Let's hope Costco matches and the iPhone 7 or even the 6s are eligible

Yeah, I can see T-mobile scheming now on the terms:
Add 3 lines of Magenta only, requires 36 months of bill credits, trade-in iPhone X or higher and one major organ ...

So for anyone that really wants this phone ASAP you need to order it from apple and on top of trade in do the rebate for the extra $150. Otherwise shipping on Tmobile is Nov 17-23 but could be sooner. Shipping on apple for same product is October 30-November 4th. You get your product 2 weeks earlier give or take.
My order from tmobile has a shipping date of 10/23/2020 -10/23/2020

But yeah my order from apple is 10/30/2020 - 11/4/2020

So I guess it depended on how fast you got your order in.

What's up with that?
Called in and got $415 for my iPhone 8, but on the website when trying to preorder it said $100. Not sure what the issue was - the CS person I spoke to wasn't either.

Looks like the $150 Apple trade in promo is live. I was able to confirm it on the tmobile promotions website after ordering from Apple. https://promotions.t-mobile.com 2020APPLERETAILT1. Terms are as previous stated:
We found your promotion
2020 Apple Retail Trade P1
Terms & Conditions
For a limited time, customers who purchase an iPhone 12 or 12 Pro through apple.com or in Apple Retail stores and trade-in an eligible device can get $150 via Virtual Prepaid Mastercard Card from T-Mobile.

After rebate with virtual prepaid card when you trade-in a qualifying device.
Limited-time offer; subject to change. Qualifying service, & trade-in required. $150 rebate via virtual prepaid Mastercard® Card, which you can use online or in-store via accepted mobile payment apps; no cash access & expires in 6 months. Card is issued by Sunrise Banks N.A., Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Mastercard International Incorporated. Mastercard is a registered trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated. Use of this card constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions stated in the Cardholder Agreement. Lines must be active and in good standing when card is issued. Allow up to 2 weeks after fulfilment of offer requirements. Max 4 per account offer / discounted devices/account. May not be combined with some offers or discounts (e.g., Carrier Freedom).


This offer cannot be combined with Carrier Freedom.
This offer is now advertised on Apple's site, but you need to buy T-Mobile or Sprint iPhone to get the $150, not the unlocked version as stated by someone here previously. If you have 8 Plus or better iPhone, I think it's better deal since you will be getting more than $415 and not in bill credits.

Terms on Apple's site below...


Special Offers at Apple

T-Mobile/Sprint customers, you can now take advantage of special offers when you buy from Apple online (existing customers) or at your nearest Apple Store (new and existing customers). And if you have any questions,

.

Get an additional $150 trade-in credit from T‑Mobile/Sprint with trade-in of iPhone 8 or newer.° You'll also get a $30 T‑Mobile/Sprint instant discount (requires activation).
What is the offer?
For a limited time, trade in an iPhone 8 or newer (in good condition) when you buy your new iPhone from Apple and get an additional $150 trade-in credit from T‑Mobile/Sprint after your purchase.
How do I get the offer?
When you buy your new iPhone from Apple, choose T-Mobile or Sprint as your carrier, trade in an iPhone 8 or newer, then activate with any T-Mobile/Sprint phone plan. Once your order is complete, you'll get an email with next steps.
How does the trade-in credit work?
You'll receive two different trade-in credits — one from Apple and one from T‑Mobile/Sprint.
Apple trade-in credit
When you trade in with Apple, you'll get an estimated trade-in value. If you pay monthly, that value will be applied as an instant credit to lower your monthly payments. If you pay in full, your payment method will be credited after your trade-in is received.
T-Mobile/Sprint trade-in credit
Once your trade-in is complete, you'll get the additional $150 trade-in credit in the form of a virtual prepaid Mastercard® from T-Mobile/Sprint. You'll receive an email (after you place your order) with a promo code that you'll submit at promotions.T-Mobile.com.
Which phone plans are eligible?
You can activate on any T-Mobile/Sprint phone plan. To be eligible for the offer, you will need to authorize activation when you buy your new iPhone from Apple.

Is anyone NOT getting the stated trade in value? I'm getting $193 for my iPhone X, when I should be getting $415?
I think that's normal. $193 is the regular trade in value. You'll get $193 upon trade in and the rest as bill credits.

Used the Tmo app this AM at 6:45AM CST.
Me:
- Simple Choice Plan x 5 lines
- 2 lines are One on Us promo
- 3 lines are are 5 years, 2 months and 5 days old
- iPhone 11 Pro 256 in green. iPhone XS 64 in gold

What I got:
- traded in both iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone XS for $500 via monthly bill credits x 30
- got two iPhone 12 Pro 128 via installment plan
- got $200 Mastercard (go to https://promotions.t-mobile.com/ to claim. Use promo code 2020APPLEUPGRADE3. MUST BE DONE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF ORDER) for being customer for more than 5 years.
- paid $80 in taxes up front for each phone
- ship date Oct 23

This deal makes sense for me. I do not have any intention of leaving Tmo. For people who are moving or in a Tmo low service area this may not make sense.

almost made up my mind to order one but then I realized there absolutely nothing wrong with my iPhone XS lol..it still works and looks like new. damn these deals
Exactly I have an iphone X and can't justify the upgrade. That's what I like about iphones there is nothing new every year so no desire just saving money.

Thanks, this is super helpful. So if I want the 256GB Pro model the Costco deal is not for me?

I also don't like adding additional lines as this is always a pain. Especially if you are on a grandfathered T-One Plus Promo plan which I don't want to mess up with.
I waited for my Costco to come up with a 11 pro 256GB version for months last year. I finally go one in January. I started looking for it in November.

Got $415 for iPhone X 256 GB and $500 for iPhone XS Max 256gb. Decided to just buy from Apple directly and sell phones on eBay. I can get about the same in resale. DOn't have to deal with bill credits and got phones on October 23rd from Apple.

Not worth it. Wait for Costco deals. Here you gotta send them your old phone that is worth maybe 1/2 what they're offering but then you have to pay the Iphone 12 at full price. Rather wait for discounted Iphone deal with a trade in and the billing credits for Black Friday deals.

If this works like other trade-in promos, the $193 is probably the trade in value they will credit you immediately upon receipt, then the difference $415 - $193 will be made up in monthly bill credits.

I also had 10/23/2020 -10/23/2020 on the first few pages. I did it within 2-3 minutes of it going live at 8 am eastern but then at the end on my account status dashboard it gave me the new shipping date. Maybe I was too slow so my shipping changed but I literally took no longer than 2-3 minutes to complete.

Will they test vocabulary, grammar and diction to qualify for the Pro or will it be like the old PS4 Pro ?
Low I.Q. with lots of mama's tip money to burn?

So dumb question, but how are you folks getting these deals? Just changing phone numbers regularly? Are you porting your number out to prepaid and then coming back? I'm an existing T-Mobile customer, don't want to change my number.
