Fresh from Samsung's impressive Unpacked event, where they announced three new foldable smartphones, two smartwatches, and smart glasses, it's almost Google's time to shine. We're expecting news on the latest Pixel phones in next week's Made by Google , but until then, we've got something for the Apple devotees out there.
We all know that Apple prices are rising due to RAMageddon , but somebody needs to tell T-Mobile. This mobile carrier continues to drop free deals on the latest iPhones:
iPhone 17 Pro — free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience Beyond plan (no trade-in needed).
You will be charged taxes and a one-time connection fee with these free deals, but that's a small price to pay for the latest iPhone.
Is this a good time to pick up the iPhone 17? Anytime you can get the latest handset for free is a good time to sign up, but the iPhone 18 is not too far away. We're expecting the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max to arrive in fall 2026 . However, the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and the next-gen iPhone Air are rumored to be coming in March 2027. That's a long wait and might provide another push toward the highly capable iPhone 17.
Get the Apple iPhone 17 for free this weekend with T-Mobile.
