T-Mobile's Pixel 10 deal is the perfect alternative to the iPhone 17 - you can get it for free without a trade-in

The rumored iPhone 17 launch is looming now, but if you're not an avid Apple fan, then I highly recommend checking out the Google Pixel 10. Specifically, T-Mobile's current promotion - an amazing deal that lets you rebate the entire cost of the device when you bundle it with a new line.

According to the T&Cs of the deal, no trade-ins are currently needed to be eligible for this promotion - and even better yet, it's available on all of the carrier's postpaid plans (including the more budget-oriented Pixel 10).

I mention this particular Pixel 10 deal ahead of the highly anticipated Apple 2025 event because I highly expect it'll have its rival beat when it comes to value. Right now, for example, free iPhones are locked behind either trade-in criteria or new number port-ins. Those are still great deals, but they're a little less generous when it comes to the various hoops you need to jump through to be eligible.

Today's best Pixel 10 deal at T-Mobile

Google Pixel 10 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade, or up to $800 off with a new line at T-Mobile

Google Pixel 10 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade, or up to $800 off with a new line at T-Mobile
The latest Google Pixel 10 series is here, and T-Mobile, as expected, has some superb deals on these new devices. Available right now is a trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 off on the Pro devices and up to $800 off the standard Pixel 10. If that doesn't appeal, then you can instead get a flat $800 rebate alongside a new line on one of the carrier's pricier post-paid unlimited plans.

If you are thinking about trading, then you can go via the traditional route instead and get up to $1,000 off at T-Mobile this week. That's technically enough to cover the entire cost of the higher-end Pixel 10 Pro, but iPhone fans may want to hold off until later this week if they're dead-set on an Apple device, since I expect an almost-identical rebate on the iPhone 17 Pro.
