2 year equipment contract.
0% interest so why not ?
And I got $350 monthly bill credits against the new phone so paying $15 / month....
No one would give me $350 for my old iPhone 7.
For me, another 2 years with T mobile is a no brainer after 5 years with them.
I love them for International travel - works just about everywhere on the globe without having to change SIMs....
I cancelled my AT&T Next Up order (30 Month Installment +$5/mo fee) due to the cloudiness of trading in at 12 months next year. Apple is still offering the AT&T Next Every Year Plan for 24 installments. I just place a new order with Apple.com for Pick Up in store on Sept 20 with AT&T Next Every Year.
This is what is posted in the FAQs on AT&T.com on the new Next Up Plan webpage.
The AT&T Next® and AT&T Next Every Year® Plans are being discontinued and are available only from select non-AT&T dealers for only a limited time.
You can trade in and upgrade your smartphone pursuant to the existing AT&T Next® and AT&T Next Every Year® trade-in terms. When you trade in your smartphone, you will have a choice between the AT&T Installment Plan and the AT&T Installment Plan with Next Up unless the AT&T Next® or AT&T Next Every Plan® is offered by a non-AT&T dealer.

Ordered My Midnight Green Iphone Pro..But I ordered the Max clear case, hopefully I can swap it out at the store. Went back to try an order the pro case, and it was already on 2-3 week backorder..Ordered for in store pick up..SUPER EASY...almost too easy
Just checked my banking app and the $1,449 hold has been placed on my card.
You can still do 24 months with some of AT&T's partners, but AT&T direct channels (Corporate stores, online, telesales) are only 30 months, or 30 months w/ 15 month upgrade.
I just checked and I have an initial transaction on my Apple Card for 54.08, which is my monthly IUP payment. Nothing yet on the other order but thats not IUP.
Overslept by 40 minutes and everything on the 11 Pro was backed up by 1-3 weeks for shipping, looks like I’ll have to go to the store to pick it up. Hopefully traffic isn’t too terrible
I agree paying no interest is a good thing rather than having the bucks around and paid all at once. I can budget monthly payment and have money for other things from my saved funds.
Don't have any cash back cards. I didn't qualify for Apple Card, and not wanting more....Since my Apple Pay is via debit card maybe that was problem, but looking on web site it has the card I used and one that the preapproval process used. Not sure what problem was this morning a mystery anyway back on the original date I got September 27-October 1.
Hoping so, too. I’m in the same boat. I checked AT&T’s site and they’re still quoting a 9/20 delivery but also state immediately below that that delivery dates are not guaranteed. I was itching for a split-second to cancel with Apple and switch to AT&T, but I tried that years ago with the gold 5 or 5S, maybe, and it ended up being a sh*tshow of epic proportions with my upgrade eligibility disappearing and reappearing and delivery dates slipping. I think I finally ended up having to wake up nightly to check the inventory crawlers and then drove about 3 hours away to find one in-store in October sometime. Arrrgggggh. I’d have thought for sure that the green would be the quickest one to go, not run of the mill silver!
One of my IUP phones wouldn't let me pick up in store. Frustrating thing is that the first IUP phone I ordered allowed for pickup. So now I'm going to the store to pick up one and then waiting at the office for the mail to arrive lol. Not complaining cuz it could definitely be worse. Just odd. ♂️
Same thing happened to a bunch of us. Hoping the dates will slip back in line as the dust settles and we’ll still end up with 9/20 dates.
Yes, but ordering through AT&T is actually a much poorer deal than ordering through Apple and using AT&T financing.
When buying on AT&T’s website you are forced into their “revised” installment program. 30 Month installment agreement plus the $5/mo Next Up charge. That’s why the payments appear lower — however the installment contract is 6 months longer than if you do it through Apple! And you cannot upgrade until 15 payments (and pay the $5/mo fee).
AT&T has agreed (for now) that orders through Apple for a limited time can still finance on the (now discontinued) AT&T Next Every Year plan. So 24 month zero interest financing with no $5/mo fee and you can still upgrade after 12 months with a trade in.
It literally makes zero sense to finance directly through AT&T vs. finance through AT&T on the Apple site. I’m surprised more people and websites are not reporting on this.
Haha. I completely forgot. My wife texted me a minute ago and was like when is your delivery? Oops. Happy Friday the 13th and like true fall in the south I’ll get mine around October 1st-4th. iPhone 11 Pro Max Green 256GB.
I have my confirm and pick up time. Currently on the apple store site it is showing order on hold. I assume that's just until its filled
I got screwed too..Same phone as yours. Seems like the green ones get shipped first. Guess it's better than going to the store on opening day and fighting the crowds.
