Today AT&T announced that it will extend its best iPhone 3G S upgrade prices to customers who technically won’t be eligible until September, which means a whole slew of customers who were on the wrong edge of eligibility are now being offered the better price.

In preparation for the phone’s launch on Friday, AT&T wrote today: “We’ve been listening to our customers. And since many of our iPhone 3G customers are early adopters and literally weeks shy of being upgrade eligible due to iPhone 3G S launching 11 months after iPhone 3G, we’re extending the window of upgrade eligibility for a limited time.”
