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 ☹️

Quote from reaperman :
To me $500 isnt bad for my 13 mini and being on the 55+ magenta plan. About 3 yrs ago Tmob gave me the 13 for free on bill credits. Now $500 credit with $330 to boot over 24 months at $13.xx payments. If I keep the 16 for another 3 yrs, added to the 3 yrs I've had the 13, that would give me 6 years of use for about $55/year. Not to mention my battery is getting tired. I was going to wait for the new SE, but the 16 is cheaper.

The 16 will be better than the SE 4 in the long run.

I could see the SE being offered for free with trade-in on most plans since it will retail for less than $499.

Just called Costco Tmobile to place the order.
The $35 activation fee is waived, and offered $100 Costco cash card for the upgrade.
I'm on Magenta Max, and I didn't expect we would get top-tier offer again. So happy to see this, and it might be the last time MMax get this kind of offer.

only verbal promise. No written record, but it is normal for trade-in promotions like this.

Am I missing something? These plans $60/line and you need to get 3 lines to get that price!

You're not getting a free iPhone. I've been paying $15/month for 5GB+unlimited talk/text for over 5 years. At these prices I can buy a new iPhone outright every 2 years and not be stuck in a contract.

Is there some hack to get this price down that makes it more palatable?
