As with all carrier deals, you&#8217;ll need to read the fine print before taking advantage of this offer. To get your hands on the fan-favorite iPhone 17, you&#8217;ll need to switch to or add a line on a qualifying plan. That means customers who sign on for 24 months of an Experience Beyond or Better Value plan qualify for this deal, and, best of all, no trade-in is required. Your savings will be delivered through bill credits across 24 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-speakableText-p2\">You&#8217;ll get 5G data, 4K streaming and international roaming. Plus, right now, T-Mobile is also offering you Apple TV for just $3 per month, an annual savings of $119. That part&#8217;s optional, though, so don&#8217;t fret if you&#8217;d rather skip the streaming service add-on. <\/p>\n<p>When Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, the standard model hit shelves at $799. Since it is still the latest and greatest generation of iPhones on the market, retail prices at the Apple store haven&#8217;t officially budged. Of course, you can find various discounts or used models out there for a bit less now, but paying full price for a brand-new one still requires parting with a good chunk of change &#8212; which is exactly why a freebie sounds so good right now.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still on the fence about whether you actually need the upgrade, here\u2019s a take from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/apple-iphone-17-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">tech expert Abrar Al-Heeti<\/a>, &#8220;The baseline iPhone is never really meant to turn heads when stacked against the rest of Apple&#8217;s lineup. But a handful of notable upgrades on the iPhone 17 make it a worthy contender if you&#8217;re in the market for a new device that ticks the basics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that with all of these deals, you&#8217;ll have to pay a $35 device connection charge and the device tax up front.
