ATT Promo on IPhone 18

1200.00 trade in on your current IPhone 14 or newer. Basically get the 18 free. What’s the catch?

You pay through overpriced service for the length of the contract. The phones are never free.

I’m already paying for the service

He's saying switch. I make plenty of money, still rocking mint mobile. I got 560 trade in from apple for my 18, so almost half off and I pay 30 dollars a month. It's t mobile but it's been fine.

Just not feasible for me. Bundled with ATT internet. Too much of a hassle

It is a hassle and if you have multiple lines the discount dries up pretty fast.
For me a single ATT cell with my ATT fiber gave no discount, so i dropped em. Everybody different.
**edit** Will say i sat my 18pro down tonight and it just randomly rebooted... not great confidence on a 2 day old phone.

3 year contract is the catch.

They had this offer for the S26U and got it. No regrets.

Apple just release an software update that addresses issues with the iPhone 18. If you haven't already I would look into that. I hope that it helps.

The catch for the full trade in is you have to switch to one of their "new phone plans". If you elect to keep your current plan your value for trade will be less of course.

There is no catch. If you're planning to stay with ATT for the next three years, it's a no-brainer. I had a 14 Pro that I traded in. Got an 18 Pro for free.
And for those saying that you are signing a new contract, you aren't. Basically, you're getting a prorated benefit per month. If you want to leave ATT within that three year period, you would simply owe the prorated balance that would be left.

While true, and will vary person to person, ATT keeps jacking up the prices on their “old” plans to the point that it’s not making sense for most people to hang onto them, at least in my opinion.

I have the $50 ATT plan and you only get $500 credit towards new phone
I usually keep phone for 4 years.

Pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered the 18 Max Pro. Actually lowered my monthly bill.

The amount the plans costs varies by the specifics of the account (number of lines, paperless discount, etc), but the Value plan does cap you at $500. If you bump to the Extra plan, your max trade in goes up to $930. Which amusingly would save you money (assuming you were planning to upgrade the phone anyway), as you're paying $360 more over three years for the plan but saving an extra $430 on the phone, netting you $90.
With all of that said, definitely double check your account to see if you're leaving anything on the table. With four lines and the paperless/autodraft discount, a Value plan would only cost me $30/mo. I could bypass Extra ($40/mo) and go all the way to Premium before I hit $50/mo, and which is eligible for the full $1,200 upgrade value.
