$500 for other plans.
You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.
Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ☹️

Does Costco have iPhones in stock in person or you need to have it shipped?

So if I do this at Costco, I'm paying probably $900 after tax for a new Iphone 16 and then getting back about $35 a month for 2 years? Am I reading this deal correctly?

I don't think you pay up front for the device at Costco anymore. They ship you the phone and do the 24 bill credits

I run a TMO and a Canadian eSIM in my phone. If I upgrade using this EIP, does it mean my phone will be locked for 2 years and I will not be able to use my Canadian eSIM?

I understand that this is a "Valentines Day" promo but any past history on how long these promos run? My kiddos are coming due for upgrades and I'd really like to wait to get them something similar to the SE (which rumor has it will be announced next week).

Yes correct. SIM and eSIM are locked to T-Mobile only for 24 months.

Correct. The phone stays locked until its paid off 2 years later. - Not sure if Apple has the same promo, if they do, then you can buy there and have an unlocked version with Tmo financing.

I have TMO Essentials plan with 4 lines (one is free). Pay around $120/month or so, i think?

I would like to get decently priced phone upgrades (trade-ins are fine) every so often without having to keep up with various deals. Thoughts on whether its worth it to upgrade to Magenta Max?
