Top Offers From T-Mobile and Verizon for iPhone 15 Carrier Deals

Carriers are starting to release their latest deals on the new iPhone 15, with all three major carriers offering discounts of up to $1,000. However, these discounts come with certain requirements, including switching to the carriers’ most expensive plans and committing to a monthly payment plan for the new phone.

While this strategy of locking customers into contracts is not new, the iPhone 15 presents an opportunity for carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon to convince users to switch to their latest premium plans. Here’s what you need to know about the carrier deals from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon for the iPhone 15.

How Do I Get the $1,000 Discount?

AT&T

AT&T’s offer is straightforward. To receive the $1,000 discount, customers need to be on any of AT&T’s current or past unlimited plans (excluding the cheapest Value Plus plan) and trade in an eligible phone. Eligible phones include last year’s iPhone models, older flagship iPhones, the Google Pixel 7 Pro, and various Samsung devices. Customers need to sign up for a 36-month installment plan, and if they cancel early, they will have to pay the remaining balance on the phone.

Verizon

Verizon’s offer requires customers to add a new line or switch from a competitor and sign up for their premium unlimited plan called Unlimited Ultimate. Like AT&T, customers need to trade in their phone and commit to a 36-month payment plan. If they cancel early, they will be responsible for the remaining balance. Verizon accepts any iPhone in any condition for trade-in, allowing customers to even trade in broken devices for the full discount.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile’s offer is similar to Verizon’s. To get the best deals, customers need to be on T-Mobile’s Go5G Plus or Go5G Next plans and trade in an eligible device. Eligible devices include the Pro iPhones and “Ultra” models of Samsung Galaxy phones. T-Mobile offers shorter financing plans compared to AT&T and Verizon, running for 24 months. The deals are available for new and existing customers, but there are limitations on which lines can be upgraded to Go5G Plus.

What If I Don’t Want to Switch Plans?

AT&T

AT&T still offers discounts even for those who don’t want to switch to unlimited plans. The discount is $830 off the new iPhone 15 for trading in older devices like iPhone 11 or 12, or an iPhone 13 mini. AT&T also accepts trade-ins of select Android devices. Customers still need to be on a limited plan and commit to a 36-month payment plan.

Verizon

Verizon offers up to $830 off the new iPhone 15 for customers on their latest plans. Those on cheaper plans can get up to $415 off with a trade-in. The condition of the traded-in devices may also affect the discount. Customers need to pay for the phone through Verizon with either a lump sum or monthly payments over 36 months.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile offers up to $650 off any iPhone 15 model for customers on their Magenta Max plan. Eligible devices include certain iPhones and unspecified Android phones. Customers on Magenta or Go5G plans can get up to $350 off. Regardless of the offer, customers need to purchase the phone from T-Mobile on a 24-month payment plan.

Overall, all three carriers are offering various discounts and trade-in options for the iPhone 15, but customers should carefully evaluate the requirements and conditions before making a decision.
