I Phone XR

[BowhunterNJ]

I also got mine through Verizon and compared to going with the Apple Store directly.  Verizon worked out to $40 cheaper with their BOGO deal.  Without that the Apple Store was way cheaper.

Was told if bought at an apple store you get apple care .

so takes 10 bucks a month off bill for insurance , as apple covers the phone

Yes you can get apple care to cover the phone.  Also by getting it at the apple store you aren't tied to any provider like Verizon or ATT.  I was told  ATT also locks your phone when bought through them so you can't change it to Verizon or Sprint later.

I upgraded to the iPhone XR a few months ago.  Apple gave me $150 trade in for my I6.   The battery life is easily double of my 6. Love the facial recognition feature.

When I bought this latest phone I found out some info that maybe you guys know but, I didnt. The Verizon store I got the phone at is a pretty new store. The girl that worked in there was telling me that the policy at that store is the price they have listed for each phone includes all the stuff the phone comes with plus a car charger, a vehicle mount of your choice and a case, including Otter boxes of your choice. I thought that was pretty cool considering the Verizon store I went to the day before offered none of this and the price was the same. I asked her why they offered this and the other store didn’t. It’s because the other store was a Verizon corporate store and hers was a private Verizon store. Her store also offered free setup and the other one didn’t. And one more thing was her store offered a warranty for $6 a month that 100% covered the phone against breakage including if it gets wet, is lost or stolen. The service at this store was the best I’ve gotten since I’ve had a cell phone. Oh, and it was on a college campus and we were the only ones in the place the whole time we were there. Was in and out in a half hour flat and that included her explaining the features of about 5 phones. Extremely knowledgeable girl.

You can get AppleCare on any Apple product regardless of where it is purchased.  It normally costs extra money for the coverage.  Phones start at $99 and computers can be as expensive as $249.

Timely topic for me since I was planning to upgrade my 6s to the Xr soon.  I believe it is also waterproof to a certain depth?  I will still put it in a Lifeproof case just in case.

To much technology in these phones any more and the prices are nuts. But we all have them. I would love a phone with better battery life but I don't care for iPhone that much. I have a iPhone for work.
