On the night when Apple officially released the iPhone 13 series of smartphones, T-Mobile also launched a "permanent upgrade" plan for it, which means that old customers can get a high amount of "old-for-new" deduction qualifications. However, after carefully reviewing the hidden terms of the operator, GSM Arena realized that the so-called Forever Upgrade campaign still has a restriction that is difficult to refuse.
First of all, T-Mobile’s renewal promotion can provide a deduction of up to $1,000 when the iPhone13 is upgraded.
● For iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max models, you can get the same treatment at most.
● But if you take iPhone 12 / 12 mini / 11 / X / XR / XS / XS Max, Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra / S20 FE / S21 / S21+ / Note 10 / Note 20 / Note 20 Ultra / Z Flip 5G / Z Fold 5G / Z Fold 2, Motorola Moto Razr 5G, or OnePlus 8 5G / 8T for replacement, you can only get a maximum of 800 US dollars of replacement subsidy.
GSM Arena added: Although T-Mobile mentioned the word "permanent" many times in the announcement,But also added a sentence "the plan may end or change at any time" in the exemption clause-so the "permanent" here is actually not true.
In addition, you need to pass an eligible Magenta Max or T-Mobile One Plus contract plan to be eligible to participate in the "iPhone 13 Forever Update" program.
Finally, the updated Magenta Max contract is much more expensive than T-Mobile's previous ONE contract, and it also provides more features and fewer restrictions than the latter.
As part of the merger with Sprint , T-Mobile promised not to raise prices. However, if customers upgrade to the Magenta Max package, the contract price will also increase.
