Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 18 Pro, begins at a retail price of $1,199. In conjunction with the launch, T‑Mobile is offering the device at no cost to both new and existing customers through an online promotion. Eligible participants can obtain the phone by visiting the carrier’s website, selecting the iPhone 18 Pro, and completing the required steps to claim the “on us” offer, which is tied to a qualifying service plan.
The promotion is part of a broader set of wireless savings aimed at new subscribers. T‑Mobile highlights the value of its mobile internet, voice, and text services, positioning the iPhone 18 Pro deal as an incentive for customers to switch carriers or upgrade their current plans. The offer is currently available only through the carrier’s online portal and requires enrollment in a qualifying plan to receive the device.
Apple has clarified that accessories designed for the previous generation, specifically iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max cases, are not officially compatible with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The company cites a slight increase in camera module thickness on the newer models—11.5 mm compared with 11.4 mm on the prior generation—as the reason for the incompatibility.
Despite the official stance, independent testing indicates that many existing cases may still fit the newer phones. One tester reported that his iPhone 17 Pro cases aligned correctly with the iPhone 18 Pro, suggesting that the one‑tenth‑of‑a‑millimeter difference does not always prevent case interchangeability in practice.

Can you use iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max cases with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and vice versa? Apple's official answer is no, according to Daring Fireball's John Gruber. Apple said the camera plateau on the iPhone 18 Pro models is ever so slightly thicker this year. Gruber said the difference is one-tenth of a millimeter: 11.5mm vs. 11.4mm. It is a minor difference, but Apple would obviously prefer to sell you a new case. In practice, most cases should be interchangeable. In his personal testing, Gruber said his iPhone 17 Pro cases fit the iPhone 18 Pro models perfectly, …
