I wasn't gonna upgrade my Xs but at that price why not.
You get locked in for 30 months - which will be another 3 generations. They'll likely be another deal like this for the next two generations for the xs

I have two iPhone X 256 and 2 iPhone 6s. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with att for 3 yrs. which should I do? I typically sell my phones on Craigslist but these trade ins seem strong.

Sucks that they force you to go unlimited. My current rollover plan is only $190 a month for 7 phones, the new plans would be about $300. Makes no sense to switch plans. Last year the loyalty department offered $350 off the price of the phone, which may be a better deal for those still on old plans.

You are not locked in. You can leave at any time and just have to pay the balance.

I read every post in this thread, but still have a question .

Can you trade in your old phone at an At&t store? As in they will tell you the value right away? The horror stories of trading in via mail are a strong detractor.

Not to mention, iPhones hold their values incredibly well. Take the 11 pro as an example which started at the same $999 price as the 12 pro. After 12 months, your balance is down to $599. 64gb 11 pros are selling for at least $700 on swappa.

I don't understand the people who say this is a bad deal to be honest.

All these ATT deals make you switch to unlimited, I'll continue to stay on the sideline

Did you read the details on the website. It states you have to be on a newer plan. I'd trust that over WhT a rep says
I believe the difference is the older plans do not include 5G. So they may work for the promo, you need to change your older unlimited plan to get 5G.

On Apple's site, they list the iPhone 12 mini as an eligible device for this promotion, but on ATT's site they do not.

Apple.com promo details [apple.com]

"Requires upgrade of an existing line (or activation of a new line in stores) and purchase of a new iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, or iPhone 12 Pro Max on qualifying 30 month 0% APR installment plan, subject to carrier credit qualification."

ATT.com promo details [att.com]

"...new and existing customers with purchase of an Apple iPhone XS, XR, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 or 12 Pro and trade in value of $95 or above"

Obviously, since AT&T is offering the promotion, I'd trust their site over Apple's, but it certainly adds a layer of confusion.

Back in 2017 I got the iPhone 8 via loyalty and paid half price and had a 24 month contract. I got the phone in December 2017 and on February 2018 I did the unlock request and instantly got the unlock. I did this with both the iPhones 8 I got.

So if I'm on the cheapest unlimited family plan(the one you get by calling and bellyaching) and I want to trade in my iPhone X, will I need to upgrade my plan to qualify for the $800?

People saying this deal is every year are wrong. My wife has an iPhone 8 Plus and I have an iPhone X. We got them buy one get one free three years ago. Every year since then I have looked at the deals with a new iPhone comes out and have not seen anything close to this good. Especially for just upgrades and not adding new lines.

Such deals suck, its a very long time to stay locked. They are basically taking all money for this phone in next 30 months without letting you know.
They definitely let you know. If you choose not to read then you won't know. Also, the deal is that it's only $199 with trade in. $800 trade in for an iPhone 8 is a crazy good deal if you're interested in a new iPhone. You can also pay off the phone early (you lose part of the credit).I keep my phones for 4-5 years so this is a good deal for me.

It also has conflicting reports on the 12 Pro Max. Apple site includes it but AT&T site does not. Considering we are planning to switch from T-Mobile for this, I need to find out whether or not the 12 Pro Max is included. Off to Twitter
