Starting Friday, September 12, you’ll be able to preorder a brand new Apple iPhone 17 Pro at T-Mobile and score up to $1,100 off in trade-in credit when you sign up for a new line on the Experience Beyond plan with AutoPay. Depending on which phone you trade in, you may be able to fully pay off a new iPhone 17 Pro 256GB phone (MSRP $1,099.99).

Here are the trade-in values T-Mobile has currently listed on its site. Note that other phones may also be eligible, but if that’s the case, their values haven’t been advertised yet:

• iPhone 13 Pro – $1100 trade-in value
• iPhone 12 Pro – $830 trade-in value
• iPhone 6 – $550 trade-in value

The discount is applied in the form of 24 monthly bill credits. That means you will need to maintain your service for at least 2 years to get the maximum discount. The credits end if you terminate your contract early or you pay off your phone early. Note that there is also a $35 device connection charge and your account must remain in good standing.

The Experience Beyond plan costs $100 per month for a single line with AutoPay (plus taxes and fees). The plan gives you unlimited talk, text, and 5G premium data. Other perks include Netflix (Standard with ads), Apple TV+, and Hulu subscriptions, unlimited mobile hotspot, full-flight texting and Wi-Fi with streaming where available, phone upgrade eligibility every year, and a 5 year price guarantee. International travelers can also benefit from unlimited text and 30GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico and unlimited text and 15GB of high-speed data in over 215 other countries.

Get T-Mobile’s “Apple iPhone 17 On Us” with No Trade-in Required

For those of you who don’t plan on trading in your existing phone, you can still get an Apple iPhone 17 (MSRP $799.99) simply by switching over to T-Mobile from a competing service (AT&T, Verizon, Claro, UScellular, Xfinity, Spectrum, and Liberty PR) and signing up for a new line on an $85+/mo service with AutoPay. Similar to the iPhone 17 Pro trade-in promotion, the discount is paid out across 24 monthly bill credits. That means you will need to maintain your service for at least 2 years to get the maximum discount. A $35 device connection charge also applies.

The Experience More plan costs $85 per month for a single line with AutoPay (plus taxes and fees). Like the Experience Beyond plan, you get unlimited talk, text, and 5G premium data, but not as many extra perks. Benefits include Netflix (Standard with ads) and Apple TV+ subscriptions. 60GB of mobile hotspot, full-flight texting and Wi-Fi with streaming where available, phone upgrade eligibility every two years, and a 5 year price guarantee. You also get unlimited text and 15GB of high-speed data in Canada and Mexico and unlimited text and 5GB of high-speed data in other countries.

For a Third Option, Skip the Bill Credits and Buy the Phone Outright, Then Sign Up for the $25 Metro by T-Mobile Plan

You might think buying an iPhone outright isn’t really a deal, and technically you’d be correct, but there’s a good chance that you might actually be saving money in the long run. If you’re looking to purchase an iPhone 7 and don’t expect to replace it in a year or two, the Metro by T-Mobile BYOD plan might end up being the best choice for you.

The Metro by T-Mobile plan offers one line of unlimited talk, text, and 5G data for $30 for the first month and $25 per month afterwards with AutoPay. Taxes and fees are already included. You’re guaranteed this price for 5 years, although being a prepaid plan, you’re free to opt out at any time. In addition, you get perks like Scam Shield, which enables Caller ID and blocks or redirects spam calls, and T-Mobile Tuesdays, a program that gives you access to freebies and exclusive discounts every Tuesday. Note that speeds may slow if you go over a soft cap of greater than 35GB per month.

The Metro plan only costs $25 per month, compared to $85 for the Experience More plan and $100 for the Experience Beyond plan. That’s a difference of $60-$70 every month on your phone bill. If you hold onto your phone for 3 years, you’re saving $2,160 to $2,520 on your bill. That’s plenty of savings to afford your next iPhone upgrade down the line.

Note that some exclusions apply. See details at MetrobyT-Mobile.com.
