TL;DR: The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is $1,000 off this weekend with T-Mobile. To claim this offer, switch and bring your number or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.


After months and months of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Apple finally announced new iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods, and more. It's all very exciting, but it's the iPhones that really get the people going.

Like everyone else, we dug deep into all the specs and features to give you an insight into exactly what these new flagship devices offer. Now that the dust has settled, the focus naturally switches to deals — and there are a couple of standout options worth highlighting right now:

  • Apple iPhone 18 Pro — $1,000 off when you switch and bring your number or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.

  • Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max — $1,000 off when you switch and bring your number or trade in an eligible phone in any condition on an Experience Beyond plan.

The bad news is the completely "free" doorbuster deal is gone, but taking $1,000 off the $1,199.99 list price knocks your monthly payment down to just $5.56 per month over 36 months for the iPhone 18 Pro. To qualify, you can either switch to an Experience Beyond plan and port over your existing number or trade in an eligible device in any condition on a qualifying plan. The choice is yours.

The full savings are distributed as monthly credits over a 36-month payment plan. As long as you intend to stay locked into T-Mobile for three years, taking a huge chunk off Apple's premier hardware is one of the smartest ways to upgrade without a major hit to your budget.
