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
Heads up, it’s showing the right price now. It says 12.98 but it means $2.98 plus the monthly $10 Next Up plan fee.
But are the next up offers exclusive to the AT&T website specifically or can we do it on the Apple website? It’s my first time with the next up $10 program and the Apple website just focuses on the trade in with the regular price.
Do you mean Apple Store pickup? You choose the Next financing and terms when you preorder tomorrow, and your account is validated. They will remind you that you have to send your phone back to AT&T. AT&T will email you a return label (or they should- I have had to call the last 2 years) and you ship back your phone within 14 days. I have been on Next Up the last 2 years and they applied my $500 credit (over 36 months) to my line after calling. Hoping the Next Up anytime credit application is more seamless.
YAY!!

You can now get fully ready for preorder in the Apple Store App. It checks and confirms your AT&T information, puts in your payment method, etc. All you have to do tomorrow is check out.
It tells me to go through ATT because I used ATT to purchase the Next Up Anytime with an iPhone 16 max. Then it says something about coming back (it's a bit convoluted). Maybe others will chime in.
It’s 33% paid off, going through apple’s motion I clicked no trade in, no Apple care, etc, signed up for AT&T financing and agreed to pay for the taxes separately. Then the carrier settings prompted me about the current iPhone “trade” in condition and told me they would require it back. The customer agreement made no mention of the 11$ (41$ for the 1tb) monthly price for the current iPhone trade in as seen on the website.
I have always done yearly upgrades on AT&T thru Apple and I have gotten the same deals and promos as those done directly thru AT&T. The last 2 (or 3) cycles, I had Next Up which required you to have your phone paid up 50% and trade in to upgrade. That early upgrade also came with a $500 credit (over 36 months). When I upgraded thru Apple, the first year, the credit didn't automatically apply. I called and they added it. The second year, it was automatically applied. Since the T&C on Apple say that your phone needs to be traded in, I don't see why the $1,100 promo won't apply.
Huh, interesting, now that I know about the promotion I never realized I have been overpaying for my phone, I always upgraded yearly or 50% next up when they had it, thanks, I’ll see if I can get credited to my account, thanks!
Maybe, but it's the top Next-Up so there's that, and also it works at the ATT site, just not getting it at the Apple site (yet). I'll figure it out. Thanks! (if it it all worked smoothly, i'd get suspicious, so i'm good)
