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.
What is activation fee anymore ,!! Just another fee from older times

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
