taking pictures should be ok, I'm talking about 4K ProRes video recording though, needs at least 256gb storage to unlock the option.
Did you end up using this promo? Did the deals stack? On the website, it seems like you can only choose either the carrier deal or the Apple promo.
I believe the T-mobile bill credit amount are adjusted based on the apple instant trade-in value. Thus the deals stack up, but the total value of the deal is not what you think.
So would there be any additional bill credits? I’d be trading in a 13 Pro (and I’m on Magenta Max). I know the $1000 bill credits would cover the cost of the phone, just curious how the $600 Apple Trade in would play into it?
I had this problem too.
Tmobile had me order using the more expensive magenta max plan while staying on the live chat to make sure the order went through and my 55 plus plan didn’t change . It took an entire day of being on the phone with Apple and Tmobile before I finally got someone on Tmobile chat that actually wanted to help . Tmobile even asked why I wanted to purchase from Apple instead of them . … I’ll keep an eye on my plan now for the next few billing cycles to make sure they don’t try and pull something
Originally Placed order on 14th - 14 pro max 128gb and later chose to cancel (because I decided to go with the 256gb instead) Order was still in pending status (Backorder) when I called to cancel - was confirmed over the phone by an order specialist that the order was indeed canceled.(This was 2 days ago) So last night I received an email that the supposedly canceled 128gb is preparing to ship. On the phone half the day with them today, and of course it is too late for them to stop the delivery - so now I have to take it to UPS tomorrow once delivered to be returned back to shipper. It's been a nightmare with them all week regarding this. The agent stated today that the refund would be restored back to my account once they received the phone back - I said no way, It's not my fault you guys messed this up - talk to your supervisor - I want my refund asap please! So on the phone with them half hour later agent said they are refunding me an advancement within 48hrs of today. We'll see how that goes... I've been beyond patient with them all this week, but today was the last straw.
I had a pro and pro max pickup for launch day . Returned the pro and kept the max . Got the refund within a day I believe .
Also on the Max 55+ plan. Very disappointing they are not doing this plan with Apple for the $1000 total credit. They ARE doing it directly with T-Mobile, but I am having trouble understanding what my actual bill will be each month. I guess I’m being stupid, but it seems I will be paying them an amount above the plan cost each month for 24 months - even if I buy the $999 phone and get a total of $999 credit. Makes no sense to me.
So, I work for T-Mobile. And, the way they do it for some reason is they give you the fair market value for your phone up front. So, let’s say your phone would be worth $200 as a regular trade in with no promotion. You would get that $200 at the time of the sale to help with taxes and accessories you might buy. If you don’t use it all, the remainder gets credited to your bill. Then, the remaining $800 would be split up into 24 months worth of credits towards your $1000 phone. I’m not a huge fan of it, but that’s the way they do it. Hope this helps explain it a bit.
Thanks for the explanation, really appreciate it.
Yes. The total benefit of the promotion is $999.99. This will be given to you as a $215 one-time bill credit in addition to 24 monthly bill credits of $32.71.
Thank you very much! Makes perfect sense. Really appreciate you answering in this much detail.
