Now that Apple has revealed its newest iteration of its iPhone brand, carriers are working fast to capitalize on the hype. Among them is Sprint, which is currently offering the iPhone 8 for free – sort of. Anyone who is interested in getting one will simply need to be willing to giving up their not-so-old devices.
As Forbes reports, Sprint’s free iPhone 8 offer has a few caveats. One is to have a unit of Apple’s previous iPhones or Samsung’s Galaxy S devices to trade in. This effectively includes the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and even the Note 8. That last item came out just last month as well, so a customer would have to be a hardcore iPhone fan to trade it in for an iPhone 8.
Now, it’s worth noting that this “free” offer only applies to the phones themselves. That is to say, customers pay $0 for the upfront payment and monthly lease fees. However, they’ll still need to pay the $55 a month for the Sprint “Flex” unlimited plan in order to get the phone. What’s more, this deal is only offered to new lines, but existing customers can still take advantage of it if they activate another line for themselves.
In case customers don’t want to own the iPhone 8 after the lease period, they can opt for the iPhone Forever option. This will enable them to return the iPhone 8 after 12 months and get the new device from Apple once it comes out.
Customers who might be looking forward to what carriers will offer for the more innovative and more expensive iPhone X (ten) will need to wait a bit more. None of the major carriers have revealed their plans for the device, Fortune notes, which will not go on pre-order until October’s end anyway.
