Carrier store or Apple store

The interest free payments are a benefit a lot of people pass up. Don’t. Setup Apple Card to auto pay the 12 or 24 payments. Interest free is, in effect, added cash back.

Yep, last year I bought my iPad Air and an Apple TV 4K with 12 month and 6 month interest-free payments. I'm pretty sure that you still get the 3% cash back up front.

In regards to repairs and service issues, I prefer the Genius Bar at our Local Apple Store!

Yes, I forgot that additional benefit. Cash back up front for interest free payments.

Agreed Doogald, the Apple Card 3%, the quick credit of the 3%, the instant trade in credit (I do trade in my devices), no interest payment offer, all done from the Apple Store app — for me it’s ideal.
Most recently Ipad Mini 6 was 12 months interest free and 150$ Trade in for my old Mini. 24 months interest free for Watch S8 with a 250$ credit on my S7. (I could get more secondary market but the ease of trade in is appealing for me).

Agreed.

I usually been getting my iPhones straight from my phone carrier with no problems at all. never thought of getting it at the apple store. wonder how different the process would be but im sure they will have more selection of iPhones at the apple store

I know I won’t get much for my XS Max, but I’m thinking of trading that in this year for the 14 Pro Max. I’m keeping my 12 Pro Max as a backup phone and will be making sure it have a new battery this fall.

Usually carrier store but sometimes Best Buy when they have awesome trade ins.
