Trade-in iPhone 14 Pro Max with Spectrum and Apple Card

I am looking to trade in my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I did the same operation exactly two years ago, and I was able to trade my iPhone directly at the Apple store, i financed it with the Apple card and paid montlhy. I selected no carrier as I'm with Spectrum but it looks like this option is not available anymore. Is that correct?

Even with no carrier? Online, it asks me to choose a carrier if I want to finance it through my Apple credit card. Or do you suggest I go in store?

If you finance the phone, you need to choose a carrier at the time of order. As long as you are not using carrier financing, however, I'm almost 100% positive the phone will still be unlocked and you can choose another carrier after you receive the phone. BUT......you should contact Apple to confirm.
