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.
Those looking to upgrade to the iPhone 18 Pro actually have a couple of ways to go about this at T-Mobile: The first route is to switch to T-Mobile and bring your number over to start a new line and port it onto an Experience Beyond plan.
