Excuse the old man question, but if I buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max outright, with no carrier. I can set it up with my current carrier easily? (literature.cafe)

Buying one through Apple online at the moment, but it’s roughly $1300 with taxes. So I have myself a little nervous at the cost. Thanks in advance for answering. 👍

They'll usually let you bring you own hardware. As long as you buy one that is not carrier locked it will work (if you're buying it in a store, ask the staff to be sure it's unlocked)

If your old SIM card doesn't fit you might have to ask your carrier to send a new one, or you can ask for eSIM setup (log into your carrier account, scan a Qr code)
