It's a deal for families - but I prefer the iPhone 17 Pro promo today

On the hunt for Black Friday iPhone deals today? You can do a lot worse than T-Mobile's excellent line-up of promotions. In fact, the headline deal right now is offering four devices for free alongside the carrier's Essentials unlimited plan.

That plan costs just $100/mo for four lines ($25 per line), so you're getting four free devices worth $830 on an exceedingly cheap plan here. Even better still, no trade-ins are needed to be eligible for this particular deal.

With that said, it's not the deal I'd personally go for at the carrier today. For one, you need four lines here, which automatically excludes me (and a lot of other readers, I assume). This is definitely a family-focused Black Friday deal.

Instead, I'd go for the carrier's excellent deal on the iPhone 17 Pro today. This device is currently free with a trade-in, and you can also throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch, which is a very rare deal indeed from T-Mobile. Annoyingly, you do need to pay for cellular lines on the accessories here, but it's a great option overall for single-line users.

Black Friday special

Apple iPhone 17: four devices for free on an unlimited plan (no trade) at T-MobileT-Mobile's Black Friday special on the iPhone 17 is exactly what I expected. Right now, you can get four iPhone 17 for free on an unlimited data plan without the usual trade-in criteria. By itself, that doesn't sound ground-breaking, but the real magic here is in the details. Plan eligibility for this deal includes the carrier's entry-level 'Essentials' plan, which comes out at just $100 per month for four lines. Yep, that means you can get four free iPhone 17 on four lines that average out at just $25/mo each.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro: free with a trade-in, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at T-MobileQuite possibly the best T-Mobile deal of the entire year for single-line users. You can currently get the excellent iPhone 17 Pro for free with a trade-in and new unlimited line at the carrier, alongside the option to bundle in a free iPad and Apple Watch. You rarely see freebies like these at T-Mobile (unlike other carriers), but note that you do need to take out cellular lines on those accessories. So, even if they're free upfront, you're still paying extra per month on your plan.

Two exceptional (but different) deals

If you have four lines ready to switch, then T-Mobile's Black Friday deal on the standard iPhone 17 is easily one of the best on the market right now. You're saving well over $2,000 in costs on the phones alone here. Obviously, it's pretty niche, though.

Most people, myself included, are going to go for the trade-in rebate on the iPhone 17 Pro here. It's a $1,100 rebate (accessories excluded) that matches the previous record from the initial preorders phase, so it's definitely a good deal on top. The iPad and Apple Watch are also great bonuses here, but make sure you add-up the extra costs on the required cellular lines before you jump in - they can be surprisingly pricey.
