Even while it’s very uncommon for the major three US wireless service providers to give their customers free access to many of the best phones available, these offers frequently have a lot of restrictions and unique criteria.

But not the promotion for T-Mobile’s sexy new iPhone 16 Pro. Starting today, you can “buy” Apple’s cutting-edge 6.3-inch phone for free without having to trade in your old gadget. You still need to fulfill a few essential requirements in order to save up to $1,000 (!!!) at the industry-leading “Un-carrier.” Of course, nothing is ever that easy.

Primarily, you will need to enter a “eligible” number from a separate provider, which may be annoying but is also rather common for these kinds of offers. Second, if you have a Go5G Next or Experience Beyond plan, you must activate a new voice line.

Since the latter of the two plans was just retired, only the former is likely valid for new Magenta subscribers switching from Verizon, AT&T, or smaller (non-T-Mo-affiliated) carriers. That’s at least what’s stated on the official T-Mobile website.

Thirdly, the third condition does not exist. Unless you think the monthly payment plan you have to sign for your new iPhone 16 Pro is a hassle, which most people looking for a deal shouldn’t find the case. As you probably already knew or at least suspected, your $1,000 discount, which reduced the device’s advertised price from $1,000 to $0, will be transferred to your account as monthly bill credits over a two-year period.

Naturally, if for some reason you prefer the less expensive iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus over the arguably better iPhone 16 Pro, you can also get them for free without having to trade them in as part of the same promotion. Lastly, T-Mobile is unquestionably the most generous and adaptable US carrier for die-hard Apple fans today because it can lower the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max from its usual beginning price of $1,200 to $200 with simply a number port-in and a new Experience Beyond line.
