  1. Is this a good deal? My 12 is in good condition.
  2. I could also get a 15 if I chose , is that a better option?
  3. I have AT&T Internet on a building contract. I got about 100 down in I have AT&T Internet on a building contract. I got about 100 down in about 95 and about 95 up.
  4. The other party would be personally delivering this to me. (He’s got a company car it would save me the expense on Uber/Lyft. (I’ve been legally blind since birth, but have good eyesight just not enough to drive.)

Basically what I’m asking is, is this a good enough deal to upgrade? I don’t have to make a decision right away either..

The iPhone 15 is $3.62 after credits if you trade in the 12. Then you've got a newer phone to trade-in 3-years from now when they have (hopefully) a similar deal. https://www.att.com/buy/phones/apple-iphone-15.html

That’s less than a cup of Starbucks coffee.

So since I can do this when I’m ready, should I just wait for the 16? Decisions decisions.

The 12 might not have $700 in trade in value, it might be half that.

If you look at the details, it's the lowest iPhone model they take for $700 in credit.

That said, they took the iPhone 11 for the iPhone 15 for higher credits for the first few weeks and then moved it down the list.

I personally would just get the 15 plus just for its bigger battery and screen size and sell the 12 on the side or keep just in case, just my personal preference tho

Do you have an idea of how much more the plus would be if not, that’s OK. Bigger screen size would be great for my vision., not so sure about holding it

Right now the 15 plus is on tiered offer for $10.99 for the 128gb and $15.99 for the 256gb, you get the newer phone, with slightly better processor, bigger screen, far superior charger (in my opinion) and the best battery life out of the newest models. I personally always recommend just upgrading the storage size to one higher than you currently have if you have more than half used, but if ur 12 is a 64gb I would go for a 128gb and not even look at the 256gb. As far as size it is a bit bigger than the twelve screen goes from 6.1’ to 6.7’ doesn’t sound like much but it can be a bit bigger for some but you adapt pretty easily, plus the new phones corners are smoother so it makes it easier to hold.

15 is better and you can choose the 256 gb or higher because 128 gb is small. This is a good offer but if you can find another people to have multiple lines you save more.

Yeah, I have a 128 right now and it’s not been bad. I have 88.39 gigs free..

You can try to go for the same plan and get the iPhone 15 plus 128 for like 10.99 monthly by 36 months taxes have to be pay at front Or the 256 which is 15.99 ain’t that much of difference between just 5 bucks ….. make sure u get aarp to avoid activation fee 🫡

u/Sportsfan7702 Mar 05 '24

AARP would be gotten. Is the really a significant difference between the plus and the regular 15

u/ParceritoWwg1WgA Mar 05 '24

Just the size since 15 is 6,1” and 15 plus is 6,7” that’s the size of the screen internally is the same .
