What did everyone think about the keynote? I am excited to upgrade my 14 Pro Max. What color and iPhone variant will you be pre-ordering? I’m undecided between White and Blue 15 Pro Max 512GB. I prefer not to have another blue iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Summary of what has been announced at the keynote:

*Pre-order date: September 15
*Launch date: September 22

Does anyone know how you can apply a downpayment and still get trade-in promo credit on a pre-order/order? I did a mock order of an iphone 14 and I don't see a way to make my monthly payment 0 (after credit) by applying a downpayment.

Did you have that option and it disappeared somehow?
I've had that option for the last 4 consecutive upgrades, but not on this one for some reason. I did call them and they just scheduled a callback since they still have no info on the iPhone 15 PM...

When going through Apple website, AT&T and T-Mobile shows $1000 trade in for some items where Verizon is sadly $800.
Yes, Verizon looks to be the worst of the big 3....

Verizon $800 over 36 months, though some of that is instant.
AT&T $1,000 over 36 months
T-Mobile $1,000 over 24 months

T-Mobile has really improved coverage in my area, and their 5G is faster that Verizon.....I am going to give them a hard look for sure.
