I remember last year when I did buy the iPhone XS Max 256gb My down payment was only 250+ tax for well-qualified customers, I don’t know if they’re going to do the same thing this year
Got a tip for us?

I want out of the JOD program and per t mobile they told me I can pay $510 total to pay off the lease and the balance and I would own the phone. Then I would trade it into Apple for the upgrade program. I am debating and think it may be a waste of money. Not sure what to do.
That's definitely the way out, however you'll want to see what Apple is offering as a trade-in value for your phone and compare it to the $510 you just had to pay. I suspect you're going to come up a good bit short on the value meter----but you can also sell the phone, possibly for more than the $510 you have to pay, and do the Apple program without a trade.
Good call. I see the $599 on Apple but didn’t think it’s probably not the 64 max I have.
You can jump to a new phone this year, but it doesn't preclude the possibility that they will require a down payment on this year's phone. I suspect that all models of the pro will carry some sort of down payment, but you may be able to get the non-pro without a down payment.
From my experience with T-Mobile, we haven’t had to pay a down payment on a phone that is $750 or less. Anything higher we pay that difference. So if I want the 64gb Pro, I’m looking at a $250 dp. For a 64gb Pro Max it probably going to be $350 
Soooo, if that’s how it’s going to be for this years’ launch, I may just opt for the 64gb 11 in purple. I have a 6 year old, rent, and a new car payment (among other bills), so I have to spend wisely!
I just found out I can’t JOD until the 16th, just my luck haha. I had recently switched to the coral XR

I only had to put 250 down for my max 256gb last year my payments were $41 a month and change
I feel like Tmobile is becoming Verizon, the whole add a line for a deal is BS. Tmobile deals used to be good

Haha I feel you on the new car payment! I have one too! 64gb is plenty for me. I’ve barely used all mine on my XS. So 64gb Purple 11 for me! *fingers crossed* no down payment lol
64gb is plenty for me too! I have the 200gb iCloud so I never really felt the need for more in a phone. But that’s just me
No down payment would be amazing! I feel like the purple is going to sell out super quick!
T-Mobile is always so slow on releasing their pricing. My wife has an 8 plus, and really wants a green iPhone 11. I’ve got an XS Max, and trying to decide between an 11, 11 pro, or 12 pro max. We’ve both got series 4 watches, but will probably stick with those. The new iPad looks intriguing, too. C’mon Tmo, get your prices together!
One rep told me pricing will be available tomorrow...but you know how T-Mobile is lol
I think they just wing it on that stuff.
[doublepost=1568242349][/doublepost]I do think it was the day before pre-order day last year, though.

I’ve seen a lot of people actually wanting the green/mint. But yeah both those will go fast since they are new most likely!
I hear a lot of people say this and I'm curious..., reports say this years modem is 15% faster than last years, which seems like a bigger difference than Qualcomm versus Intel... so I'm not sure why not having Qualcomm is so important but that 15% speed gain is not...
Last year at launch, on JOD the XS was $99 down and the XS Max was $109 down. Since the MSRP didn’t change for this year, I’m hoping they stick to those or even lower them!
It’s not like trading in a car and someone else paying the loan off you have to pay the phone off
The speed isn’t what’s bothering me. It’s the reception. My XS Max don’t stay connected to WiFi all the time, and the places I get service on my 7+, I don’t get that service on my XS Max. I need better reception for work, as I deliver mail, and it’s crucial to have my GPS work for directions in new neighborhoods and to be able to call whenever something goes wrong.
