iPhone 7 deal - Verizon

Post by hoppyjr » Fri Sep 09, 2016 9:35 pm

Just some information for those of you who would like to upgrade to the new iPhone 7, but don't want to shell out $600-800 for the device;

Right now, you can purchase the new iPhone on the no-interest Verizon "device payment plan" - basically 24 monthly payments. On the iPhone 7 128gb version this amounts to $31.04 per month.

Now the good part: of you trade in your iPhone 6 or 6s, you'll receive a $650 CREDIT, also disbursed in 24 equal monthly payments of $27 per month. This credit helps offset the new device payment, leaving you about $4 per month out of pocket (about $100 over two years). You can't beat that deal.

If you have an older iPhone 5, 5s, or the iPhone SE you'll get $400, also over 24 months (about $16 per month).

Being the geek I am, I upgraded several lines tonight. :)

I hope this helps some of you do the same.

Hmmm, what if I am still making payments on a 6s? I am assuming the phone has to be paid off.

Interesting. I didn't realize the older phone would give $650 credit. Last I checked, it was $300...

I don't understand all the payment plan thing. I mean- do you pay more for it in the long run ?

I currently have ATT and no device plan, so I would have to pay regular price for one

Many of the "payment plans" now are 0 finance charge. They just want you to buy more devices (if it's Apple selling) or buy service with them (if carrier selling).

Yes what Wu said. Last year when I bought my 6s on payments I just divided the full price by 24 months and it was the exact price Verizon is charging me per month.

Oh gotcha

Honestly, I'm not a huge tech fan. We both have 5S, I do want the 6S.

Go into "my account" online, select the line to upgrade, then choose the version of the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus you want. Add to cart. In the cart, look at the lower right of screen and go to "trade in device". Follow the prompts and you'll see it computes a $650 credit (again, over 24 months).

In Washington State I only paid a $20 upgrade fee today. In California you'll also pay sales tax of about $60, depending on model.

I believe AT&T is running a similar promotion, but it's on the iPhone 7 only. For those on Verizon it's a no-brainier to go for the 7.

$400 seems like a lot of credit for a 5. I may look into this.

It is. If you switch to Verizon there is no activation fee (right now) when starting new lines of service.

But of course they took away the headphone jack.

Just like a few years ago I bought an iMac. Never owned an apple computer... They said "this new version doesn't have a CD drive, you don't need it anyway."
So 2 weeks later I spent $70 on an external CD drive for my text books.

Better option. I was wondering if they could use that port for headphones

As much as I dislike earbud wires the new wireless ones will be very easy to misplace.
only accurate watches are interesting

So do I. Finding a high quality aftermarket pair is going to be pricey. I've read of $300-$400 ones coming.

A Lightning Dock has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Will upgrade once the lightning-aux jack cables come out. Need to be able to stream podcasts and Spotify through my old car stereo.

Really stupid to drop the jack. Why would I want headphones that don't plug into the entertainment center of an airplane?

The future dude. My moto Z was the first to drop the 3.5mm. It allows for thinner devices and usbc ports allow for greater expandability, speeds, charge rates etc as I understand. I know apple uses their weird lightning port instead of USB c so not sure there . I've not missed the jack a single bit. I keep the adapter plugged into my Shure in ears all the time so it's no different than before really.
