How would you like to trade in your current iPhone for the new one that’s rumored to be released on June 9? It looks like France’s Orange may let you do just that—all you’d have to do is pay €50 and the new one is yours. That’s one possible scheme. The other would be for Orange to heavily subsidize the 3G iPhone, which is what AT&T is rumored to do here in the U.S. Should AT&T subsidize it enough, I may just have to buy one; I’ve been limping along with my LG Chocolate for far too long. It’s embarrassing.
