down payment on iphone should be around 550 may well pay in full.

That’s one of the things I hated about T-Mobile. If I have to pay more than $500 for a down payment, I might as well pay it off. With Verizon I don’t have to put any money down and all I would pay is just the taxes, although I would have a higher monthly payment, so I’ll be paying outright this year.

Not trying to be rude? Is that credit related? They only made me pay taxes. Then I paid 1/24th the cost of the device a month. They gave me multiple phones like that as well. They also told me I do it online they don't charge me shipping or the "upgrade fee or SIM card fee".

I did have an issue with a store who told me they would give me a free iPhone 11 when I upgrade my parents iPhones 8s. The deal was I needed a new line but the manager said I would get it regardless and didn't need a new line. When the credit didn't come I was told that I didn't qualify after going to the store multiple times and them telling me I would get the credit.

Finally like 3-4 months in I stopped talking to T-mobile customer service and the store. Threaten to cancel. And the contract I signed said I would get a free phone credit. "that manager lied and was fired" isn't good enough. They ended up just giving me the credit and said going forward to do it online to be 100% sure I qualify for promotions. As T-mobile stores are independent so what they say might not be true.

What are you going to pre-order based off the rumors?
Until they show up, my answer is, as always, None of the above.

Although I say that every year, many years I do order when I see a feature that I really like but nothing in the previews is catching my eye. Yet another wide angle lens? Nope. 5G? For the little time I spend on the internet through my phone, no appeal there, either.

I went from the 4S to 5S (2 years) to 7+ (3 years) to Xs (3 years) to 11 Pro (1 year).

Truth is that I really like my iPhone 11 Pro and can't see a reason to upgrade… unless Apple shows me something new that I really want. If that happens, I'll upgrade again.

Lol we will see... most likely I will because I always do lmao but I really do love this purple.

I wish the Pro models came in colors like the non-pro models. I would’ve got a purple phone in a heartbeat. All I’ve had for the last 3 years is gold and space gray (which I will never buy again) iPhones. Those colors seem so boring to me.

Likely downsizing to the 5.4" unless there's something very tempting in the Pro this year.

It’s why I don’t buy the Pro models (also I personally don’t have a need for all the extra stuff). The new blue does look nice this year however.

I like the new blue, but I want my phone to match my watch. I have the Gold aluminum S4 44mm and this year I want a silver 12 Pro Max, so I’m going to look for a silver glossy bumper to match my phone.

Hey all.

I talked to T-Mobile last night for just over 20 minutes. The T-Mobile rep told me apple is finalizing promotional deals with them for pre-order in the next 2 weeks.

No... I am talking Nvidia Graphics card for my computer.

I am still all in on iPhone 12. I just ordered my Series 6 Apple Watch from T-Mobile this morning.
OH! brain fart.

If the phone is the same price as last year down payment should be near 530 for pro max.

I was hearing it was cheaper from the reps but I guess we will see.

Does anyone know if the 12 will do anything to improve reception on the T-Mo network? I have an X right now and the reception in some areas where I live is horrible. Often times, I have only 1 bar and at times it even even drops to straight 4G (not LTE 4G). When that happens, I can't connect to the web and have troubles making calls. So I am hoping the 12 might improve reception somewhat, outside of even 5G, which is limited in central Florida from what I can tell.

Thanks for any thoughts.
