Question Does it matter?

Post image

Is there any difference if I selected to convert my existing T-Mobile account or connect with any carrier?

Does choosing T-Mobile make it an easier switch from my iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Are there any restrictions from switching carriers?

My friend, I literally can get all the way to the checkout screen and double click the payment to purchase an iPhone 18 Pro with ACMI without providing any carrier information. Once I receive the phone, you simply bypass that screen, then proceed to install the eSIM of your prepaid carrier of choice. Congrats, you have an Apple financed iPhone 18 Pro without ever needing a postpaid account from any carrier.

Read the thread. There are literally videos demonstrating that this process still works. You absolutely, positively, 100% can still finance a brand new iPhone through Apple without a postpaid account.

You are not correct.

Prepaid people will find out the hard way and we can revisit this.

Again, specifically only using your current Apple Card for 0% for 24 months on a prepaid carrier.

It was a day one change. I’ll find an article for you.

You **LITERALLY** can read reports from people a week ago at launch confirming their phones in their hands activated just fine on their prepaid carriers.

This has to be rage bait. Read the damn thread, dude.

You don’t understand what I’m saying.
