My wife's iPhone 8+ is ******** the bed and giving us all sorts of issues. My wife and I are both relegated to working form home bc of the virus pandemic. She is getting text messages from friends or work colleges that are coming in hours or even days later, undelivered text mesages to individuals and groups, as well as calls that drop or cut out constantly all while my calls and texts ( on my iPhone X ) are fine.

Based on all this, I figured its time for a new phone. We are looking at the new iPhone Pro or Pro Max, but i don't even know where to begin looking for deals. I remember in years past that carriers used to subsidize deals on new phones pretty heavily, but everything now seems to require trade ins or upgrading your plans. At the end of it all, its not that much of at deal, if any.

Are any of you finding good deals out there from carriers that are half way decent? We are both upgrade eligible from ATT, but again, the deals are a joke and require trade ins or adding lines and so on....

Thanks !!
