Apple has raised prices on the iPhone 18 Pro by $100, but if you are on T-Mobile, that's no concern. With the phones going on pre-order on Saturday, September 12, and hitting the shelves on September 18, the carrier has revealed its financing deals.

Get a free iPhone 18 Pro


While it wasn't clear if T-Mobile would raise its subsidies to match a price hike, the carrier is delivering by offering the $1,199 iPhone 18 Pro for free.

For the highest discount, you need to be on the Experience Beyond 2.0, Experience Beyond, or Go5G Next plan, and trade in an any-condition device or port in from another carrier.

For a $930 discount on the iPhone 18 Pro or a free iPhone 17, you must be on the Experience More 2.0, Experience More, or Go5G Plus plan and turn in a device or add a line.

To save $730, just switch a line to Essentials 2.0, or add a line and trade in a device on plans like Essentials, Go5G, and Magenta.

Lastly, if you are on Essentials 2.0 or Essentials, you can just trade in a device to lock in a $300 discount.

For those who want to pay nothing up front, T-Mobile now offers EIP Flex 36, which spreads out the cost, taxes, and fees over 36 months.

iPhone Handoff



Even if you don't need subsidies, T-Mobile is still the best choice for iPhone buyers right now. That's because iOS 27's iPhone Handoff feature, which lets you share the same number across two devices, is only supported by T-Mobile for now.

Even features such as Scam Shield and T-Satellite will work on both phones. The feature is available for $5 per month.

While most people will want to get a discounted iPhone 18 Pro, signing up for Handoff might seem like a difficult decision. However, if you regularly use two devices, $5/month is much cheaper than opening a line.

You might have missed these latest stories around the new phones:

Free iPhone 18 Pro Max


The iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299, and while Apple isn't offering a $1,300 discount to household customers, business customers can nab it for free by porting in on T-Mobile's SuperMobile plan and trading in a device.

For a free iPhone 18 Pro, trading in a device and adding a line or upgrading to SuperMobile is the way to go.

What about the foldable iPhone Duo?


Pre-orders for the Duo will open on October 16, and it won't go on sale until October 23. T-Mobile will likely announce its Duo deals closer to the release date.
