Apple's $1,199 iPhone 18 Pro Is Free If Your Old Phone Still Turns On
Gizmodo • • technology
Key Points:
- T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 18 Pro for $0 upfront through monthly bill credits up to $1,200 on an Experience Beyond plan, covering the full retail price of the 256GB model.
- Customers can trade in an eligible phone in any condition, including damaged or non-functional devices, to qualify for the offer, unlike Apple's trade-in program which requires good working order.
- The iPhone 18 Pro features significant upgrades including a mechanical aperture on the 48MP main lens for true optical depth control, a 2nm A20 Pro chip with 40% faster GPU, enhanced cooling, and improved battery life comparable to the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
- Monthly credits are spread over up to 36 months and require the line to remain active and in good standing; early payoff or account cancellation stops credits and incurs the remaining balance.
- Additional costs include tax on the pre-credit price and a $35 device connection fee, with credit qualification required and a maximum of four discounted devices per account.
