T-Mobile Promises Next-Generation iPhone For Free For Those Who Buy An iPhone 6

After revamping its Jump! on Demand program last month to now include the ability for customers to swap their smartphones three times a year, T-Mobile has made another big announcement that will allow users to get their hands on the next-generation iPhone for free.

In an announcement regarding its summer "Un-carrier Amped" upgrades on Tuesday, T-Mobile CEO John Legere revealed that customers who now buy an iPhone 6 as part of the new $15 a month Jump! on Demand leasing plan will be able to swap it for the latest iPhone model whenever it is released without paying a penny.

"Now, every single customer who gets a new iPhone 6 this summer as part of this deal can simply swap it for the next iPhone, if they upgrade before the end of the year," Legere says in a press release. "Just swap it out and pay NOTHING more — nothing up front and no change to your monthly payment. No deposit. No fees. Nothing. You get the next iPhone guaranteed."

Those customers who already have an iPhone 6 for the $15 per month charge will automatically be qualified to trade for the new Apple model after it's released as well. Of course, customers will have to trade in their current smartphone in good condition in order to get their hands on the new phone.

All customers who purchase an iPhone 6 through the Jump! on Demand program will also get exclusive priority access to the next iPhone.

"If there's a new iPhone this year, you're first in line," Legere says. "When you order your upgrade during the first 48 hours it's available, we'll give your order priority and ship it first, along with others who qualify for priority access. So you'll be among the very first to get your brand new phone when we have inventory."

The promotion lasts through Labor Day in participating stores across the country.

T-Mobile is also adding Apple Music to its list of services that are part of its Music Freedom, the plan that lets customers stream unlimited music on their smartphones or tablets without using up their monthly 4G LTE data.
