This is the first year that Comcast isn't offering any device discount unless I add a line...bummer...
Same here. Xfinity Mobile has provided some of the best discounts every year when I'd pay off my iPhone and upgrade to a new one. This year, squat. I was able to get 256GB White Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max with delivery on 9/22.

Xfinity is offering the same discounts whether you add a new line or upgrade an existing line. At least this is what I'm seeing.

With no trade in, it's $400 off for a new line, but no discount to upgrade an existing line. In the past they offered the discount either way. Here is the comparison:

They did offer a very good trade in this year. I got $700 for my 12 pro. That’s much more than Apple would give.

Thinking about trading in our iPhone 11 Pro Max phones for the 15 Pro Max. Xfinity Mobile is offering me $700 per phone trade-in which seems to be a lot better deal than selling on eBay. It looks like they're only letting you do one line or at least one line per order. When I try to upgrade both of our lines at the same time, it asks to remove the 'replacement device' from the cart. Also, they want you to pay the taxes and first month up front so that hurts the deal a little bit. $184.33 per phone up front for the 512GB 15 Pro Max. Still tempting though!

They’ll still prorate the $700 over 24 months. For an 11 Pro, that trade sounds tasty. And everyone makes you pay full taxes on the full price of the replacement device.

I was under the impression that you need to have fully paid of the phone, before Xfinity will unlock it. Does Xfinity really unlock in 60 days even if you are still paying off the phone in installments?
No. They won’t unlock until it’s paid off. The 60 days was assumed it was already paid off. I usually unlock mine as soon as they are paid off.

That's what I thought and if one chooses to pay it off early, you lose the rest of your trade in credits as well. So, for anyone that wants to get the phone unlocked within 24 months, this is very likely a not so great deal.
