Don’t see where it says, not considered a trade in or not eligible for trade in credits if available.
Yeah I was told I would get trade in credits but I would need to have the device for 12 or 13 months.

Other consideration, they can always change eligible plans which may not be a good deal or what want. All carriers do that pretty much too when want you off an old plan.
I was looking at the Next Up Anytime plan, considering it for a couple of people on my plan. I'm on the IUP plan myself.
I'm normally very good at math, but am getting old so fewer brain cells active. My main concern was the credits. To get a 16 Pro Max on the Next Up Anytime plan, you have to trade in a phone still, right? And you get up to $1000 in credits over 3 years like usual. So, next year, to get the 17 Pro Max (or whatever it happens to be), you have to have made 12 or 13 payments, plus trade in the 16 Pro Max, & would still get a $1000 credit (assuming everything else stays the same)?

Can someone explain why you would want to upgrade 3 times in one year?
Ok so just left the AT&T store. Purchased the IPhone 16 Pro Max 512 GB. Had to pay $233 to pay off half of my 15 Pro Max. I can confirm that I did receive the $500 in bill credits spread out over $36 months so $13.89 a month off the bill, so from $38.89-13.89 I’ll be paying $25 a month $8 less than I was before. If I would have went with the 256GB it would have been right under $20 a month. The Rep also explained that next year after I’ve made 12 or 13 payments he wasn’t for sure I would qualify for what ever promotion they have then, so if it’s the $1000 off I would get that with the NextUp Anytime. Thanks for all the info y’all learning about the $500 off made the purchase more palatable for me.
So in Total I’ve paid 752 in payments and tax on my 15 Pro Max, and I’m getting back $500 so a loss of $252 which isn’t bad on a year old iPhone. Next year if they still have the $1000 promotion it will be a killer deal.
My only other option would have been to sell my phone on eBay for about 725 and after shipping and fees I probably would have been left with 630 at best and still owe $860 to AT&T so -$230.
Side Note, Desert Titanium was still available to ship for launch. All others had a modest wait time.
This is what I understand from earlier threads. Super exited not to have to pay to get to 50% paid off this year plus get the credits.Bumping an old thread but are you able to simply trade in your 16 pro max, get the ~$1K credits and run this back again - all for $120/yr ($10 ATT next up anytime fee). Seems like a no brainer for those wanting to upgrade every year? What am I missing
seems too good to be true! basically just $10/mo with these trade ins…This is what I understand from earlier threads. Super exited not to have to pay to get to 50% paid off this year plus get the credits.
Awesome thanks for clarifying. Looks like i’m switching over!You can do an early upgrade before you are 33% paid off but you won’t be able to get the promo. But if you are close to the 33% you can pay the difference and get the promo.

I checked by trying to upgrade and it said I had to pay $34.20 to upgrade and get any promotion. Can’t wait.
I went through the early upgrade process online, turning in my 16 PM for a 17 PM and no promotion was applied
I looks like the trade-in offers aren’t live yet for the iPhone 17
It shouldn’t be live at all yet. There definitely is a promotion coming it is $1100 off.![]()
Yeah I saw this too this morning but like the PP said, I just don't think the promos are fully live yet or else it will be ridiculous.I understand the 17 isn’t live for preorders. I’m just saying when you start the upgrade process the 17’s do not show any promo offers yet like the 16’s
