Many of the carrier promotions are the same across the board this year, as they have been in years past, but there are a few exclusives from each company as well. The common discount this year is up to $1,000 off the iPhone 14 when trading in at each carrier, and AT&T is no different. You’ll need an eligible trade-in and to buy the iPhone 14 on an installment plan to get this deal.
Specifically, if you trade in a smartphone with a value of $230 or higher, you’ll get up to $1,000 in bill credits. If you trade in a smartphone with a value of $130-$229, you’ll get up to $800 in bill credits. Lastly, if your trade in is valued between $35-$129, you’ll get up to $350 in bill credits.
This is compatible with the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Other stipulations apply as well: in addition to purchasing a qualifying installment agreement, and paying taxes on the full retail price of the iPhone up front, you’ll have to pay a $35 activation/upgrade fee.
Verizon
Similarly, Verizon is offering up to $1,000 off iPhone 14 models when you trade in your old smartphone on select Unlimited plans. You can even get an additional $200 credited to your account when you switch to Verizon.

Additionally, if you join Visible and transfer your number from an eligible carrier within 30 days of transaction, you can get a $200 virtual gift card. Anyone with a Visible plan can also add an Apple Watch to their line for $5 per month.

T-Mobile customers can expect to get up to $1,000 off any iPhone 14 series smartphone when trading in an eligible device. This offer requires new or existing customers to be on the Magenta MAX, Business Unlimited Advanced, Ultimate, or Ultimate+ for iPhone plans.
There are a few other offers as well, including half off the iPhone 14 Pro (or up to $500 off any iPhone 14 device) when trading in an eligible device on most T-Mobile plans. This offer is for any customer not on the aforementioned four cellular plans.
If you need to buy two iPhone 14s, T-Mobile is also planning a BOGO deal where you can buy one iPhone 14 family device and get a second one for up to $700 off. This is also available on most T-Mobile plans and will require you to add a second line on an existing plan.
For Apple Watch users, if you buy an Apple Watch you’ll get $200 off a second model when adding a new watch line on your plan.

Cursed £3billion Navy aircraft carrier breaks down HOURS after its launch
A CURSED £3billion aircraft carrier broke down hours after its launch.
HMS Prince of Wales was waved off by thousands from Portsmouth on a three-month exercise with the US Navy.
But the 65,000-tonne Nato flagship conked out ten miles off the south coast on Saturday — with a faulty propeller shaft.
Last night the carrier was anchored in Stokes Bay off the Isle of Wight — but Rear Admiral Steve Moorhouse said it would be “moving to a more sheltered anchorage for further inspection”.
He added: “It’s likely the fault will require repairs, which may impact the ship’s programme. Rest assured, the Royal Navy continues to deliver operations and to keep the UK safe.”
The 1,000ft vessel, the Navy’s biggest, relies on electricity produced by diesel engines and gas turbines to turn 33-tonne propellers. An aerial photo had shown it with a wake trail from just one of its two propellers.

A Navy source told The Sun: “It’s an embarrassment.”
It comes after The Sun revealed the ship’s commanding officer, Capt
Steve Higham, was suspended over claims he invited lone female sailors into his quarters for “mentoring”.
It has also been hit by flooding.
