T-Mobile just launched a surprise early Black Friday sale - you can already get four free iPhone 17s without a trade-in
The carrier T-Mobile has just surprised us with a new batch of excellent seasonal deals today, including the option to bundle up to four iPhones for free alongside an unlimited plan without the usual trade-in criteria.
Essentially an early Black Friday deal in all but name, today's promotion offers the most generous deal we've seen on the iPhone 17 at T-Mobile since the device was launched back in September.
What makes these T-Mobile deals so good, apart from the lack of trade-in criteria, is that they're eligible with the carrier's entry-level Essentials plan. This 5G unlimited plan costs just $100 per month for four lines thanks to the carrier's 'third-line-free' policy, so it's entirely possible to get four free iPhone 17 for just $25/mo per line here.
If you prefer Android, then the good news is that this same deal is currently available on the excellent Samsung Galaxy S25 - allowing you to bundle four devices for free alongside a new unlimited plan.
