Just received a text the other day from Verizon offering up to $800 off any iPhone 13 for upgrading as a current customer via trade-in. The most I was seeing before was $350 to $400 for upgrading or for switching to AT&T or T-Mobile with an iPhone 7 trade-in (which is what I have). Currently they are offering $650 to trade-in (via bill credits) an iPhone 6 or newer towards an iPhone 13.
If you have an older phone & are on Verizon this seems like a great deal if you just want to upgrade. Check your account to be sure.
I didn't see this deal posted yet & wanted to be sure to let everyone know. I have no clue how long this lasts.
Update - Apparently an iPhone 6 or newer is eligible for trade-in offer of $650. Just checked based on another comment. Also, probably much better to do 24-month bill credits as opposed to 30-months.
Update 2 - Just went through the process for 3 phones - (2) iPhone 7 32gb black & (1) iPhone SE 2020. They showed as $800 estimated trade-in credit. I wonder if this will be the new black friday deal they're having come out in a few hours that their website shows. I'll update if everything works out or if they try to pull things when I get the new phone and trade at store.
Update 3 - It looks like this is a loyalty offer of some sort. I saw other posts on the Verizon subreddit mentioning the same deal. It looks like not everyone gets the same offers. For background, my family have been Verizon customers since ~2011 & we switched to Start Unlimited (current plan) back in ~2016 I think if I recall. I picked up 1 of the iPhone 13's for one line today but I won't know until I get the trade-in mailer to send it out (my old iPhone 7) to know if they give me the estimated $800 trade-in for a bit. Wishing everyone good luck with this, I hope everyone is able to get it, but based on comments it sounds like the type of phone (postpaid vs. prepaid), the condition of your phone & your account plan/how long it's been since you upgraded play into whether this offer shows up for you. We were actively looking to switch to T-Mobile w/3 lines and all of our phones were older iPhones (7 & SE 2020) that were paid off so I'm guessing they factored us as potential customers that would leave which is the reason for a better than normal offer.

If you've got multiple phones, there's really no reason to go to prepaid or tmobile or whatever. I have a phone I'm making payments on, but otherwise I get unlimited everything on 3 phones for around $108-110 a month. That's like $36 a phone or so. That's pretty good.
Not sure if someone else mentioned this already, but my offer says the phone can be broken. I'm always concerned about a trade-in because most people's phones are not mint, and if they decline your trade-in I dunno what happens. But my offer specifically said "Broken". I have an iphone 6 that has a distorted screen and is a vicitim of "bend gate."
Edit: I'm getting a bait and switch. I select iphone 6 as my trade in and the screen says $1.66 a month for the iphone 13 mini. But I hit continue and when I get to the order screen it says $23.33 a month, which is regular price for the phone. It leaves my trade in blank, and I put in iphone 6 with cracked screen or something and it offers me $0 for a trade in.
I've got a lot of device dollars banked anyways, so I can probably get an iphone SE 2020 in a few months if they finally drop the price a little bit. That's annoying how they baited and switched me though.
