You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.

Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ☹️

This does not seem to be a deal at least for me. I'm on essentials and getting 16 pro for $20.83*24 + $78 tax = $578 after getting $500 for my trade-in of 13 pro. Apple sells this for $1000 + $78 tax = $1078 in apple balance which I've stacked over the time using apple gift card deals at target/amazon roughly 20% off using discover CB, target gc, target bonus promo, amazon promo etc. which equals to roughly $1078 * 0.8 = $863. Apple offers $300 for 13 pro trade-in making it $863-300 = $563. Buying from Apple makes sense as I get unlocked phone. Is my thinking wrong here?
yes your thinking is very wrong because you dont have a grandfathered plan from T-Mobile. If you have $90 family plan with 12 lines like me you will think very different.

Worth while to trade a regular s22 for a new iPhone 16? I don't plan on leaving tmobile. The s22 is literally brand new, never used. Got it free on a free line, sitting in the drawer.

I just did that but opt for pro version. Consider future tradin value, it definitely worths

I am on Tmobile One plan and have iphone 13, can I upgrade without changing the plan and get $500 off?

Depends on the plan, this does not work on some older plans. Like the Simple Choice plan.

Same - Simple Choice and iPhone 12 Pro. Thinking about the deal, but also wondering if I can trade in a different cheaper phone and let my 13yo have the 12 Pro.

You could buy 12 /13 mini off of marketplace for about $200 and trade that in for 500?

I think for him it worked out so should be good, but it cannot be replicated by any other person. For him just because he already had the apple GC bought works out well.

I went to the store and they had me do it through the t-life app. I figured sure why not, downloaded the app went through the process without issue, handed them my note 20, walked out, got in my car and uninstalled t-life. It was quick and painless.
