Thank you - you're the first person who suggested to just buy the phone outright becasue all of the "deals" end up costing a lot more over time. I thought I was missing something (which happens a lot now that I'm a senior citizen :) ) Off to the Apple online store and then to pick a low cost MVNO. Thanks again!!!

Love the retro stereo on the floor! Ah, the memories.

With Verizon, if you’re 55+ or have a parent that is. Adding them to your plans gets you $20 off per line. So effectively your Verizon plan would be $55/line (for the best coverage in the US)

I am buying it outright at the Apple Store from the mall , I have a $50 plan from T-Mobile. I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max

I didn’t analyze it this way before. I think just for being practical but from now unless they come with a better deal than buying from Apple I love this. Thanks for the wake up call.

I have this question, if I want a plan of New line for 4 , do I have to trade in 4 iphones or is it ok to trade in for just one? while 3 of us would just have the new line and not an exchanged iphone.

Good video, I liked it & subscribe.

Ever since Verizon stretched their payments out to 30 and 36 months, their trade in upgrade plan has become a bit of a trap and rip-off. After 2 years, when you are tempted to buy the next new phone, you have to immediately pay off the remainder the current phone--and whatever credit you 'were' getting for the phone trade for that one, Verizon ends up keeping the remainder of the credit. You never really get that full discount amount for that earlier trade. Also it's never really clear whether you will only being tax on the 'net' amount of the purchase or whether it's the full amount until after the transaction, at least when upgrading through Verizon. They use ambiguous language in the terms that allows them to charge full sales tax even if you are only spending $400 on the $1200 phone. Seems like it's completely random here in NJ.

TY Exact reason I started questioning/researching It's tempting but def a trap

I have the Next program with AT&T, where I can upgrade at half the time. It’s only $6 more. I’m lucky I got the iPhone 14 Pro Max (256 gb), because there’s not a whole lot different with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Well I got a a23 uw Samsung galaxy 5g is that a good trade for iPhone 15 or 14 or 13?

so your saying if i trade my 11 in for a 15 it’s free?

if i take family plan with 5 members I can get at & t 75 dollar plan for 35, then am I eligible for 1000 credit?

Keeping my 13 PM as well

We have Verizon and have for many years! We have the family share plan and I have bought my last 2 phones refurbished and saved a lot of money! However I’m still on IPhone 8 and have to plug my phone into charger to keep battery running and I shoot a lot of videos with this and my video camcorder. We get these messages from Verizon all the time saying trade in any phone for $365 off for new IPhone 15 pro. I’m considering going to the store and see what it’s all about. Anyone else have done this yet? Just wondering, thanks!

So you say T-Mobile is a bad price, but you know T-Mobile only offers 24 month payments unlike AT&T and Verizon they only offer 36 month plans. So with T-Mobile you will have it paid off a year sooner.

@@King_Prel the cost with AT&T & Verizon is 3 years $2700 and it takes you THREE YEARS to OWN your phone. T-Mobile is $2400 over two years and you OWN your phone after TWO YEARS! That means you can drop or buy a new phone after two years, With the two others you must wait 3 YEARS to drop or buy a new device. I'll take the 2 year option......

I wasn’t trading in my 4 month old pro for a 15 max. So I outright bought one. I’m keeping these phones til they die completely

I switched from T-mobile to Verizon on a single line plan and have the 15 pro max 36 months. Yes it does cost more than T-mobile but I don’t mind. I’m am very satisfied with my service. I plan on keeping this phone till it becomes useless.

I had an IPhone 13 PM, it was was paid off. Verizon had a promotion. I traded it in. You have to be on the unlimited ultimate plan $100, the iPhone 15 is $33 a month plus insurance $17 monthly. So it’ll be around 133 a month plus taxes and fees. So maybe 146 monthly. Your first bill will be high due to one time charges.

I love at&t

We have five lines and we have att and we want to change. Should we do Verizon at 210 a month plus tax or T-Mobile at 180 a month

If u have 5 lines on starter with att you will get them all with 150 plus tax which still cheaper than the others

And our plan through the manager discounts come out to 68/60/ or /52 for one line 3 or more lines there in the 40s . Nice video just need get some facts right my friend. Need ATT at a good price LMK. Just finished helping someone in Tennessee I am in Cali and hooked them up for 143.72 monthly with all 3 15 pro max 256 guess how much they will pay for there iPhone? 0️⃣ just the taxes 😊

The AT&T plan thing is wrong , you don’t have to be on premium or extra to get the 1,000 trade in credit. You can be on any plan that is 5G and is not a prepaid plan. That means starter, FN, 55+ , business . It just has to be a post paid plan with 5G

bought 14 pro max since released. And will keep this until 20 pro max ultra or something. Tired of upgrading to each new phone they releaser every year. There's barely any design change, software change. not to mention quality has been degrading tremendously over time. Hopefully they're awake. not woke

Telling us how much we will pay for the plan in a yr is dumb. Most people with the big 3 know what their plan is. 😊

@juniorgonzalez48322 so basically, they sign me up for a business account when I didn’t even have a business when I went to the store originally intending on getting the iPhone 14 Pro Max, they told me before I even got to the store that they would hold one for me 15 minutes later, I arrive at the store and it turns out that they made a mistake and that the 14 Pro Max was actually going to get bought by one of the people who work there. So that was one red flag but I ignored it because they had a 14 pro so I go through it. When I get home the number doesn’t even work anymore then after three days of being on the phone with customer service my phone finally starts to work. Time goes on and the service is honestly horrible. Now granted I did fall a little bit behind recently because of bills they were very very unwilling to help me fix it or make any sort of payment arrangements. I gave them close to $400 and they still shut my phone off it was right there that I decided they will not get another penny from me. I went back to T-Mobile three weeks ago.

I think Verizon doin that same shit. It’s all a scam but they gotta make money somehow i guess? 🤷‍♂️ they say it’s on us but it’s really not. If it was actually on them your bill should only be like $200 cause I traded in the thousand dollar iPhone 15 pro for the 15 promax. But if you look at the terms and conditions, it says credits on 36 months so you’re still paying for the fucking phone. Ripoff all carriers are a rip off.

The $1000 trade in deals lock you in to 3 year contracts. If you cancel service, you immediately owe the full cost of your phone minus any trade in credits you have already received.
