What its phone deals are actually worth
Every T-Mobile phone promotion needs a port-in, a trade-in or both, so none of them apply to the table above. Priced as a switcher trading in an iPhone 16 Pro — which Apple values at $510 — each deal is compared against buying the same phone outright on the same plan. That holds the plan constant, so the difference is the deal and nothing else.

How this is counted
Everything over 36 months: the plan, the phone after any bill credits, one-time fees, and — the step most comparisons skip — the phone you trade in. Whether it goes to the carrier for bill credits or to Apple for money off the new phone, it is counted as out-of-pocket at exactly what Apple would pay you for it, so every route gives up the same phone at the same value.
Taxes are excluded. T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon prices assume AutoPay; Xfinity's include the internet-customer discount. Anything a carrier does not publish is flagged rather than guessed.
