Iphone 17, Pro Max
Options
Hello everyone,
My Daughters phone was pretty old and she said it was basically becoming useless how slow it works. So we went to the ATT store and see about getting a new one. She had a iPhone 11 128g which has severed her very well. But the new iPhone 17 was there in White so that is what I got her. The funny thing is they gave us $350 for the iPhone 11 trade in. It was in perfect shape as she always had a case and screen protector on it. Pretty nice score for that kind of money off.
She is tickled pink how fast the new phone is, the volume is a huge difference and the cameras are light years ahead of what was going on in the iPhone 11. Win win.
So as I was there, the salesman said I could get stupid money for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I told him my phone works perfectly, it's still fast as the day I got it, the battery lasts at least a full day or more and I have plenty of storage not to mention my phone as well has been in cases and screen protectors. But he hit me with $1100 and the new iPhone 17 Pro Max was like $1199. So for $100 bucks, I could upgrade into a brand new phone and away I go. I didn't think that would be a smart move not to take them up on that offer. So I did.
So for my upgrade, not as big of a deal. My new 17 doesn't honestly feel any faster than the 15 did. Everything loaded fast on the 15 as it does on the 17 so with the increase in speed, it's barely noticeable. I haven't done anything that showed me so.
I haven't taken any video or pictures yet, it has this camera button on the side but there is a camera button right on the Home Screen so unless I put another shortcut there , I don't see the camera button a benefit.
The Storage is where I made a change. I got all crazy years ago always wanting the most storage on the phone . My 15 had 512 and I still had like 400 left. So to save like $100 bucks with the upgrade, I went with the 256 and because so much is now stored in iCloud , I don't see any reason to sweat that at all.
So if you need a nee iPhone, now is the time to make the move, your old iPhone will bring in more money than you would expect. Hell $350 for a iPhone 11 is stupid good considering on the market it's worth $55.

And they locked you in for what? 36 months? Free phones are not free, they are subsidized by high price plans. Compare ATT's unlimited plans to something like the Cricket plan. You're paying an extra $350-400 per year over 3 years which is more than the cost of the phone buying directly from Apple with a trade-in.See profile for rigs. Nothing else here.

Agreed billbillw. But, AT&T did give us a couple of good trade-ins the last 2 years. I was paying $45/line unlimited anyway, and with adding my 16Plus and my wife's 17ProMax, our bill is currently $215.03 after fees/taxes/etc., that's for 4 phones. Where I live, AT&T has always been the most reliable carrier; I heard some horror stories about Cricket, TMobile, Optimum, etc. and we've been with AT&T for +/- 25 years. And really, the phones and plans are all write-offs to my business anyway, so it's not that big a deal.So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Yeah, my daughter just got a “free” phone that requires her to be on a more expensive plan for 36 months.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -
Much easier now days than a lump sum . An iPhone 17 TB pro max is around 2700 aussies.
I feel sorry for the younger generation regarding the futures prices on everything now days -

Me, too! They might have to go to work! 😳😂

Last time I got a new phone, my plan didn't change and since I've been a Sprint customer since 1996 and subsequently a T-Mobile customer by default now, they let me finance my phone on 0% interest and just tacked it on to my phone bill every month. I even got a credit for early pay off. No trade in necessary.
I have yet to trade in a phone. I still have my Nokia 5110, my BlackBerry Pearl, my HTC Touch Pro II, my Nexus 5, my Pixel 3a and I'd still have my Sanyo VI-2300 if it didn't get ganked at Clancy's 'cause some sleazebag thought it had Katie's number in it and didn't know the battery was only going to last 20 minutes without being on a charger.
You turn in your phone and all they do is resell it either through a refurber or in another country.Expert Moron Extraordinaire
