2006... YEAR OF THE BURNITZ, BITCHES

Duckman2008 posted:

Ok, so I think I have enough info and it’s all posted online where I can confirm Verizon promos.


For both new and upgrade:
if you are on a premium unlimited plan:
iPhone XR or newer: $800 trade in

iPhone X or older: $400 trade in

If you are any other unlimited plan (except the cheap welcome one):
iPhone XR or newer: $400 trade in

iPhone X or older: $200 trade in


For new customers: some of the Pro models (probably the 11 pro, 12 pro and 13 pro) are getting a bump of $1000 instead of $800, but I think that is new lines only.


All discounts are, of course, over 36 months. Verizon unlocks phones after 60 days use, so for the majority of the time the phones are unlocked.


If it’s a 6 or 6S as the trade In not sure if it’ll get a trade in.

I preordered a Pro Max this morning and they offered $800 for our old XS - even with paying full retail price for the phone (so credits won't get tagged to DPP, showing up separately on bill) - I'm not gonna get boned for this am I?

Any idea when we will see some like gaming benchmarks?

My biggest gripe is the thermal throttling that happens on the 13 pro max. Like I get it but I’m hoping the 14 might be better?

I think typically the review embargo ends on like Tuesday before release day, so sometime next week we'll probably get hands-on reviews with whatever benchmarks could be provided there, and then otherwise, uh, once the phones are actually out in people's hands.

Doublepostin but drat, Best Buy looks like they'd give me $700 for my 13 Pro, coming up enough short of last year's $900 that it's probably not worth it. Womp womp.

I ordered a 14 Pro because I couldn't resist enough stuff to make it worth it. One query though, I have a few of these chargers and similar that I really like. I know they don't tend to update old listings and the information says that the 13 etc won't work with the magnetic aspect which I don't care about, but will this charge my 14 Pro in the same way it does my XR at least?

Yeah, no problem. I've never gotten any new chargers since I got my X (well, I got a MagSafe I keep in my bedroom, but most are old generic Qi chargers) and they all continue to charge things. Newer ones will get you faster charging, but 5W is enough to keep it topped off during the day or charging overnight no problem.

You'll probably want to port your number out to https://www.numberbarn.com/ and bring it back in. As all the phones support dual sims you can bring it back in as new.

Perfect, that's pretty much exactly how I use them. They just sit those cradles while I sleep and while I work. Thanks!

Verizon gave me $400 for my OnePlus 6T from years ago towards a Pro Max upgrade on an existing line. It sells right now on Amazon for under $200 so this was great.

Seems like an easy way to get a beefy storage phone if you wanted to only spend the price of a 128 or just save $400 after initially spending $200.

is there any way to know in advance or something when more phones will be available to order for pickup at a store?

Seems like there were supply issues this year. I've been upgrading through the IUP for the past several years, and after going through the pre-approval process it's been dead-simple to get the new phone on launch day. This year, the checkout process through the app was as smooth as ever (though it took a few extra minutes to get the store to load). However, I picked shipping over in-store pickup and didn't realize until my confirmation email my shipping estimate is 9/28-10/3. In-store pickups were already sold-out by the time I realized ~20 min later.

The last few years, I distinctly remember launch day delivery was still available for most models well into the day, and even still available the next day for some SKUs. This year, most SKUs were sold out within the hour.

i'm on a family plan with my parents and i only recently took over the account (i was paying for my phone but sending money to my mom) so i'm still trying to verify with my mom that she has some kind of discount from the old days.. so I don't wanna muck anything up by risking ATT reneging on some grandfather deal by doing this..

Posting from my new 13 mini, these big phone lovers don’t know what they’re missing. I’m upgrading from a 2020 SE that I’m passing along to my kiddo so no big difference in size or weight but the bigger screen and better camera should be nice upgrades.

I think it just means you have to be on a qualifying unlimited plan to get the highest trade in values.

e: I see your latest post. It definitely has to be one of their newest unlimited plans. I doubt you'd get the higher values on one of the older grandfathered plans, but I'm not entirely sure. Just a guess, because ATT likes to dangle the carrot in front of everyone on those old plans.

Oh I would've had one next week too but I kept waffling between a sport band or the silver Milanese loop. Ended up going with the blue sport band on the silver aluminum watch.

Except now it comes late September, early October while the phone is next week. Ah well.

I’m pretty sure they did away with the term Golden “Master” and are calling it Release Candidate instead. So the RC = GM I think.

But yeah, once you install the RC you can delete it.

I had an issue where Siri just didn’t loving work at all when I upgraded to the RC yesterday. I had to do a restore to 15.6.1, then setup asked me if I wanted to continue to use the beta and upgraded it for me. Never seen that before. Siri works again after that. Super weird.

I had planned on doing a complete fresh install with 16 since I have some weird issues that carry forward with my backup from like the 3GS days, but once I started typing out what apps I had installed, and realized I’d have to set up all my google contact and calendar syncing (I have a bunch of subscription calendars) again, plus all my work stuff, I quickly said gently caress that. I’d also be losing all 99 seasons of Retro Bowl I’ve played since I think that’s just stored locally.

Nah there needs to be one fun/silly option. I know Apple wouldn't go for an iMac-color-like electric purple but was really hoping for at least something coming from the white side like lavender or lilac instead of black adjacent "deep purple".

Oh well, at least there's always cases like this:

Can I ask earnestly, any 13 Pro users here putting in for a 14 Pro ?

Need the rationalization before I proceed plz

I am , but I’m an edge case because I work in phones.


The irony is my stupid company literally does not allow it’s employees to buy the new iPhone until inventory is decently available for regular customers.

So I literally can’t buy the 14 Pro until probably sometime in November.
