T-Mobile is giving away the iPhone 17 for free — here's how to get yours
SAVE OVER $829: Score a free iPhone 17 from T-Mobile when signing up for a 24-month plan of an Experience plan and add an eligible line. No trade in is necessary to score this free iPhone 17 deal.
If you're an Apple iPhone fan and you've been running with an older model, it's probably time to upgrade. Since Apple just announced the new iPhone 17, there's hope on the horizon that you'll soon be able to score the newest model. Doing so with T-Mobile means you could be in for a totally free iPhone by following a bit of fine print.
Beginning on Sept. 12 at 5 a.m. PT, T-Mobile is offering a free iPhone 17 to customers who sign up for 24 months on an Experience plan and add a new line. Maybe best of all, you don't need to trade in your old phone to be eligible for the free iPhone 17.
You can also get a free iPhone 17 Pro when signing up for the Experience Beyond plan and trading in an eligible phone in any condition.
Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry explained the new Apple iPhone 17 comes with some much-anticipated upgrades. For starters, the camera got a big-time glow-up and a much improved refresh rate. "While some annual iPhone upgrades feel very incremental, this year's batch of new iPhones does feel like it has a little more juice than usual," wrote Perry. "Part of that is the new design, as Apple has reimagined the rear camera bump as a wider, more horizontal camera island (dubbed "the plateau" in Apple speak)."
In terms of colors, we're not mad about the options available for the iPhone 17 since we have lavender, sage, blue mist, white, and black to choose from. If your favorite color is burnt orange, you'll want to go with the fancier iPhone 17 Pro.
T-Mobile mentions the free iPhone 17 comes for those who go with an Experience plan with the carrier which includes the Experience More and Experience Beyond options. The Experience More plan is the more affordable option, starting at $85 per month for a single line. It comes with some perks like Apple TV+, Netflix, and 60GB of mobile hotspot data.
To snag the free iPhone 17 Pro, you'll need to trade in an eligible phone in any condition and sign on for two years of service on the Experience Beyond plan which starts at $100 per month for one line.
Instead of paying full price for the new iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro, snag it for free at T-Mobile by going with an Experience plan from the carrier.
