Instant rebate + rebate after 3 months. 3 month rebate is via virtual prepaid mastercard.
Requires Port + $100+ value trade in.
Trade in calculator: https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/trade-in
From the T&Cs it looks like you need to: port a number + pay $150 upfront for the phone + tax on full MSRP + $60/month (for 3 months to qualify for a $150 rebate).

The $100 value on the trade really kills this deal Frown

T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is helping people get back to school, and now Metro by T-Mobile is getting in on the action with iPhone 12 mini on Us — the first and only prepaid provider to offer the 5G-capable iPhone 12 mini on Us — starting July 22. And, as always, it comes with access to T-Mobile's award-winning nationwide 5G network on all plans.

Here's how it works: You pick up your iPhone 12 mini with 5G from a Metro by T-Mobile store, and after three months, T-Mobile gives you a rebate making that phone yours free and clear. Simply bring in your qualifying trade in and activate your phone number on Metro's top-of-the-line unlimited plan. It's $60 per month or just $30 per person per month for a family of four. And that plan is absolutely STACKED — unlimited talk, text and 5G smartphone data; monthly taxes and fees included and 15GB of high-speed hotspot data … PLUS an Amazon Prime membership for #AllTheThingsRightAway.

If congested, the fraction of users >35GB/mo. may notice reduced speeds and Metro customers may notice reduced speeds vs. T-Mobile due to prioritization. Video streams at up to 480p. Limited time offers; subject to change. iPhone On Us: Qualifying port-in, valid ID & trade-in ($100+ value) required. Via $580 instant rebate off FRP of $729.99 and $150 rebate via virtual prepaid MasterCard. Limit 2/account. Plus tax on pre-rebate price. Must be active & in good standing to receive $150 rebate. Not valid in CT/RI/Miami-Dade. Amazon Prime: Included with select rate plans for new Prime members. Offer subject to change. $12.99/month value. Amazon terms apply. 5G: Some uses may require certain plan or feature; see T-Mobile.com. Most Reliable: According to an audit report conducted by independent third-party umlaut containing crowdsourced data for user experience collected from September 2020 until February 2021. Full details at: www.umlaut.com/en/benchmarking/USA [umlaut.com]. Fastest: According to Opensignal Awards – USA: 5G User Experience Report July 2021​, based on independent analysis of average speeds from mobile measurements recorded during the period March 16 - June 13, 2021 © 2021 Opensignal Limited.​

Press release:

I expect the Metro by T-Mobile website to update when the offer goes live on 22 July.

As someone that switched from 12 years of Android usage and last 3 devices being PIxel phones, I kinda regret going to iPhone 12 mini. I thought I can live with it after seeing how much bigger my wife's regular iphone 12 is and was concerned of awkward pocketability but the 12 mini is really small. I don't have big hands and it's a PITA to do simple cursor move around to click on some of the smaller context buttons on the 12 mini. I just wish Apple had something between mini and regular, not even the max because that thing is huuuge.

I hope they have an android equivalent. I can't justify a switch to an iphone if its that tiny.

For T-mo it is 40 days and with Metro, you'll have to wait for 6 months, unless you are military awaiting deployment.

The iphone 12 Pro is close to the size of Pixel 3. Slightly thicker and heavier but negligible.
I've been a Pixel user and got the iphone Pro and it's a good size comparable to the Pixel.

Is this the 64gb? What qualifies for an eligible trade in? Is phone locked? Can phone be used on T-Mobile network (ie activate on Metro, keep line active but put Metro sim in drawer and put in T-Mobile sim)
