Best iPhone 17e deal: T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 17e for free

SAVE UP TO $1,100: Get a free iPhone 17e when signing up for a T-Mobile plan with no trade-in required. Alternatively, get any model of the iPhone 17 for free from T-Mobile when signing up for an Experience More plan and trading in an eligible device.

March has been an incredible month for Apple fans. We have fresh iPhones, MacBooks, and iPads, and most of them came with really awesome upgrades. For example, the MacBook Neo comes in at just $599 and we have upgraded chips in many of these new Apple devices for speedier performance. But if you have your eyes set on the new iPhone 17e, you can get it for free at T-Mobile.

Sign up for almost any T-Mobile plan and get a free iPhone 17e with no trade in required. The iPhone 17e comes with a price tag of $599 for the 256GB and $799 for the 512GB model. If you're in the mood for the new top-tier iPhone, you can snag the iPhone 17 Pro for free when signing on for 24 months of an Experience Beyond plan and trading in an eligible phone. Keep in mind T-Mobile will charge taxes on these free deals and a $35 device connection fee.

The iPhone 17e comes with some pretty great upgrades compared to the iPhone 16e. For starters, the base storage starts at 256GB, up for 128GB on the 16e. Even more impressive, Apple started both models at $599 which makes the 17e's double storage feel like an excellent "free" upgrade.

It's also the first budget-iPhone to come with MagSafe ability. That means your phone can now join your AirPods and Apple Watch when it comes to recharging on a MagSafe base. Apple also introduced a new colorway with the iPhone 17e — soft pink. Since we now have awesome MagSafe cases that are clear, the colorway does matter, and the pink is undeniably lovely.

Additionally, Apple is using the A19 chip in the new iPhone 17e which is said to lead to better performance and AI compatibility. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder reviewed the iPhone 17e and wrote, "The combination of having Apple's latest chip and a decent amount of storage means this phone will be relevant for at least four to five years."

Since getting something for free these days is rare, it's worth considering snagging a free iPhone 17e from T-Mobile. This deal applies to signing up for nearly any T-Mobile plan and you don't need to trade in your current phone. All in all, it's a great offering for those interested in the latest iPhone.
