Here we go. Orders are in and now the waiting game begins.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Silver 1TB
Order placed 6:56 AM CST
Estimated Delivery Date 9/19
 
I placed an order already through Apple but am deciding about cancelling and taking advantage of that $1100 credit. Even if I prorate the credit over two years which is generally how long I keep a device, its still more than i'd get selling my 15 Pro Max.

The carrier credits are usually prorated over 3 years so if you trade in after 2 years, you won't get the full $1100.

I get that but I feel like I am leaving a lot on the table here though buying it outright. On average, I am only seeing about ~$550 for selling my 15 PM. To your point though, going this route basically locks you in for 3 years if you want the full credit. I guess pick your poison....
 
I used my AT&T Next Up. When I chose the device it was $44.xx. On the confirmation screen it showed it was giving me a credit of $14 for I was only going to pay $31.xx for the 1TB.
 
The order process was so easy this year. I had my cart prepared yesterday and hopped on this morning 8 minutes before the hour and was able to complete order. Traded in my 16 Pro Max by paying off the $38 I still owed, and got the $1100 credit for a new Orange 17 Pro Max, 9/19 delivery. I’m ridiculously excited for the Orange, just in time for Halloween. LOL

Activation fee was waived.

Mine was too, I assumed it was because I’m a AARP member but I wonder if it is waived for everyone.

Everything went pretty smooth except my saved cart wouldn’t load. But it was no problem to do a new order. Checked out at 4:55am.

How did you get that fee wavied? i did not get that, but I was not part of the Next Up program.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you are in AARP.

I’m not an AARP member, however, every year when the upgrade fee hits my bill, I chat in and they remove it.

I used to do that too, before AARP. They always said it was one time only, but they always did it when I asked.
 
Hi again, everyone! Now the wait.

Silver PM 512gb- ordered 7:01 am
Silver PM 256gb- ordered 6:58 am
Blue PM 256gb- ordered 7:06 am
17 Blue Mist 256gb- ordered 7:04 am
 
I wasn’t planning on ordering this year…. But 2 17pro max’s Comsic Orange ordered about 7:30am CST for 9/19 pick up.
 
My order got cancelled twice. ATT does not know why... currently on the phone to resolve. Not a happy customer today since I preordered right at 7am and originally had a 9.19 delivery!
