You Can Get an iPhone 17 Pro for $0 at T-Mobile — Here’s How

If you’re in the market for a new iPhone and willing to switch carriers, T-Mobile has an incredible deal that could score you an iPhone 17 Pro effectively free after trading in your old iPhone. It’s available for existing T-Mobile customers, too.

The iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099, a considerable step up from the $799 entry price for the iPhone 17. If you want Apple’s best iPhone with features like a heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure, up to 33 hours of battery life, an 8x optical zoom, 4K ProRes video recording, and a studio-quality four-mic array, this opportunity is worth exploring.

Switching cellular carriers is never easy. Oftentimes, you’re still on the hook for remaining device payments if you rolled the cost of your last phone into your monthly plan. You could also face early termination fees depending on your contract.

However, if your device is paid off and you’re on a no-contract plan or approaching the end of your contract, it’s in your best interest to shop around. Consider starting with this offer from T-Mobile if you’re willing to entertain a switch or are already an existing T-Mobile customer.

Here’s how it works. The iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099 for the 256 GB model, and T-Mobile is offering up $1,100 in trade-in value. If you’re trading any Pro model from the iPhone 13 Pro or newer, or any iPhone 16 model, in any condition, you qualify for the full $1,100. New customers will receive this $1,100 via 24 monthly bill credits. You’ll be required to undergo a credit check and pay the sales tax on the full price up front, plus a $35 connection charge.

Customers opting to take advantage of this promotion will be required to sign up for T-Mobile’s top-tier cellular plan, Experience Beyond. It starts at $100/month (plus taxes and fees) for one line. Experience Beyond includes unlimited data, T-Mobile’s innovative T-Satellite service, and a five-year price guarantee, plus streaming subscriptions to Netflix, Apple TV, and Hulu. Extra lines for your Apple Watch or iPad are only $5 per month. Existing T-Mobile customers on the Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plans also qualify.

If you don’t have a Pro model iPhone, or it’s earlier than the iPhone 13 Pro, don’t worry. T-Mobile also offers competitive trade-in rates for older-generation iPhones. Shoppers with an iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 or 13 mini, or iPhone 14 or 14 Plus will receive $830. For most earlier iPhones, T-Mobile is offering $550. For comparison, Apple is offering a $250 credit for trading in an iPhone 13 Pro toward a new purchase. Verizon is offering only $830 for the same iPhone 13 Pro in a similar deal.

The iPhone 17 is shaping up to be a huge success for Apple. If you’ve been wanting to upgrade, make sure to shop carrier deals. While not everyone needs an iPhone 17 Pro, trade-in values — whether through Apple or carriers — are significantly higher this year. If you’re willing to play the long game, you’ll likely recoup much of the cost difference down the road.
