I would assume only if AT&T Next is not selected, would you be on the hook for the remaking bill credits. AT&T Next would negate the credits since the point is to pay off 50% to trade in on a new device.
I was thinking the same exact thing. Out of all the pre-order years I’ve done this was the SMOOTHEST. No site crash, ordered and secured earlier than 8am. Something about it was too good to be true lmao 👀
Ordered 13 Pro Max 256 Sierra Blue through Business Premeir at 4PM CST time. Still have delivery for 9/24! I guess demand is lower or ATT reserves launch day phones for the business customers.
Weird, only 1 tine have I had this happen, when I bought 2 XS‘s for my Mom & Sister, 1 went on bill, other came out of checking, idk if it’s a thing with you having to be a well established & good credit with them, mine went on the bill $128.
It’s pretty simply actually….
If you do the trade in with credits they divide the credits by the same term as the payment plan. You get 36 of them and will get all 36 as long as you have not paid off the phone.
Last year and this year I took advantage of the deal. I go on eBay and buy something like a galaxy s10 for $150. Order the iPhone and then trade in the S10. I send back by previous iPhone as part of the AT&T Next program.
I only get the credits for the 12mo since I move on to the next phone but for the 2nd year in a row, the latest and greatest costs me $150.
Good catch. Just checked my installment plan on a device and noticed that my line now shows the 13 PM.
Mine is showing up exactly like yours. Figure they’re getting around to updating things on their end.
Logged into att app on my phone at 7am CST, ordered a 512gb Pro Max in Sierra Blue! Received email confirmation within minutes. Will be here next Friday! Hats off to att this year! Super easy, no issues this year when ordering! Trading in a 256gb 11 Pro Max to get the 1,000 trade in!
Question, I got my iPhone a bit late last year (iPhone 12 Pro Max) . I am on the AT&T Next plan and it states I have 166.50 to go before I can trade in. In the event a local AT&T store has iPhone 13 Pro MAX in stock, would I pay the 166.50 at the time ,turn in my iPhone 12 Pro Max and be able to pickup the iPhone 13 Pro Max extending the AT&T Next?

Yes, that would be due when you order or buy the new phone in store. I had to pay the same amount to upgrade. We were all late last year since the phone didn’t launch until late October.
You will get a 500.00 credit spread over 36 months toward the new iphone 13 pro max as well if your on a unlimited plan . I was paying 45 for my pro max 12 256gb which included the 5.00 next up fee .. my new 13 pro max 256gb is 1199-500=699/36= 19.41 a month in bill credits. add in the att next up fee of 5.00 it’s 24.41 a month instead of 45 for the newest iPhone. You will have to pay 50% of the phone in order to upgrade to the 14 next year as well. Hopefully they have more credit promotions next year as well .

Is the 36 month period new for this upgrade period? I think late time I upgraded it listed 30 payments with upgrade eligible after half the amount or payments were made.
