What are the pros and cons of ordering an iPhone (w/ trade in) from Apple vs. T-Mobile... price is the same ($1 more at TM). I'm already on tm on a qualifying plan. Gonna order one, but curious what if any diff ordering from apple vs. tm.

Ok, I figured out one small diff. Assuming you're trading in a phone and financing via carrier (tm), then:
- if buying from apple, you will get the trade-in value off the price immediately.
- if buying from tmobile, it appears you don't and you'll have that portion on your monthly bill, then when they receive your trade-in, they'll "credit you"... (I assume to your carrier bill)
