Default Want a new smartphone, but still under contract

Any of the CP braintrust help me out?

I'm on contract with Telus Mobility for another 6 or so months...but I want to upgrade to an Iphone.

I have offers on my account for discounts off smartphones. However, these so called "offers" are no better or sometimes worse than what a new customer would get. I still have to sign a 3 year deal for the discount as well. In the case of the iphone I would be signing a new contract and the phone would still be more expensive than it would for a new customer.

Whats the best way to negotiate a discount on a new phone if still under contract? I don't feel I should have to pay an arm and a leg for a new phone since new customers can get them cheaper.

Any advice?
