Did you know that Apple just bumped up the price of iPads and Macs? Have you heard of RAMageddon? Are you aware that smartphones are next to get price hikes? We’re sorry to break this to you, but prices are on the rise across the board.
But you know what’s bucking the trend? T-Mobile’s selection of iPhone offers that include free deals.
T-Mobile has dropped a fresh batch of free iPhone deals in July 2026:
-
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).
It’s important to note that T-Mobile isn’t handing you a new iPhone without some strings attached. 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. Translation: 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 the 24-month contract comes to an end, 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.
