Save Up to $1,100 on the New iPhone 17 with Xfinity
Whether you’re excited about ultra-thin iPhone Air or the stunning cameras and battery life on iPhone 17 Pro Max, get up to $1,100 off when you trade in your current phone with Xfinity.
September is in the air, which means it’s back to work, back to school and…time for a new iPhone. At its «awe dropping» event last week, Apple unveiled its iPhone 17 lineup with four new models, including the long-awaited iPhone Air, which at 5.6mm thick is the thinnest iPhone ever.
Whether you’re eager to go thin with iPhone Air or all-out with iPhone 17 Pro Max, you can save up to $1,100 when you trade in an eligible phone with Xfinity before October 9. (That means your new iPhone could be completely free.) Plus, you’ll get to use it on Xfinity, America’s largest and most reliable 5G network that also gets you access to millions of WiFi hotspots.
Here are a few standout features of the new iPhone lineup to help you decide which one is right for you.
From ultra-thin iPhone Air to all-out iPhone 17 Pro Max
Better cameras, faster chips, brighter screens — Apple’s latest collection delivers improvements to hardware, design and battery life, plus some fun surprises.
iPhone 17
Available in black, white, or three pastel colors, iPhone 17 also boasts a larger (6.3 inches) and brighter (up to 3,000 nits) screen, protected with an improved scratch- and glare-resistant coating. Most exciting: the standard model now includes the ProMotion display, formerly available only on Pro models, as well as the Pro’s 48-megapixel Dual Fusion camera. Inside, its A19 chip boasts a five-core GPU. Pricing starts at $799, or get it free when you trade in your qualifying phone with Xfinity.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
Available with a 6.3-inch (Pro) or 6.9-inch (Max) screen and protected with a Ceramic Shield on both sides, Apple’s top-tier iPhone sets itself apart with an 18-megapixel front Center Stage camera, as well as three 48-mexapixel lenses in its Fusion telephoto system. With updated processor cooling and thermal management, Apple says iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will get up to 39 hours of video playback. Pricing starts at $1,099, or as low as $0 with your qualifying trade-in at Xfinity.
iPhone Air
The newsiest of Apple’s announcements, iPhone Air is a visual stunner at only 5.6mm thick, all without skimping on the specs. With the same A19 Pro processor found in the Pro models, iPhone Air incorporates neural accelerators into each of its six GPU cores. Its 6.5-inch ProMotion XDR display, 48-megapixel camera, new N1 networking chip and C2 modem make it a very powerful, compact device. And don’t let its slim profile fool you: With a new polished titanium frame and Apple’s Ceramic Shield protecting the front and back, the Air is Apple’s strongest iPhone yet. Pricing starts at $999—or free when you trade in your phone with Xfinity.
Save up to $1,100 whether you’re switching to Xfinity or not
The iPhone 17 lineup is available now, and you can save big when you trade in your qualifying phone with Xfinity before October 9. Your trade-in phone doesn’t have to be a previous iPhone model, and you can take advantage of the offer whether you’re switching to Xfinity or an existing customer looking to upgrade. If you have a phone made by a major manufacturer in the past few years, you’ll likely qualify for the full $1,100 credit, meaning you can get any new iPhone 17 model for free via credits on your monthly bill.
As an Xfinity customer, you’ll enjoy your new iPhone 17 on America’s largest and most reliable 5G network as well as millions of WiFi hotspots that bring connection to you wherever you are. Check your phone’s trade-in value today and save up to $1,100 on iPhone 17 now through October 9.
