Hello all,

Just creating a thread about promotion going on BestBuy when you buy any of the iPhone 13 series(mini, regular, pro or pro max).
If you buy 13 model with T-mobile from BestBuy, you will get great trade-in values.
I got $630 trade-in value for 12 mini (originally $400 at Apple). So upgraded for 170+tax to 13 regular. Upgrading from 12 to 13 will cost you even less.
Postpaid plan, unlock on 40th day. Phone is outright buy so no bill credits. 12 Pro max gets up to $975.
Deal only works if you have in-store stock at your local BestBuy.

This is just proof of how big the margins are on the various providers over priced monthly unlimited plans. They are willing to give you a new phone, and then let you walk away in a few months.

There a lot of people sitting with providers for years. So probably couple hundred/thousands of people running away will not kill the business but help to grow the audience instead.
Just like people keep abusing Costco's return policy with half eaten pies and dead Christmas trees after the holidays, it still continues to grow, since the price of that "loss" is already implemented in.
