Apple's deal seems more appealing, $790 trade in + $200 T-Mobile bill credit on current plan compared to their deal

Good to know. That kind of stinks but guess if I do end up going through T-mobile and I pre-order I'll just pay for overnight then.
I hope the JOD pricing is also more like the 11 was with $0 to low down payments and higher per month cost, but if I were a betting man, the prices are the same as last year and the down payments will be the same. But again I hope they are lower...
I liked 2 years ago during the 11 when they did the whole super well qualified for JOD for long time customers that gave us lower down payments with the higher per month. I have no issues paying $50 a month for my device if I'm only putting $100 down. That was what JOD was advertised when it started out. I've been on JOD since iPhone 8 (the original JOD) and now it keeps getting worse every year. If it's high down payments again this year I'm likely to keep my 12 Pro and just pay off the JOD in 6 months when it's up and move over to EIP where it seems the better deals are now...
I’m interested in this too. My gf has an 11 fully paid off and looking to upgrade.
So, wonder what the best/cheapest path for me is upgrading a line via Sprint onto a 13 Pro Max:
I have two open, upgradable lines. One with my 11 Pro Max 256 an one with my wife’s 8 Plus 256.
My plan is to trade in the iPhone 8 Plus 256 (seems like it’s the last round of “eligibility” for that”) with me adding the 13 Pro Max to my line and sliding her my 11 Pro Max.
We are currently on "Unlimited Plan v10"
Would it be better/cheaper to purchase via Apple with a connection to our sprint account or buy direct from sprint/t-mobile ... or is there no difference?
Thanks in advance!

They lowered the 12 Pro to $680 but still a better deal with the extra bill credit. Definitely going to do this for my wife as she's done with her XR. I'm still on the fence about upgrading.
Yeah that’s what I plan on doing. You can give them a call afterwards when you get the phone and say something like shipping was suppose to be free and they’ll credit you for it.
I guess I just have to kind of sit and wait to see what T-Mobile does for JoD. Honestly, if they wanna kill JoD, they should offer us all one more upgrade for $0 down and then say "okay, that's it, JoD is over".
I'm not leaving my SCNA plan and although I could buy out my iPhone 12 Pro and then sell it back to them, then JoD wouldn't be an option so I'd have to EIP and get bill credits over like...30 months. I despise calling T-Mobile monthly to make them add credits they missed.

Looks like the 55+ variant of Magenta MAX will be qualified for the $500 bill credit, based on my discussion with a rep. Incredible to get $1290 total credit for a phone that I paid $1200 for a year ago.
Yeah this is what I want to know…Jump and jump on demand pricing, down payment/monthly payment, trade in discounts, etc. I don’t like that forever plan that’s only for people who switch to a magenta plan that would cost me MORE money, and you can only upgrade every 2 years, instead of each year
Oh it’s that time again!! 😁 I’ve religiously upgraded iPhones every single year since iPhone 4. And I’ve been coming here for a few years at least, to mellow with all the other shipping posts. I’m going from 12 pro max gold to 13 pro max blue if there are any when I go to order it. I almost got the blue last year and didn’t. Not sure how great the pre preorder function they added is but I’ll be up at 8am waiting to click that button. Do have to say it sure beats the 3am they had few years back. I have T-Mobile but I’m ordering it unlocked so I don’t have to deal with hiccups. Just put my sim in and be done
On the front page of their website they mention 30 monthly bill credits for their iphone 13 on us promo. So I'm guessing the EIP pricing in general will be based on 30 months instead of 24.
Is this thread totally dead? Nothing all day? It's usually at least 10 pages by Thursday!
I just DM'd T-Mobile to ask what the story is with JoD. I'm over here trying to make informed decisions and I'm not getting much from them.
