Okay, so I am suppose to get $830 discount on the iPhone 15 Pro max. It shows that I am getting $26.88 off my bill for 24 months, but then at the bottom right it shows $23.12 monthly. Does that mean I won't have to pay anything?

I know the difference from the iphone to $830 is give or take $200 bucks, but I am confused as to what this website is trying to show me.

Is there any way I can just pay off the remainer after the $830 credit?

My goal is to take my samsung galaxy phone and upgrade to a iphone 15 pro max and pay the remaining amount so the monthly bill doesn't go up. (multiple people pay for it, its just easier to get it over with then get it placed on the bill every month).

Can anyone help me with this? What can I do?

Edit: I'm a dang idiot! The apple store advertises $200 on the trade in page, but on the buy-an-iphone page, when you step through it, it does actually specify $185 as the trade-in value. So maybe I did get the full value after all? Weird.

Sorry if I'm being captain obvious and stating something everyone already knew, but I am posting this in case anyone searches this question in the future.

I traded in an iPhone 13 that had a couple scratches on the frame and a good amount of scratching around the edges of the front screen. Some of those scratches were deep enough to catch a fingernail. Apple advertises a max trade-in value of $200 for iPhone 13s and ultimately their program assessed mine as being worth $185. The EIP contract for my 17 pro max showed up as $1199 with a down payment of $185. (and thus, $42.25 in monthly payments).

I then received a promotion enrollment message in my account activity stating I'd get $25.63 in monthly credits, which puts me at $16.62, exactly what the apple store quoted. (A total of $398.88). That puts me at $800 in 'promotional credit', as promised.

Since I'm in california, the tax was $122.90. That is actually as expected. I have seen many people say that if you trade in at apple, you're only charged tax on the difference, but in CA you will get charged tax on the full amount. (just like when you buy a car).

So yeah! I hope that info helps someone! :)

I’m on a grandfather plan and was looking to upgrade my old iPhone for the 17. Was told by by T-Mobile I can trade any iPhone damaged or not for $830 without changing my plan. It’s not advertised they call it in house targeted upgrade. Anyone have experience with this? Sounds fishy

Below is T-Mobile's trade-in promo for the iPhone 17 models. This is the direct T-Mobile promo, separate from Apple's carrier financing deal.
