Carrier Yearly Upgrade w Verizon

[FootballIsLife]

I can trade in my old iphone with verison and get a new 17 Pro Max for $8 a month. But there is like a credit in there too of like $28 a month that makes that the price. I’m ok with that.

Can anyone tell me if I upgrade again next year, how much will I have to pay off on this phone or how it works.

Did you buy directly from Verizon or through Apple?

Verizon direct, you lose the remaining monthly credits so you'll need to pay off the full remaining balance on the device (so pretty much 2/3 of the price).

Via Apple: phone price - old phone trade-in value - monthly credits already received. If your old phone's trade-in value is not zero, then your payoff amount will be less than if you'd gone Verizon directly.

my phone I have is from Apple. Don’t remember if it was verizon deal or not but paid off. it is a 13 pro.
are you saying to get a 17 pro max from Apple because next year I will have to pay less to get an 18 pro max?

Yeah, if you get the 17 Pro Max from Apple (they offer the Verizon trade-in deal), then your payoff balance will be lower.
