The iPhone 16 Pro has Arrived, but T-Mobile’s Preorder Deal is Still Going Strong [CNET]

If you’ve got an old phone to part with, T-Mobile is offering both new and existing customers the brand-new Apple iPhone 16 Pro for free with this trade-in deal.

Apple’s new iPhones have fully arrived in stores, at carriers, and for millions, right on their doorstep thanks to their iPhone 16 preorders. Most preorder deals end the day a phone officially launches, but T-Mobile’s trade-in deal is still kicking and offering you one more chance to score the iPhone 16 Pro for free if you trade in an eligible device. 

You’ll receive a 128GB iPhone 16 Pro, which has a 6.3-inch display, iOS 18, Apple Intelligence and two new physical buttons, including one you can press down to launch the camera. You’ll reap the savings — up to $1,000 — via 24 monthly bill credits when you trade in an eligible device on a Go5G Next plan. An iPhone 11 Pro and newer should net you the full savings, but if you’re trading in an iPhone 6 or newer, you’ll still be able to save up to $500. 

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Families can save 20% every month versus some of T-Mobile’s competitors. If you’re curious to see how much you could pocket, check out T-Mobile’s savings calculator. When you sign up for a Go5G Next plan, you’ll be able to upgrade every year. 

Note that if you cancel your account before you receive all 24 credits, those credits will stop and you’ll have to pay the remaining balance yourself. Additionally, your bill credits will also end if you pay off your device early. If you’re confident you can stick with T-Mobile, this deal is hard to beat.
