I wouldn't recommend buying a new iPhone from a computer store you do business with. I'd recommend buying directly from Apple using the Apple Store app or going to an Apple Store. You can sign up to get the Apple Card which results in a 3% discount on the iPhone and it is unlocked and you can pay interest free over 24 months. They also let you trade in an existing iPhone. I'd also caution against believing everything you read on this list because a lot of misinformation is posted.

Any thoughts about that? I wouldn't have to pay Verizon anymore than I already do by doing it that way.

And yes, you can use the same passcode on your new phone.

My question is that I have a passcode on both my phone, iPad and apple watch. Is there anything I need to do regarding that before trading my phone with TMobile and can I use the same passcode on my new phone, watch and iPad?
