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 remember from last year when the iPhone 13 Pros were discounted on verison.com?
 
Verizon website still shows full payoff amount on my iphone 14 PM instead of the pay 50%, then return & upgrade :mad:...
 
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.
