[VERGE] T-Mobile’s new Go5G plan gets even more expensive and offers faster phone upgrades
For $100 a month, you could get a slightly better phone every year.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
T-Mobile announced it’s offering a yearly phone upgrade plan called Go5G Next for $100 per month for a single line.
It’s a pricier companion to the $90-per-month Go5G Plus plan with bi-annual upgrades the carrier debuted earlier this year.
If you work from home and are on Wi-Fi, 50GB could be plenty, but if you travel or go out a lot, you could find yourself frustrated with that limit.
T-Mobile won’t deem you “upgrade-ready” until you’ve paid off half your phone — otherwise, you’re still on a 24-month contract.
AT&T offers a similar deal with its AT&T Next Up add-on: for $6 per month on top of your installment plan, you can upgrade if you’ve paid 50 percent of your phone off.
The plan is positioned as an alternative to the three-year lock-ins offered by other carriers, which often come with a “free” phone, of course, normally manifested as a monthly credit on your account.
