The fine print says minimum qualified plan is 75/mo. That's where they get you with these "free deals" - locking you in at high monthly rate for 3 yrs.

Quick math assuming you are ok with Visible/Mint at $30/mo - overpaying by $45/mo for 36=$1620, that's what you are paying for the "free iphone".

If you live in an area which has good coverage then better buy an unlocked phone and get a carrier of your choice than getting robbed by these guys for 36 months.
I have an unlocked phone & pay $20 per month for service. Can't be happier.

C'mon ATT. Friends that ordered direct though Apple had theirs on release day. Evidently getting a color instead of plain must delay things? My blue pro max says it will ship by early Oct and white pro max by late Oct. I was hoping that was a conservative estimate but no action yet on first phone.

Has anyone confirmed that ordered from this ATT/Costco deal, they were able to take their trade device into a ATT corporate store?

Yeah we did it over the weekend. Didn't make an appointment or anything. Just walked in, gave them our trade in phone and got a receipt. Make sure to get a receipt.

This isn't a good deal you have to stay in contract for 3 years and if you leave or pay off the phone earlier you forfeit the credit
These blanket statements are not helpful.

You pay 75$/month with ATT. That's the worst deal you can ever get into for 3 years contract being slickdeal user.

On top of you are international traveler, you can't use the phone in Europe .... till it gets unlocked.
They have a $10 a day international roaming fee. Up to max 10 days ($100)

Is anyone able to get the extra $100 bill credit (not the $100 costco card) added to their order? Seems to fall off as you go through checkout

My original estimate was mid-October delivery but I actually ended up getting my phone a couple days after the release date.

Gulag "iPhone 15 overheating".
Tungsten doesn't transmit heat as well.
The "fix" will probably be slowing down the processor.

Isn't direct deal from AT&T better than Costco offer with the added $200 billing credit on top of trade-in credit?? You have to pay $35 Activation Fee, but still would come out better....

OFFER APPLIED: You're getting $200 in bill credits over 36 months with upgrade on an installment plan. Credits start within 1 bill cycle.

OFFER APPLIED: You're getting up to $1,000 off iPhone 15 Pro Max with elig. trade-in on installment & elig. unlimited plan (speed restr's apply). Credits start within 3 bills. Without unlimited, device is full price.

This is not how it works. You can check if you can trade in a device, for example, an iPhone 13, which is usually worth $380 in the market, but they are offering only $1000 for it
