I could trade in my 13 Pro Max for $580 and pay the difference about $662 with tax and all. No contract etc. OR I could take the Verizon deal trading in my phone for 1,000 credit and pay 5.55/month for 36 months.

What do you all think is the better deal? Obviously the Verizon deal is less money however, it does tie me to Verizon for 36 months…

Thanks!
 
I guess it comes down to whether you think you could be ok with holding on to your phone for the next three years or will you want to upgrade again before the credits expire.

If you think you might want to upgrade around the two year mark once again (with iPhone 17) then just do the math and see which would be cheaper for you. That would probably be your best bet.

I did the $580 trade in and paid the balance outright. I've never done carrier contracts and don't recommend it.

Ended up trading in my 13 Pro Max at Apple and taking the 15 Pro Max black titanium, love it!
