- gpm 6y agoOk, I have $699 in a US bank account. Tell me how to exchange $699 for an iPhone 12 Mini? My understanding from the article is I cannot, I would have to exchange $729 (with Apple), or something along the lines of $30 with one of those carriers and $699 with Apple for a total of approximately $729...

- gpm 6y agoAnd... I can go through the checkout process without giving "extra" money to AT&T and get a function Iphone 12 mini?
