Here Are Several Ways to NOT Pay Full Price for the NEW iPhone XS
Planning to order the new iPhone XS? 📱
The new Apple iPhone XS is available for pre-order, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save money right now! If you’re interested in snagging one of these new gadgets, but you’re wondering where you can get the best deal, we’ve got ya covered!
1. AT&T:
For a limited time, when you buy an iPhone XS on an AT&T Next Plan with wireless, you’ll get $700 off an additional iPhone XS (a new line must be added onto the Next plan). Note that the $700 credit will be applied monthly in equal amounts as bill credits over 30 months.
If you’d rather, apply the $700 credit toward a more expensive iPhone, including a 256GB iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max (priced up to $1,450).
2. Verizon:
Similar to AT&T, Verizon allows you to mix and match any two iPhone XS Max, XS, X, 8 Plus or 8 256GB devices, and you’ll get a credit of $29.16/month over 24 months on your bill (starting in one or two billing cycles), a total savings of roughly $700. Note that you’ll need to add a new line to one of the phones.
Have an old phone in good working and cosmetic condition for trade? Trade in a *select iPhone or Android for a $100 credit, which will be applied over 24 months as a monthly credit. You’ll get the current market value instead if it’s higher than $100 – or if you’re new to Verizon, you’ll get the full value as a virtual gift card two weeks after they receive your device.
Verizon will even send you a prepaid package to mail back the trade-in within 30 days at no cost.
*Eligible iPhones for trade-in: Apple iPhone X, 8 Plus, 8, 7 Plus, 7, 6s Plus, 6s, 6 plus, 6, 5s, and SE. Here are the other devices that are eligible for this trade-in offer: Google Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel, and Pixel XL; LG V30, V20, V10, G6, G5, and G4; Motorola Z2 Force, Z Force, Z2 Play, Z Play, Z Droid, Z Play, and Turbo 2; Samsung GS9, GS9+, GS8, GS8+, GS7, 7 Edge, 7 Active, GS6, 6 Edge, 6 Edge+, 6 Active, GS5, GS4, Note 8, Note 5, Note 4, and Note Edge; HTC 10 and M9/M9+.
And, these offers also stack with the free 6 months of Apple Music with an Unlimited plan (afterward, pay just $9.99 per month unless you cancel).
Or, if you’re interested in an Apple Watch Series 4, you can also get $10 off your first month’s fees and $50 off when you also buy an iPhone on a monthly plan.
If you’re interested in an iPad, you’ll get $50 off any model OR $150 off when you buy an iPad and iPhone together. These credits will be applied over a 24 month period.
3. T-Mobile:
For a limited time, T-Mobile is offering up to $300 in bill credits over a 24 month period when you buy an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus on a monthly payment plan AND have an eligible iPhone trade-in. Note that the trade-in value will vary based on the device.

Rumor has it that T-Mobile will also be offering $700 off the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max when you add a new line! Please note that while this offer is not posted on their website yet, you may be able to call their customer service line and have this offer activated.

The new devices must be purchased on Sprint’s 18-month Flex lease with a new line and approved credit. At month 18, you can return it and upgrade to a new model, or buy it (via one lump payment or six monthly payments).
