Totally agree. I could see the satisfaction in their eyes when I said "already did" when asked if I need to do any backup.

definitely.
I did that deal about 4 times and each time the employees thanked me for having everything ready.

I was genuinely asking, not criticizing the deal. Sorry it set off your 'bruh' alert

Nice comeback. Repped

Many of us here trade in our phones every year, so the two year satelite service plan is irrelevant.

I'm going to wait until later this fall...it doesn't seem like any of these trade in offers are too compelling for us "simple choice" plan holders. I can't see them getting worse...though I've been wrong before!

Yep same here, the more we resist current deals the better chances of better deals later.

They won't, there is super high demand for this.
When the phone actually becomes available in a few weeks there will be even higher demand.
The only time that they might have better deals I would say 3 to 6 months down the road when everybody has gotten their 14's and then they want to sell more to the ones who haven't gotten it.

Just stop. You don't have a crystal ball that accurately predicts these deals any more than we do. This is pure conjecture on your part. I can say the complete opposite and tell everyone there will be hot deals upcoming as these carriers try to hit their quarterly target numbers. Doesn't mean squat. None of us actually know.

Does best buy have any stock for walk ins on release day? For some reason I did the math wrong in my head and thought apple and best buy deals were only $10 apart from each other but it's closer to $90 😩

I just upgraded my 6 lines of the Magenta Plus(not Max) on T-Mobile App, I was able to get full credit of $1000 or $800 for old iPhones. If you plan on staying for 24 mo, give it a shot if you are on some top-tiered grandfather plan.

Was that a guaranteed trade in amount or will your phones be evaluated by third party group once received and tested? T-Mobile has history of saying up to and then when you get the credit three billing cycles later they really give you half that or worse. By that time you can't get phone you traded in back and can't return the new iPhone 14 which is why they seem to have it set up for three cycles later to find out actual trade in amount?

What's magenta plus? I am on magenta 1.0. My upgrade options are magenta or magenta max. Max is insanely expensive ($160) more than my current plan. But even magenta is $60 more. So the extra trade in would be eaten up in a few months and the benefit increase is minimal. Only added benefit I see is unlimited 5G instead of unlimited LTE and 100mb of premium data. I see no value there.

BTW. Don't take this as criticism of your post. I am appreciative of it. For some people it may be good.

I am gonna keep my fingers that Best Buy sweetens the deal to last years level. $100 upgrade each year is awesome!

I did it on T-Mobile website, it clearly shows I got full credit.

I had this Magenta Plus 2-3 years ago and stacked with a few free lines promo, before Magenta Max even exist.

What is Magenta Plus? Can you provide more detail about this plan. I can't search it online

I tried this morning to upgrade 2 more lines with my Magenta Plus plan, Now it is showing me only 50% credit. This makes me worried. I already placed a few orders with full credit, I took screen shot, but now I can't seem to find any information about bill credit for the trade in under order status page.

I am sure they will. Keep in mind that last year BestBuy rolled out famous $100 upgrade deal only after 1-1.5 month after release. By that time I stupidly upgraded my wife for $400 using Apple. For myself I went a better route.
They just need sales data for the first 4 weeks - if it is lower than expected, they will start rolling out incentives like that.
