picked up my 2 orders and traded in the 2 16e's. They ran diagnostics on each device and took a picture of the front and back of the devices being traded in. Years ago, they would just do a visual inspection but now it's running the diagnostic.


Quick process. I wish I had more financing credit. I will try to do another one today since it pretty much took $620 off right away since I traded those 16e's

I was able to order a 17 with a 13 to trade in.
the value of the trade in being discounted right away is helping with the financing limits
On Wednesday I had called Tmobile to see how much financing credit I had left.
The lady did a mock order for an air and pro max and said it was eligible. I told her to try one more air but the limit hit and it didn't let her.

so now with apple, it took off $310, $310 and now $195= $815 in automatic credit
at least that's how I think it works with financing limits

The best is to bring into the store if nearby. You can set this up during the order on apple online. they will ask if you mail it in or bring to the store. You can either transfer your data in the store or if it is a separate device that you are trading in then update it to the latest iOS before and factory reset and then you'll be in and out within 15 minutes. They take pictures and run a diagnostics check and email you have a receipt and are done right away. Promo shows up properly on T-Mobile within 24-72h after pickup/trade-in.
exactly how you described. I even received a text from Tmobile a few hours after I picked up my new device

Going through Apple it actually let me proceed with $0/month but I was trying to save the $35 Activation fee
did you place your order yet?
I did 3 orders so far, air, 17 pro max and 17
What's good about Apple is that it appears the value of the trade device helps offset financing credit. I have a free line on go5g plus...I wonder if it will let me do an upgrade on it after the change. I wonder if it's just certain accounts that have this restriction.

I'm grandfathered in on the Adantage Club premium plus $35/mo plan and I've always just hit up T-Force on X/Twitter and gotten a new iPhone every 2 years with a $1000 trade in credit. Love it! Never changing!

Currently have one line on Tmobile for $17.00/mth +taxes & fees. Unlimited talk/text/data - won't be giving that up for anything. Have other lines on AT&T that currently on contract for another 6 months. Hopefully there will be deals around Christmas.

Geandfathered on the ONE plan with the whole family and then some. Probably not worth it to lose that sweet $35/mo price.

Is there a way to check how much credit you have? And if its not enough, don't they just make you do a down payment?

I had to call and the rep did a mock order to see if it would require a down payment or not. Yea, if you don't have enough financing credit you can put a down payment. I'm trying to avoid that. Prefer to just pay the taxes and activation. I would've gone with Costco to avoid the $35 connection fee per device but I like that Apple removed the credit value from the purchase. So the air was $1,000 but they gave me $310 for a 16e so I only used $690 of my financing vs $1,000By doing it this way, I was able to get a 3rd device with no down payment.
