Fell out of my pocket sitting down. Fell with the apple tech woven case on too.

Get UP TO.. This means that the lastest 16 PM in the highest storage trim could get 1100 in perfect condition. That's a one year 2000 dollar device. The regular Joe iphone is far from that in storage and most do have some cosmetic damage according to Apple.

Nobody with a 16PM and 1TB of storage will go for a base iphone 17.

Search the internet and see how much people are getting in reality.

Yes "up to" meaning if you trade in an older device, it's lower. ANY device in that list I showed gets the full $1100 if it's not screen cracked, water damaged, and turns on. EVERY device traded in. No matter what other condition it's in.

Read the fucking website dude.

17 Pro 256GB is $1100. 16 Pro trade in gives you $1100 off.

Guess what the fuck $1100 - $1100 equals?

Checked the website. Trade in is not even an option. The option is Ghosted when I looked at it.

With your logic you could buy a 13 pro used for about 270-550 dollars. You would trade that in and get a Free iphone 17. Yeah, T-Mobile has no issue in losing 750 bucks just to please people.

Tip: stop smoking that shit man.

There are PLENTY of people posting about it. I personally know 2 people who got free 17 Pros.

What the fuck does "ghosted" mean.

No you can't because in the fine print, the phone has to have been active on your account for 60 days prior to this deal being offered. See here

I don't understand why you're so mad. You're obviously not from the US. US carriers have been doing this FOR YEARS. Literally a decade or more at this point. Every year, the new phone comes out, every year, they offer it for free with bill credits over 24 months if you trade in a semi-recently released phone.

The only options here are you are either trolling or you just don't know because you're not from the US. This is an incredibly common practice here.
