Yes. I've done it many times.

Edit: But I would list your 11 on swappa for ~$400 and buy a $200 iphone 8. Same value on the trade. If you buy on Swappa, you can use the IMEI for a deferred trade in while you wait for the phone to be shipped. This way you put another ~$200 in your pocket.
Did you do early pay off while you still getting credits for your line ?

Looks like the Mother's day iPhone 12 offer requires iPhone 8 or higher for trade-in.

We cannot trade any other phones like Samsung A71 5G.

Is my understanding correct?

Alex, did you know that the Pro's could always shoot videos with all 3 lenses even after starting to record the video?

That's something which the non pro cannot do. You can switch between lenses and then start to record but the focal length changes thereafter would just be digital and not optical.
There are obviously other differences between the 12 and 12Pro. I was trying to summarize the differences in a few sentences while also answering if the lidar feature was the "must have" feature that should help you decide between the two phones.

Frankly, if you're asking on a forum which phone you should get, you probably don't really know or care what you're getting, clearly you don't care enough to do your own basic research. Note that asking about a specific feature and someone's actual daily experience with it is different however. The Lidar was a good question because it is far from clear what actual uses one gets in theory and what uses one gets in practice, if ever, IRL.

So with all that in case you don't know, Apple has this nifty tool. You can see all the differences, in detail, for yourself.

One more question.... am I better going to a store and paying it off vs doing it online? Is there a processing time for payments or will it show up immediately as paid off?

Then I have question on how it works.
At present, my credits are $10/month and I owe $12/month.
So the actual EIP is $22/month.
There are 10 months left for my EIP to complete. So If I pay off now, it would be $22*10 = $220.
Then I continue to get remaining credits and rest of the 10months? which would be $22/month credit for 10months? Is my math correct?

These used to seem like good deals but ever since we went to Mint Mobile for $15 a month for unlimited talk & text, 4gb 5g data, t-mobile seems like they're fleecing you with just the $70 minimum monthly plan fee.

$1680 plus taxes and fees vs $360 total a year for 2 lines.
Fleecing does not apply for everyone. I have a family with 8 lines for about $110 a month with taxes and fees. In average we use ~ 20-30GB of data each. So your "fleecing" 5GB data won't work for us. It also includes Netflix and one of family members travels abroad a few times a year ( TM covers most international destinations with free text and data, plus GoGo Wifi ). Very happy with them!
If you are with Mint Mobile what are you doing here?

I have a 4S which qualified for $365 off a 12 mini last time. I missed the deal last time. This time 4S does not qualify.

In my opinion, this is a good deal only if you're current T-Mobile customers. Most of us are having multiple free lines via their promotions and free phone with monthly credits is a nice bonus.
