Apple iPhone Xs 5.8" Smartphone BOGO Offers & More at Verizon

Update: Preorders start today and most carriers have some sort of promotion going on. Here are the main ones to know about:

Forced applause...In non-bargain news today, Apple just announced three new models of the iPhone: the 5.8" iPhone Xs ($999), 6.5" iPhone Xs Max ($1099) and a "budget" model, the 6.1" iPhone Xr ($749). You can pre-order the Xs models on Friday (9/14), and the Xr will be available for preorder on 10/19.

The Xs models have a "Super Retina" edge-to-edge display, improved A12 Bionic chip, and some pretty cool upgrades to the camera: Smart HDR, and what got me, the ability to adjust depth of field after taking a photo. Basically, the CPU upgrade is adding cool new features to the camera, but the actual tech of the camera hasn't really changed much from last years' models.

The Xs Max has the biggest iPhone display ever, but will be about the same physical size as the 8 Plus.

Both the Xs and Xs Max are available with up to 512GB storage (double the biggest size for last years' iPhones).

The aluminum Xr comes in 6 different colors and has a "liquid retina" LCD display. Single camera, though it will be getting portrait mode. 

Other announcements include the Series 4 Apple Watch now with a built-in electrical heart sensor that can give you an ECG(!).

Are there any Verizon customers disgusted by the $30 activation fee. I’m going to have to evaluate my relationship with Verizon over this kind of greed.

Ohhhhh.... I see this bargain posting is using the misleading scam picture that Apple released to make it look like there isn't a notch in the top of the screen... Caveat emptor

I had been an ATT customer for awhile. I am sure Verizon customer service will have something similar. After getting the phone, I go home and call customer service. I "complain" nicely to the rep that on the way home, I was a little peeved that I still have to pay for activation even though I was a loyal customer. Be nice is the key. Don't get angry, just vent a little frustration. They usually will credit your account for the activation fee. If you work for a mid-large size company or belong to a club like AAA, there might be other incentives they can add to your account. I always call and be extremely nice to the person on the phone and I usually get a decent compromise.

There is the new Dual Sim feature of the iPhone XS which may be pretty helpful to some.

Late-breaking deal that might interest folks is Xfinity Mobile (basically a cheap MVNO for Xfinity cable customers only). They're offering a $300 rebate with an iPhone XS or Max purchase (via incredibly slow prepaid card) attached to only a 90-day commitment to their service.

I don't understand the math. How could that be a BOGO deal if the company is only offering $700 off on the second device? the Xs model is at least $999 per device. Who is going to pay for the difference of $299 + tax? Am I wrong?
