Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably heard all about the new iPhone 17 Pro. Preorders are live today, but like all of Apple’s phones, the phone comes at a hefty cost — starting at $1,099. To lessen the strain on your wallet, and to try to persuade you onto its team, T-Mobile is offering a free iPhone 17 Pro when you trade in your old phone in any condition.
The only catch is that you must have the Experience Beyond plan. When you sign up for the plan, T-Mobile will give you the iPhone 17 Pro and issue bill credits over 24 months. Please note that a $35 connection fee is required.
The iPhone 17 Pro is jam-packed with features. There’s a new cosmic orange color, but that’s only the beginning. This phone has a speedy A19 Pro processor and an upgraded 8x optical zoom camera. Plus, its iOS 26 software has a fresh Liquid Glass design. Perhaps most exciting is that the phone has Apple’s largest iPhone battery yet.
T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond plan is $105 per month for one line. But if you sign up for autopay, T-Mobile will reduce the cost by $5 for a final cost of $100. The plan has a five-year price guarantee, so there won’t be any unexpected price increases during that time. With Experience Beyond, you get satellite services, unlimited talk, texts, premium data and hotspot, Netflix, Apple TV Plus and Hulu streaming services for free and in-flight Wi-Fi and texting. Plus, you also get unlimited texts and up to 30GB of data in over 200 countries. And now, this plan also includes an iPhone 17 Pro.
