I’ll be upgrading to the 16 PM white titanium. Will trade in or sell my current 15PM
 
Looks like $1k off for 14 or newer if on the Unlimited Ultimate plan.

I was worried the trade-in offers would be restricted to the new (aka crappier) plans and it appears that was the case.
That sucks
 
So I’m on the old 5g “do more” plan, what trade in amount would it be for that one?

Yeah this is dumb. Trade-in prices should not be dependent upon having their newest versions of the unlimited plans they keep changing (and making more expensive).

I am paying $44/month and would have to increase that to $52/month, plus I’d lose free Apple Music which is another $10/month (same for all 4 lines) just to get the trade-in promo… which is then spread out over 3 whole years.

Yeah… hard pass.

Yeah, I'm on the old iPhone plan that is ~$50 month, this new one is $65/mo. per line, plus now Apple One Family is $15/mo. vs. free, so it looks like a net increase of at least $45 a month. I'm better off with Apple's trade-in offers...
 
Verizon is diabolical for making you do a 36 month term for phones. I’m on the 14PM and won’t get a discount if I get the 16PM despite having the 14PM for two years.
Yea that sucks. The massive trade is what is letting me upgrade. 36 months? Ridiculous

The new plan is $8 more a month on my current line but I lose free Apple Music. So $18 more per month to sign the 3 year deal. Some of my other lines would require $24 more per month to qualify for the trade promotion
 
Does anyone know what are the exact trade in offers for Unlimited Ultimate, Plus and Welcome? I'm on Plus right now but would move up or down a plan depending on the amount of trade in offered.

Verizon hasn’t said anything yet other than what’s on Apple and it’s Ultimate only. Most likely it will stay Ultimate but they will post watch deals or something

Are there any trade in offers if keeping an old plan? If so what are the best?
Not sure but Apple’s store is only showing Unlimited Ultimate and Unlimited Plus, which is really dumb. $1,000 for Ultimate, $820 for Plus. But spread out over 3 years which is absurd. Any older plan… who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yup I am hoping bestbuy has something, not changing my plan and 36 months is crazy

It's been like this for a couple years now, maybe three. We somehow went from yearly carrier subsidies, to two year carrier subsidies, to no carrier subsidies, now to three year carrier subsidies. And of course the plans never got any cheaper along the way.
