How I rated this deal 

The iPhone 16 Pro costs$1,000, and with this deal, you're getting it free with the caveat of paying at least$170 a month for a new plan. Because of this 'trade-off,' we gave this offer a 4/5 Editor's deal rating. You're getting a free phone and saving yourself money, but you might be paying more for this plan than your original carrier. For the right person, this is a great deal.
