The iPhone 17 series has been announced and is now official. That means you're probably scheming right now, thinking about how you are going to pay for your new iPhone 17 series model. Trading in a phone has always been a popular way to reduce the price of a new phone purchase. In the online Apple Store, there are some carrier trade-in deals that you might find enticing.
Interestingly, even though it can no longer be considered the nation's fourth facilities-based carrier because it sold off most of its spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX, Apple has included Boost along with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile for the carrier trade-in deals being offered for purchases of the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Boost Mobile's Infinite Access plan offers you as much as an $830 credit (applied as bill credit over 36 months) toward a new iPhone 17 model, even without a trade. Sign up for the service that features unlimited talk, text, and data for $65 per month, and the iPhone 17 will be free. If you want a more expensive model like an iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, or an iPhone 17 Pro Max, you can still get a free phone by tossing in a trade.

To score a free iPhone Air from Boost, sign up for the Boost Mobile Infinite plan and add to the $830 credit by trading in an iPhone model worth $169 or more in a trade. That includes the iPhone 12 Pro and later. A free iPhone 17 Pro requires you to sign up for the Boost Mobile Infinite plan and add a trade valued at $267 or more. For the iPhone 17 Pro Max, you will need a trade valued at $367 or more. Boost Mobile Infinite subscribers get a free upgrade to the same model every year.

AT&T is offering new and existing customers up to $830 in bill credits over 36 months for an eligible trade in any condition on any unlimited plan. If your trade qualifies, you'll be able to grab a free iPhone 17 and reduce the price for the iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
T-Mobile is willing to take your eligible trade in any condition and credit you as much as $1,100 in bill credits over 24 months. You have to be a new or current subscriber to the Experience Beyond or the Go5G Next rate plans to get the best deals. For example, those subscribers to the Go5G Plus & Experience More plans can get up to $800 in bill credits when they trade-in an iPhone 13 and later.
Verizon is also offering a maximum trade value of up to $1,100 for new and existing customers on the Unlimited Ultimate rate plan. The bill credits are applied over 36 monthly invoices.
Pre-orders begin September 12th, and you can reserve your new iPhone 17 series model by heading over to the Apple Store starting this Friday.
