While everyone is looking forward to this year's new iPhone, many are also dreading the new prices. With smartphones across the market seeing major price increases, getting the latest iPhone has never felt more unaffordable. Luckily, if you're with the right carrier, you don't have to worry about paying full price for the next iPhone.

T-Mobile offers device deals with the newest iPhone that can make it much more affordable, all on America's largest and fastest 5G network. Depending on which new iPhone you want and what kind of phone you can trade in, you might even get it on them. New customers switching to T-Mobile might not even need a trade-in to qualify for the best deals.

Here's how you can switch to T-Mobile and save on the new iPhone.

Save on the new iPhone with T-Mobile switching deals


When a new iPhone rolls out, T-Mobile always offers excellent deals to help its customers get it. In most cases, T-Mobile's best offers are tied to trade-in deals and switching deals for new customers.

Trade-in deals allow you to get a new iPhone in exchange for sending your old phone to T-Mobile. You could get the newest iPhone on T-Mobile or lower the price of an iPhone Pro, depending on the age and state of your device. No matter which you choose, you get the new iPhone, and T-Mobile helps cover it through 24 or 36 monthly bill credits.

T-Mobile doesn't just save its deals for current customers with trade-ins. Switching deals let you join T-Mobile and get a free iPhone just for signing up. With T-Mobile's Keep and Switch offer, you simply port over your number to one of T-Mobile's qualifying postpaid plans and select the new iPhone you want. T-Mobile will help cover it with 24 monthly bill credits, reimbursing you up to $800 per line for up to four lines. With a discount this deep, you may even be able to score free iPhones for the entire family just by switching.

How do I switch to T-Mobile?


Switching to T-Mobile to snag a free new iPhone is easy. You don't even need to visit a store and wait in line. The entire process can be completed online or in the T-Life app right from home.

To switch to T-Mobile and get a new iPhone, all you have to do is:

  1. Make sure your device is paid off at your current carrier.
  2. Get on the T-Life app and select an eligible postpaid plan.
  3. Select your new iPhone.
  4. Choose to keep your current phone number.
  5. Provide your current carrier information.
  6. Receive your new iPhone in the mail.
  7. Follow the instructions to port your number and activate your new plan.
