All of these deals are trash if you only have a single line. I’m much better off keeping my $30/month AT&T prepaid plan and buying the phone outright.

The best thing about iPhone 12 is that it’s finally beard friendly.

These deals are always for new customers. Do any of these carriers want to retain current customers???
if you're on verizon there is no way you would switch to AT&T. hence no need to have retention specials

I'm in the same boat. Single line on Verizon. The perks with the unlimited 5G plan are more of a ball and chain than perks. I guess the carriers are continuing with the confusion so customers can't really compare the value of what their offering with their other plans and other carriers' plans.

The Big Cellular deals are usually a huge rip-off and wind up costing you a lot more. I've been with T-Mobile for 9 years. All they offered me in trade-in for my iPhone XR toward a 12 Pro was $196! I politely told them where they could shove that so-called deal...

I’ve been grandfathered into an AT&T plan from seven years ago. The costs of these unlimited plans is nuts. $60/each device? Yikes. Either I wait till I get a promotion or just buy an iPhone 12 to use without 5G.
