T-Mobile is giving away the Apple iPhone 17 for free — heres how to claim
TL;DR: The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro are free right now with T-Mobile. Here’s how to qualify for this limited-time offer.
All we seem to hear about these days are price increases. Apple just bumped up the prices on its iPad and Mac lineups, RAM prices are about to rise nearly 50 percent, and smartphone price hikes are surely on the way.
So imagine our delight when we see that you can still score an Apple iPhone 17 for free with T-Mobile.
T-Mobile has dropped a fresh batch of free iPhone deals to beat the price increases:
Apple iPhone 17 — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro — free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in needed).
Of course, T-Mobile isn’t simply handing over these latest handsets as a favor. Instead, the retail cost of your new phone is offset by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits. Your monthly statement will show a standard charge for financing the phone, which is immediately balanced out by an equal credit to bring that charge to zero.
What’s happening here is you are signing up for a 24-month commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, switch to another carrier, or upgrade to the iPhone 18 before those 24 months are up, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone’s retail value will become due immediately.
You will also need to cover the standard upfront taxes and a one-time $35 activation fee. But that’s a small price to pay to lock in the iPhone 17 before Apple’s prices bump up again.
