Carrier T-Mobile 2018 New iPhone Pre-Order Thread

If you paid half of your device off on EIP then I think so since that’s the iPhone upgrade thing TMobile does

Thanks! Yes its paid off entirely, how does it work though? Would I pre-order it and then go trade in my current phone once the new one arrives?

Also the reason Im going this is because my current iPhone X has a crack on the back that would cost $550 to fix from Apple. So I figure well at that price let me just trade it in and upgrade. However, the T mobile trade in estimator doesnt ask for the condition of the phone, and are offering around $470 trade in value. Does T mobile not care about the condition?
 
If I’m planning on buying outright would it make sense to buy the SIM free directly from Apple?

Any disadvantage to buying on Tmobile. Main reason I want to buy thru the carrier is bc I get bonus cash back points on my CC.

Would the phone be unlocked either way?
 
Pricing for the Max is gonna be ridiculous as far as downpayment goes, unless there's some special promo. Looks like I'm headed to Apple's IUP. Zero chance I'm paying $300+ upfront for a phone, as well as $200 for AC+.

You only trade it in if you still have a remaining balance I believe? Hoping someone on here can clarify that

John( T-Mobile's CEO) just tweeted saying they will have $0 down for approved customers for the new iPhones. Don't know exactly which ones he's referring to yet but we will soon.

I called 611, it's both EIP & JOD. They don't have any other info yet like per month pricing. But it's for 3 years plus customers only the $0 down. Don't know if it's just XS or both XS & Max. They don't have that info yet either.

AppleCare+ $299 can cover loss and theft which is the same as T-Mobile handset protection and you pay $15/month so I might order it off Apple if T-Mobile doesn't have any special deal.

Three years on the same phone? Or three years with T-Mobile?
 
Well looks like I'll be getting myself a XS Max in gold. Still undecided about storage though since 64 is too little and 256 too much but, I guess I'll need to be deciding soon here.

It will not be for EIP... unless they change our max financing. It’s currently $720. JOD details forthcoming.

Did you read John Legere's twitter post, he even posted $0 down & that was for EIP, 611 told me it's both EIP & JOD for 3 years well qualified customers only. Xs Max details will come later.

I did... there may be a $0 option for certain phones, and definitely on JOD. We’ll see what communication they send out throughout the day. So far it’s just that we’ll be opening early this Friday. XS is still a $1000 phone - we don’t do $0 down on those for anyone on EIP, regardless of tenure. Again, we’ll see if they change that (they didn’t for the Note 9 or other expensive phones).

So the zero down is not for Max? He said newest phones...

We’ll see... I’m sure Legere, Sievert, and Frier will be flooding our inboxes with details. Maybe there will be a promotion with an eligible trade-in, something similar to the original Note 9 half off deal.

i can honestly say thats for 64gb iPhones i'm more then sure... possible the 64gb iPhone xs max as well ill be all over the 256gb with no down payment but i know i'm in for disappointment. there.
 
Legere and co should be ashamed. They talked up this "major offer" for the 2018 iPhones. Instead, they gave the same crappy $300 off any iPhone deal w/ trade in like last year. People aren't trading in their 10s to get $300 off a 10S.

They could add more subscribers with better subsidies too.

I am waiting to see if the X is on sale soon. T-Mobile told me they're still offering the X for $999. Which is quite laughable. I saw it drop to $780 brand new on eBay.

It's either iPhone XR or iPhone X for me. I rather get the X tbh. Don't care if the FaceID is slower and the battery life is weaker. Sure, no Band 71 LTE. But I can get an OLED display, more premium feeling phone, and a better camera set.

Ideally, I would've loved to get the XS for free on two year contract w/ an 8+ trade in. I hope the T-Mobile Board of Directors and Executive Team realizes their potential opportunity to gain more subscribers and get people on Band 71 LTE. $300 off is a damn insult.
 
I just paid off the balance of my X and on my bill pay account history it now shows the following, I am assuming I am free and clear to trade in the phone any way I want now? I am hoping so, as I intend to go with the Apple upgrade program, and I am estimated to get $475-$525 for the iPhone X right now.

They said they are discontinuing the iPhone X
 
Holding my breath and my wallet locked up with the anticipated $300-400 JOD down payment for the max. That is assumed on the down payment for the note 9. Ugh.

He said with approved credit, as a long time customer I'm hoping that doesn't mean they'd pull hard credit for this.

...and with a trade in.

I don’t go off of tweets, and Care doesn’t get info any faster than we do in Retail.

We don’t do subsidies, since there are no more service contracts.

Regular financing (EIP)? You can figure out the down payment: price minus $720

Very happy that the IUP is available online for customers wanting to go that route.
