Took me all of 30-45 minutes to:
1. Pay off the last month on two devices
2. Order and give payment for the two new iPhones
Order on the phone with Verizon and keep your plan, it's the best way to upgrade this cycle for Verizon period.
Now they are smarter and you are on the hook for the whole amount essentially, as you pay tax on the full price up front, then they contribute a little bit each month. If you want to leave early or get a different phone, you have to pay off the remaining balance and give up your remaining credits.
It's a contract, as far as how cell phone contracts used to go, in everything but name. Some might say it's even worse than they used to be. I was fine with the 24 month but 36 month is silly. So much can happen in that time and risk of phone failure only goes up. It's like financing a car for 84 months which some people are doing now. You are getting more and more likely to have some major repair needed while still owing money, just makes no sense.

Globally, there are 250 million iPhones that are in use today that are > 4 years old. These are the folks who will decide whether the iPhone 15 is a hit or a flop. Will they upgrade now, or wait? Is it worth it to them to spend > $1,000 (or your eternal soul for future credits to your account) to get a better camera and a USB-C connector? Only time will tell. There are more reasons than usual to be concerned about this iPhone's potential. I've spelled them out in other threads only to be savaged by the Apple fanbois so I'll leave it at that.
I don't plan to switch carriers.
Current phone is 3 years old.
I usually follow a 3 or so year upgrade plan.
New phone is $1199.
I either pay $1199 + tax outright, or I can take advantage of their bill credits and pay $11/mo for 3 years ($396 + original tax), all at 0% interest.
I'll await your logic.
Always compare the 3 years of service that you are forced to pay to get discounted phone with other carriers. Total 3 year cost. Include the resale value of phone you turn in.
Verizon, ATT are very expensive when you get a discounted phone and get trapped in 3 year contract.
