Yes, for years. Once in a while they make some 3-4 gen older phones eligible for simple choice too (last we had option to get free iPhone 13 on adding a new line without trade and with port in) for simple choice

REQUIRES NEW LINE and ALSO TO EXPENSIVE PLAN CHANGE to get $830 off.
TMO has done away with promotion since the departure of John legere, the Uncarrier guy.
there has been no promotion since last 2 years. thats why tmonews site which used to be a crazy site for tmo now has zero comments

They need to post the promotion specifying Magenta user is qualified otherwise is risky. Also is it only 16 or all the modles?

Yes, I did and even tried to put a promo code P857 (found this code from the Tmobile website related to Apple Activate ID240567), but didn't work at all.
Probably the glitch (?) has been fixed? As you already know that this promo only applies to the GO5G or similar plan as stated in the fine print.

I was able to add this for my Magenta 1.0 plan; $30/month for new line came out to the same cost as buying the iPhone 16 Pro (with iPhone 12 trade in) but I get an extra line for "free".

The deal requires no plan change but you do need to add a line.

whats the absolute cheapest plan that qualifies for the trade in?

I'm a prepaid customer $10/mo but go up to $35 when I need it.

My plan was to buy 16 pro and trade in my 12 mini for $150. If the math makes sense, I don't mind paying close to $40/mo.

If your credit score is decent, stay with your current prepaid company. Go the Apple store or go to the Apple Store app and sign up for a Apple Card you will get instant reply if you qualify or not. Do the trade-in and purchase your phone on the Apple Store app. You will 24 months interest free on anything purchase from Apple, that are Apple products. Split the total amount into 24 months that will be your monthly payment.

If you choose to go through T-Mobile route. The cheapest plan for one line to even get a good trade-in value for your iphone 12 mini you would have to go with the Go5G Plus plan for one line. That price is $90/month.
See for yourself: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...%3AMagenta

But, the cheapest plan for one line is $50/month (Essentials Saver) which you have to pay taxes and fees.

Thanks, I'll just stick with the prepaid.

FWIW I got the BoA customized cash cc just for the $200 bonus for the phone and buying it in full (and paying it off in full). Will also get 3% back from that.

I took advantage of the of this deal by adding 2 lines (bogo) and did 2 trade-in of the iPhone 12 from the MetroPCS deal. after a year i will drop 2 of the paid lines
