T-Mobile vs. Boost Mobile: iPhone 18 Pro for 2 lines

For 2 lines of iPhone 18 Pro over 36 months, Boost Mobile's Unlimited+ beats T-Mobile's Experience More by $2,293. The monthly plan price is the single biggest driver of that gap. Both sides are backed by confirmed plan pricing.

T-Mobile (24 months) and Boost Mobile (24 months) spread its device credit over fewer than 36 months, so the bill drops partway through.
