Metro by TMobile Apple iPhone 17 256GB Black Locked for a YEAR

Phone price $529.99 with port in + $55 one month plan

This is not a deal for someone who is not willing to wait for a year. YMMV

I took this chance considering I can use the device for 11 months as a wifi (until it unlocks) but your use case can vary and this might not be a deal for you YMMV.

As of today, this is by far the lowest price for a new 256gb iPhone 17 that can get unlocked albeit after a year.

As per the current unlock policy for Metro and also past experience, you don't need to keep the service after the first month, phone will still unlock

by XX if you mean iPhone 20 then no, it will get unlocked by next yr same time probably after the launch of iPhone 18 and I already stated that drawback.if you are just making a sarcastic comment .. I embrace that ... the deal isn't for you, apologies

True, but Apple finally starting with 120hz display and 256gb was the big jump without adding cost. I'm predicting iPhone 18 will cost more.

If you can use the service, consider getting your new iPhone from boost mobile. It comes with a free year of unlimited service, effectively reduce the price of the phone.

One years is usually $150 from boost on regular sales.
