Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

Bought mine at the Apple store in Leawood KS last Saturday. $904.44 total including taxes. Got a clear case at BB for $10. Had an extra Zagg shield for my 15 Pro that fit the 16 screen perfectly. 16 feels lighter in the hand than my 15 Pro did.

Also, RCS works on my 16, whereas it never worked right on the 15 Pro.

The Pro models don't have the $30 difference between the carrier and carrier-free models.

Additionally there is a loophole in the requirement to select one of the big 4 carriers if you buy it with Apple Card Monthly Installments (24 zero-interest payments). I selected T-Mobile at checkout, the fine print with T-Mobile requirements said simply "no obligation" and it did not ask for any type of verification that I actually had a T-Mobile account, so when I got the phone, I activated it on my US Mobile esim instead.

This does not work on the non-Pro models, you have to provide existing account info to check out with Apple Card Monthly Installments.
