After cancelling my original order with Apple (Oct 17th) and a second one with T-Mobile, I just scored an iPhone 14 Pro Max GOLD 256GB for launch day pickup 🙂 Stock changes almost with the minute so you have to be patient and be fast as stock don't last more than 2 or 3 mins. It took me around 1 hour of refreshing until one like the one I got was available.

Do any of you know if Best Buy chargers taxes on the full price of the iPhone like T-mobile or do they tax you for the cost of the phone minus the trade-in cost? I got $700 trade-in for my Pro 13 - 128gb from BB and $600 from Apple so I'm trying to figure out if the BB trade-in is actually a better deal.

Best Buy’s tax was based off cost minus trade in so my tax was around $23.

I was able to get an in store pickup order through Apple. The $1,000 trade-in promo is more appealing (for me) when done through Apple vs T-Mobile directly.
How did you get in store pickup? I tried ordering through the apple.com Website and I'm getting "Store Pickup Unavailable"

There just so happened to be a new opening at my local store with the color/storage that I wanted. You can check periodically to see if a new opening becomes available near you. There’s also a better chance after the phones are released on the 16th.
 
Just got charged. I have every confidence I’ll get my phone launch day. I always do. And it’s yet exciting to see that charge come through. Especially after the hell that was TMo Friday morning. 🙁

Oh, ok. Thanks! In the past, I ordered two or three months after launch.
 
I ordered mine on 9/9 through the app. Clean purchase since I didn't have a trade-in.
Finalized the pre-order and got confirmation at 7:56 am.
iPhone 14 Pro - Space Black - 128GB.
The T-mobile app as of right now says "Your order is being processed".
No Charge as of yet.

How does the Apple T-Mobile trade in work?

Im on Magenta Max and have a 13 Pro Max

If I want to do the trade in and upgrade to a 14 Pro Max, Apple gives me $705 instant credit and T-Mobile gives me $295 in promotion credits over 24 months (for a total $1000 off)

At the end page, it says I will be paying $4.13 a month for 24 months (makes sense because its a $1100 phone).

This $4.13 a month going to be on my T-Mobile bill right? And if I decided to upgrade next year, I can just pay off the remaining balance on T-Mobile and I would still receive the remaining promotion credits right? Because thats how it works on T-Mobile phone right now, I had a iPhone 12 Mini with 3 months left of EIP + a Promotion, and I just paid off the EIP and the Promotion credits are going to continue for the remaining 3 months. Im wondering if its the same with Apple

Any help would be great. Thanks

Yes, it’ll be exactly the way you described. When buying through Apple and financing with T-Mobile, it’ll show up on your T-Mobile bill. It’ll be like any other T-Mobile financed phone with the exception of how your trade-in credit is applied. Pay off early and your credits will continue.
