iMore iPhone forums are dead because 1) there’s not really much to talk about with iPhone since iPhones only come out once a year and 2) people don’t have many problems with iPhones.

It's just amazing people here just support this and don't care. It's a goddamn ripoff and borderline theft, that's what it is. They literally take your phone and give you payments over 36 months instead of immediately, and if you upgrade your phone, you lose out on its value. They literally...

At least Samsung.com gives out trade-in credits RIGHT AWAY instead of the asinine 36 months that Verizon is doing. I'm going back to T-Mobile. Eff Verizon.

1. My iPhone is 100% paid for - full retail price. 2. I trade it in to Verizon to upgrade a phone for a quote of $800, I no longer have the phone. 3. I upgrade to a new phone. 4. Verizon will use that iPhone to sell as refurb 5. I no longer have that phone. 6. Verizon will give me the...

So? That's the agreed upon amount. I can't believe you all are defending this BS. If I give them my device, I no longer have it and I expect to have the agreed-upon value for it.

That's your argument? If I give them my device, I should get that credit right away, no questions asked. It's been paid for. They're going to turn around and sell it as "like new" for more money anyways. Bootlicking for corps is annoying.

The initial trade-in value for the iPhone 14 Pro Max when the phones first went up for preorder was $720. Now Samsung has upped it to $800. I may trade in my iPhone for the S23 Ultra now. BTW, I hope people start suing Verizon and carriers because giving you your trade-in credits over a period...

Not sure why that's dangerous. Just pay attention before sticking things into holes. You can easily see where the sim ejection tool goes into the phone.

Seems like, based on reviews all over, the battery life upgrades would be worth the upgrade alone.

No wonder they're offering free storage upgrades for a preorder bonus.

Samsung is willing to give me $720 for my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Pass.

Why would you use an S23 Ultra as a backup phone when you have many great phones in the list you could use for backups?

No. They will give you back that $800 in the form of 36 monthly bill credits. I asked at the Verizon store today. Even though you give them your device that you paid for, they give you back that $800 over a 36-month lease period, which is totally BS.

Was thinking about trading in my iPhone 14 Pro Max for the S23 Ultra, but since I'm so invested in Apple and I have the Apple Watch Ultra plus all the MagSafe accessories, it wouldn't make financial sense to switch. So I'll have to pass.

Tech21 Evo Max. It has a camera slider to cover the camera and it has a drop rating of 20 feet.
