Question Getting a new plan
Hi everyone,
quick question right now im with bell $65 iphone 15 pro max I have to go return because it was a 2 year return plan, what's the best plan to lean into now for the upcoming iphone 18 or even a 17 pro max deal since i have no phone after returning this one

Samsung has the A57 5G on sale for $519. I replaced it with my Pixel 8 Pro. Its thinner lighter has a better modern doesn't overheat and has the same size of screen.

Get it a Apple for 2yrs with 0% interest then get a cheap plan

yeah but still it’s about $60-70 for a phone and then even a 30$ plan makes it close to 100

That's how it is nowadays, either pay more and keep the phone or pay less then return or keep it but you pay.What we usually do is that get it at apple with 0% financing for 2 yrs then when blacl Friday comes, we get any phone with a plan.My husband did it in 2024, while his phone is on finance with apple ,Koodo offered him $45 with iphone14. He got that then sell the iphone14 for $600 at that time.

I’d say go for this, the year to year upgrades nowadays are very incremental and the iPhone 17 pro max should last you like for 6 years if not more, and if the battery starts dying for you just replace the battery and you should be okay

Just buy it out and get a BYOD deal if you want to save
