The title itself deserves a thumbs up. Wish all the phone deal titles follow the same brevity.

Let's makes a point here. You buy now and wait for one year to unlock to save $300. Which means when iphone 18 release, which makes ip17 $100 cheaper. Technically speaking, you are saving $200 for ip17 in year 2026 minus 1 month metro bill. What you think?

This isn't worth it unless you're going to use it on metro or any other carrier this phone supports while locked, assuming there are any.

It's actually only locked for 6 mo (180 days).

Compared to the Boost Mobile deal (pay 100% of phone today, get 12 mo of $25 monthly service credits), get this if:

1. You want an immediate $300 off the device cost (available on iPhone 17, Air, 17 Pro/Max)
2. You're ok being locked to Metro for 6 months paying $50/mo vs 2 days locked to Boost.
3. You really want T-Mobile Tuesdays and 100GB of Google One
4. You actually need 50GB of high-speed data vs 30GB per month on the Boost base unl plan
5. You need hotspot (can be purchased as an addon on the Boost base plan for $10/mo, actually technically better than Metro since it's not limited to 8GB out of your bucket)

Is that a typo? What do you mean by "vs 2 days locked to Boost"?

that is incorrect.. metro changed to a year of locked status about a year ago...

If what I'm seeing is correct, the real deal should be the iPhone 14 for $99.

And also looking through the other phones, the S25 is $249 and the S25fe is $99.

Only really worth it if you have an extra number to port in and then port your regular number to use it on the $25 plan for a year.
