Flagship smartphones come with a hefty price tag, leading many buyers to finance their purchase through carriers like T-Mobile. In the past, T-Mobile offered generous trade-in deals for new phones, including any-condition trade-ins. However, with the upcoming release of the iPhone 17 series, T-Mobile has announced a significant change to its trade-in policy.
Starting with the iPhone 17 release, T-Mobile will no longer accept any-condition trade-ins. This means that customers will no longer be able to trade in broken or damaged devices for discounts on new phones. The timing of this change has raised concerns among customers, especially as the rumored prices for the iPhone 17 series are expected to be higher than its predecessor.
T-Mobile's decision to end any-condition trade-ins comes amidst other changes, such as the phasing out of tax-inclusive plans and forced migrations to newer plans. Customers are encouraged to explore upgrade deals from other carriers in light of these changes.
