TL;DR: As of Sept. 14, T-Mobile is offering shoppers the chance to get an iPhone 18 Pro on them when you switch or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.
Apple's latest Surprise and Shine event was a real treat for fans. We got exciting announcements about new AirPods, Apple Watches, and even brand-new iPhones.
If the sleek new iPhone 18 Pro has your attention, T-Mobile is actually offering a way for you to grab it on their dime, which is a welcome preorder offer at a time when tech prices just keep climbing.

The second option is to trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.
No matter which option you choose, T-Mobile states that you'll receive up to $1,200 back as up to 36 monthly bill credits. And as for which phones you can trade-in to get up to $1,200 credit, they are as follows:
