I’m on Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate and I’m planning on buying the iPhone Duo (512GB) through Verizon with the $10/month Flex Upgrade add-on.

Verizon offered $1,200 off the iPhone 18 pro’s so I’m guessing the Duo will have a similar trade in value. I’m trying to understand how Flex Upgrade works over multiple years.

Here’s my plan:
So I’ll trade my iPhone 15 Pro Max towards the iPhone Duo and receive the promotional discount.

I’ll Pay for Flex Upgrade at $10/month.

After about 12 months, I’ll then use Flex Upgrade and upgrade to the iPhone Duo 2.

Then I’ll repeat this with the Duo 2 when the Duo 3 comes out.

My questions!!!!

Can I receive the initial promotional trade-in credits with Flex Upgrade?

When I upgrade to the Duo 2, can I use my iPhone Duo as a trade-in for another promotional discount, or does Flex Upgrade only waive the remaining balance on my old phone?

Does being on Unlimited Ultimate make me eligible for another promotional trade-in offer when I upgrade?

If I can’t receive another promotional trade-in discount, can I still trade in the phone for market value separately?

Is there anyone that actually used Flex Upgrade this way and successfully received promotional credits on a their next phone?

I’m just trying to figure out whether this is a good long-term strategy for upgrading every year, or should I use Apple’s 12 month upgrade program.

I’m planning on financing the iPhone fold/ultra, I will be financing it with Verizon. My only worry is I won’t be able to use my Verizon and T-Mobile service. Is there a good way of bypassing this?

For context, I have an iPhone 15 pro max with the unlimited ultimate plan. For some reason I go to the promotions on the Samsung galaxy fold 8, I only have the option for 1100 off, why don’t I have the option for 1900? I have the highest plan.

I’m planning on buying an iPhone fold/Ultra when it comes out in September, and I’m stuck between two possibilities.

(CONTEXT) I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max (512GB) with Verizon Unlimited Ultimate and T-Mobile’s experience Beyond.

I’m looking at the 512 GB model which I am assuming will cost around $2,200. But Verizon will probably offer around $1,100 in promotional bill credits over 36 months. But then I’m locked to Verizon for 3 years until the device is fully paid off.

Or I could buy it through Apple, and use Apple Card financing and get around $380-450 for my device, but then it would be unlocked. But then I would end up spending more money on the device like 600-700 more.

What is nice about Apple’s card financing is it’s only for 2 years so let’s say the iPhone Fold/Ultra 2 or 3 is out by then I could upgrade.

I could do the Verizon deal and then I do have a T-Mobile hotspot with 200GB that I could use but then that means I would have to carry it in my backpack with me to work. (Because Verizon and the WiFi at my work suck!)

I’m just wondering what everyone else is thinking of doing if they are in a similar situation or if anyone has recommendations for me. It would be great and I’m super excited about getting this phone

I have the Unlimited Ultimate plan, with the Verizon 71.5.46, using IPhone 15 Pro Max
I don't have the option for Enhance 5G for apps and wondering if anyone else has it, I'm wondering if I need to provision my eSIM.

Every Instagram IPA I have tried after scrolling reels it starts slowing down after scrolling for some time. Tao the point it takes a lot of effort to scroll like I have to scroll in a deliberate way, and then the only way to fix it is back out of reels and click a random video on my feed then it fixes it.

I’ve tried Moe’s App Hub, IGFormat, and iOSGods and I think other sources have the same issue. Is Instagram punishing people who side load Instagram?

My problem is that in settings for call audio routing only allows you to pick one, to pick either speaker or bluetooth headset, I wish It didn't try to use speaker option while I am using my airpods. So I was wondering if there is a way to automate this?

I have a bunch of game apps, and sometimes I’m in a dead zone or have poor signal where to the point the app won’t open, is there any solution or anyone who works at iOSGods to add a every 30 day check in, like I’m using free iOSGods mods and it makes me mad when I can’t access apps like Block Blast, BitLife and it makes me annoyed and thrown off of using iOSGods.

Is there any similar app stores that let you use offline that are similar to iOSGods?

I have the 4090 Zephrus g16 and everytime I go into a game I usually in the high 90's, Do I need to replace the Liquid Metal with PTM7950?

I also notice when I use any mode in Ghelper my laptop sometime's stutters, like I'm using silent mode and then it randomly glitches/hitches the audio and video and does it for like a second, and it's doing this around 40-50C and my laptop not even warm.

I noticed that when you type in the prompt box, ChatGPT shows suggested prompts. Out of curiosity, I typed "chatgpt" and the suggestions are still asking about things in 2024, even though it's 2026, I'm guessing this feature gets used little to non to the point they haven't updated it to 2026 and still stuck on 2024.
