Which iPhone 15 variant will you be pre-ordering?

I shouldn't complain because I basically got a free iPhone by trading in the 11 for the 13, and have no intent on leaving Verizon. Worst case scenario is that I sign up for the 36-month bill credit, and I can always pay early right (but lose the remaining bill credits those last months after I pay in full)? I haven't done any of the math or dummy orders, but I'm assuming that I would pay less than $200 if I wanted to pay it off early to upgrade in 2-years time.
Yes if you decide to upgrade before the 36 months is up, you will lose any remaining bill credits and have to pay the remaining balance.

OP you are on it!! You posted this information quickly and neatly. You must be employed by this site or Apple!

I will only watch this launch and not buy unless Verizon (my 14 Pro Max is on a payment plan) offers an irresistible trade-up deal. However, I seriously doubt that will happen. Besides, gotta save my coins for Vision Pro!
Thank you. I wish I had a second job at Apple. I just want to help those with Verizon who are upgrading.

So if you order through Apple and get the Verizon promo with trade-in, can you do an in-store pick up at an Apple Store and get instant credit off of the price of the new iPhone? In other words avoid the delays and potential issues with trade-ins through mail?
Yes you should be able to. I was trying to avoid mailing my trade-in, so I’m going to sell mine through Decluttr for $850 instead.
 
I'm preordering through Apple, but Verizon is my carrier. Do I need to do any special things to transfer my carrier information from one device to another?
 
Need advice on how to upgrade to a iPhone 15 Pro. I’m on Verizon with only 12 months into my 36 month payment plan on my iPhone 14.

The options Verizon has are:

Pay off your device's remaining balance of $764. This will make this device eligible for trade-in.

Pay $214 and return your device.
You'll pay 50% of device's balance and return it in good condition.

What’s the best option? What about via Apple directly?

What are the stipulations if you return the device and pay the $214? Are you able to upgrade then?

Verizon really screwed those of us on the iPhone every year program when they went to the 36 month payment plans. I'm in the same boat but owe $180 towards the 50% balance.

Yes that sucks. They need to change that plan. Would you be willing to pay the remaining balance to bring you to 50% so that you can upgrade?
 
I will be ordering iPhone 15 Pro Max 256 Gb in blue on Saturday at 2:00 PM over the phone with my local Verizon authorized Cellular Sales Store.

How long did it take Verizon last year to sell out of pre orders for the 14PM?
It depended on the size and color. The popular colors in the popular sizes didn't last long. I remember canceling my order and re-ordering a far less popular color and size because the estimated shipping date was weeks down the road for the popular colors and sizes. When I re-ordered the less popular one, it shipped immediately.

I do remember that happening last year and a few people did what you did.
 
Based on prior years is the 830 promotion only during pre-order or stays on till the holidays?
 
Wondering if Verizon will take a phone in any condition as they have in the past, or if they want pristine?
Will be trading my daughter's 12 Max and noticed last night she has a hairline crack in the back.......
I will be buying my phone through Apple. I know they want no issues with trade-in. Would buy hers through Verizon if they do the "any condition" thing....

I would reach out to a rep right now and see what they say. They just may continue their past practice when trading in a device.
 
That time of year again where i pre-order a new phone. Was going to skip this year but my mom called me last night asking if she was getting a new phone this year bc she needs a new one....guess she be getting my iphone 14 pro max for xmas lol.

I always pay off my device at start of the year so i can upgrade. Seen some questions about this personally i wouldn't trade it into carrier bc of the credit system they do. I prefer to sell or give to family member. Good luck ordering in the morning everyone
