T-Mobile plans $200-plus discount on Apple's iPhone X starting Feb. 23
Looking to snag a key demographic, T-Mobile is offering U.S. customers a discount of over $200 on an iPhone X, starting this Friday.
The deal is subject to a number of restrictions. Buyers must, for instance, trade in an older phone, and pay the regular price upfront -- in the case of a 64-gigabyte model, a $279.99 downpayment and $30 per month for two years, plus the associated data plan.
The discount comes in the form of a rebate issued via a prepaid MasterCard, and canceling service will automatically return the iPhone to full price. Similarly, the promotion may not be eligible in tandem with some other perks.
The iPhone X is Apple's most expensive iPhone to date, starting at $999 and topping out at $1,149 for a 256-gigabyte model -- more than some Macs. This is mainly because of its edge-to-edge, 5.8-inch OLED screen, but also because of its 3D-sensing TrueDepth camera used for tasks like Face ID and animoji.
Apple is expected to launch two OLED iPhones later this year, sized at 5.8 and 6.5 inches. It's not clear how much they'll cost, but a 6.1-inch LCD model should serve as a more affordable alternative.

You don’t know. When did you ever see “sold out signs” posted anywhere? And I’ll take that bet.
You’re still here? I saw a bunch back in December in both Europe and the US. Way more than five. But anecdotes are like assholes, amirite?
Best case, you're breaking even. Worst case, trade in your 7+ 256GB to get $200 off a phone?
Troll Score: 2 of 10. Lacking creativity.
Sorry but you’re full of shit — Cook contradicts your troll claim directly, saying it was the best selling of all iphones every week it was out last quarter. Oops.
What other narratives are you pushing?
How do you like your iPhone X, btw?
And BTW, I like my iPhone X. I liked my Jet Black 7 a little better but I wanted the bigger screen and the X is a nice phone. I like the gestures a lot more than the home button and FaceID works easily for me even at most angles. I have no reason to complain and don’t regret upgrading at all.
These days it makes more sense to buy your phone and plan separately.
