Maximize Savings: Best Trade-In Deals for iPhone 16 Pro Max

00:00 Intro

In this video, the host discusses the best trade-in deals for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple claims you can receive up to $11,000 off, but the best savings come from trading in your old phone. After analyzing offers from Apple and various carriers, it's clear that trading in with carriers like Boost Mobile provides the highest credit. The host breaks down trade-in values and highlights that Boost Mobile offers $1,000 off without a trade-in, along with significant trade-in values for old devices. However, there are catches to these deals, such as being tied to expensive plans and delayed credits.

01:30 Carrier Deals vs. Unlocked Options

The video emphasizes the importance of considering unlocked options versus carrier deals. Trading in to Apple and purchasing an unlocked iPhone 16 Pro Max allows flexibility with cheaper plans, like Visible's $25 unlimited plan. The host notes that prepaid plans can offer significant savings, especially when comparing long-term costs with carrier deals. Boost Mobile's promotion of a free year of service with a full-price iPhone purchase emerges as a standout offer, providing an unlocked phone and potential savings.

03:20 Family Plans and Multi-line Discounts

For families, the host examines the best options for two to five lines. Boost Mobile consistently remains the most affordable choice, especially for two and three lines. However, AT&T's deals become the cheapest option for five lines due to their multi-line discounts. The video stresses the importance of considering coverage and costs when choosing a plan, encouraging viewers to use a coverage map application to evaluate carrier options in their area.
