AT&T customers willing to switch to T-Mobile offered discounts on iPhone 6S and more

T-Mobile Event 3/18/2015

If you’re an AT&T customer and have been thinking about switching to T-Mobile, now might be the time. The Un-carrier is offering the 128GB version of the iPhone 6S for the same price as the 16GB model if you switch to T-Mobile. That’s a savings of $200.

This deal is the third part of the Un-carrier Unwrapped holiday promotion that T-Mobile has been running. The carrier already offered Simple Choice customers three months of unlimited LTE and gave Sprint customers $200 per line for switching carriers. Because the $200 savings comes in the form of a bill credit, though, it could take up to 90 days to realize those savings.

On top of the iPhone 6S deal, AT&T customers can also get up to half off T-Mobile’s in-store accessories for switching to the un-carrier. And notably, this includes the more expensive items like smartwatches and Bluetooth speakers. This means that you could grab a JBL Flip Bluetooth speaker for $50 ($50 savings) or a Fitbit Charge for $75 ($75 savings). Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use the full discount on the Apple Watch since the promotion is limited to $250 or a savings of $125. So if you want to buy an Apple Watch, you can still save $125, just not the full 50 percent. The only caveat is that you will need to finance your accessory purchases.

Now if you happen to have a termination fee and/or a balance due with AT&T, T-Mobile has you covered with its Carrier Freedom deal. You can get up to $650 per line to cover those costs when you trade in your current phone when switching to T-Mobile.

As for plans, T-Mobile is offering four lines with unlimited 4G LTE data for only $45 per month per line. That deal works by giving you the 4th line for free when you sign up for three lines. The first two cost $140 per month, and the third line adds an additional $40 per month. The fourth line is free, so the total comes to $180 per month for all four lines.

T-Mobile continues to make bold moves with deals such as this. The carrier recently announced Binge On, which lets you stream 24 different video services without them counting towards your monthly data allotment. These include Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Go. T-Mobile also announced the addition of eleven more music services to its Music Freedom deal, which lets you stream 44 different services without counting towards your monthly data.

The iPhone SE 4 sounds amazing. But there’s still one big unknown
Mockup of fourth-generation iPhone SE camera bump.

The iPhone 16 series has won praise for its one-package-fits-all approach. It’s got a neat design, fast processor, AI future-proofing, and improved camera chops — all without asking a Pro-tier premium. But it seems the 2025 iPhone SE 4 is going to overshadow it.

Citing an anonymous “reliable” source, 9to5Mac claims that the next iPhone SE will be the first to feature Apple’s own 5G modem. It also makes sense, as the affordable model is a far safer choice for testing first-gen hardware than the cash-cow mainline iPhones.

The iPhone 16 has ruined all other smartphones for me

I have a problem with the iPhone 16. I've been using the phone since mid-September, and in the weeks since then, I have become increasingly aware of a growing issue that I can't overlook.

What is it? I love using the iPhone 16 so much that I don't want to use any other smartphone. Its performance, cameras, and battery life are all great, but they aren't why I'm struggling with this. Instead, it all has to do with the iPhone 16's design. It's not the most technically impressive, but it does something else far better than any other phone I've used this year.
The iPhone 16 prioritizes what matters to me
