If I had the 11 Pro Max, I more than likely would’ve kept it for another year, but the Intel modem in this XS Max is trash, and the battery life sucks.

This will be a huge upgrade for you! Have u decided on the colors? silver or blue?
I’m not a long time Verizon customer but I switched to Verizon from T-Mobile almost 2 months ago. When I picked up my Verizon device, I used the number I chose with Verizon for 2 days. I then called customer service since I wanted to port in my old number before the 7 days was up since I opened a new account with Verizon. The process took about 15 minutes and within 2 hours I was using the old number on Verizon. I had to give Verizon my pin code and account number from T-Mobile.
I remember you from the T-Mobile 7 Plus thread. I switched to VZW when the iPhone X came out. T-Mobile wanted $500 down. VZW wanted $60 lol.
I’m going with Silver. I don’t like the shade of blue that’s going around now. 19 months is the longest I’ve ever kept an iPhone so this definitely will be a big upgrade for me. I need that Qualcomm modem back in my iPhone.
I remember you as well from the 7 Plus T-Mobile thread. T-Mobile charged too much for their down payments. For the 11 Pro Max they wanted $450 down so I said I would sit out upgrading and wait for the 12 Pro Max. I switched to Verizon back in August this year and immediately noticed a big difference in coverage. I’m mad I didn’t switch sooner.
I’ve never been without service. Little more expensive but you get what you pay for. Just hoping this 12 Pro Max is good. I thing wrong with my XS Max but I’m itching for an upgrade
<shrug> More irrelevant camera features, 5G that doesn't matter yet... forced into iOS 14... unless there's some wonderfully spiffy feature that's still a secret, it's hard to get excited about it.
People have forgotten that Apple bought Intel's modem IP so that they could tell Qualcomm to take a flying leap. It's gonna happen, get used to it. The only question is when.
The XS Max in my area was horrible. I deliver mail so some neighborhoods my service would drop to 1 bar or the No Service would pop up. It happened more so in buildings and bad neighborhoods. I don’t mind paying extra for better service. I’ve had every major carrier except AT&T.
I put down $750 for the X and ended up paying it off 3 months later. My monthly payment was less than $6.
For anyone wondering how to watch today’s Apple event:
*Navigate to www.apple.com/apple-events/ using a web browser at the appropriate time to watch. You can visit the site now to add an event reminder to your calendar.
*Apple also plans to stream the event live on YouTube, which is perhaps the easiest and most efficient way to watch because the YouTube livestream can be viewed on every platform where YouTube is available, which is pretty much all platforms, from smartphones and tablets to consoles and smart TVs.
* Apple used to have a dedicated Apple Events app on the Apple TV, but ahead of WWDC in June, it folded into the Apple TV app. On event day, there will be a prominent Apple TV app section dedicated to the livestream, which can be watched on any device where the Apple TV app is available.

I plan on getting a blue 12 Pro Max 128GB directly from Verizon. I've gone with the 256GB option since the X but 128GB should get me through the next year. I wanted to order a SIM free through Apple to avoid the upgrade fee Verizon charges but I have $65 in device dollars that I want to use.
Thank you for creating this thread! Very excited as always!

I can’t wait to start accumulating device dollars for the next device I upgrade. After looking through my Apple count I realized I have $50 I can put towards my 12 Pro Max. I have the XS Max in 256GB and only used 67.2GB. I’ll be buying the 256GB version in case I shoot more videos this year that’ll take up a lot of space. I’ll just continue adding $25 to my account until I reach the amount for a year of payments for my iCloud account.
It's a nice perk of being with Verizon. From reading your other posts it sounds like you are really enjoying Verizon after switching from T-Mobile which is good to hear. I've been with them since March 2017 and haven't had any issues with them since.
I currently have an 11 Pro Max with 256GB and I'm currently using 91GB. Around half of that is pictures and videos as I like to store the full resolution versions on my phone even though all my pictures and videos get backed up to iCloud. I definitely won't fill up all 128GB in the next year.
Yes it’s like night and day compared to T-Mobile. I still use T-Mobile Tuesday with my daughter’s account. I love Verizon and only paying a few dollars more than T-Mobile. I also get a discount on accessories through my job.
I have my phone in my hand and my iPad on Apple Tv. Sitting outside relaxing. 😁Less than 5 minutes to go!!!!

I’m watching it on my AppleTV on my 55 inch smart tv, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, while my oldest is doing her last class virtually for the day.
I’ve always wanted a HomePod but they are too expensive for me so I settled on Amazon devices to work with my Ring camera and security system.
I’m watching now and going “I don’t care about the HomePod! Cut to the chase and talk about the new iPhones!”. lol 🤪
