The carrier deals are misleading. You have to trade in your current phone, receive a carrier-locked phone, and they pay for your trade-in with monthly credits (so if you leave before the 2- or 3-year term, you forfeit the remaining credits). And the only way to get $1,000 off is to trade in the latest top-of-the-line, fully-spec'ed iPhone which you could sell for way more than that.

The only thing you get is convenience. Monetarily, it's a bad deal and it forces you to be stuck with your carrier.
Carrier deals are trash. I generally upgrade every year, reselling my old phone to invest in the new. Depending on the resale market I usually walk away with 150-200 less than what I initially paid, so essentially I get a new phone every year for 200 bucks or less. I pay upfront for an unlocked device, so I can leave my carrier anytime I want and retain the full value of my exchange, unlike these deals which are void if you pay the device off early to break contract like you mentioned. I get why they stretch those credits out but it's still not as good of a deal as they make it out to be.

The T-Mobile $1,000 offer requires their Go5G Plus or Next plan. However, with the included taxes and fees, inflated trade-in credits, and other features (additional premium and hotspot data, voicemail to text, in-flight connectivity, Netflix, Apple TV+, 1 year AAA membership, Scam Shield Premium, etc.) the price isn't necessarily that bad.

Of course, if someone just wants a basic phone plan and doesn't care about the other stuff it's not worth it.

I got $830 from Verizon for each of my 12s that cost me $800 when I bought them. Now granted, you have to be on a higher tier package and be willing to take bill credits for 3 years but we usually have a phone around here for 3-5 years anyway.

I'm not sure "monetarily" it's a bad deal, they pay for most, if not all of your phone...but it most definitely locks you in for 36 months. Do people switch carriers a lot? Still seems like the best route for those who dont upgrade phones often.

I did this deal 2 years ago with ATT, they covered 80% of my phone cost and I have 12 months left of bill credits, couldn't be happier with the "free" phone.
You could have sold your phone for way more than the trade-in value you got. Not only that, but they know they can change anything they want and you won't leave because then you'd forfeit future credits on that phone (because they haven't fully paid you for your trade-in until 3 years later). Plus, you get a carrier-locked phone so you can't use it internationally since it can only work with that one carrier.

I always sell my old phone for $150-200 more than the trade-in value offered by the carriers. And I get an unlocked phone which I can use with any carrier and any international eSIM without worry. And I know that I'm not stuck with my existing carrier for another 3 years.

So right now I could sell my iPhone 13 mini to apple for $320 or ATT will give me $700 if I put it towards a 15 series. That seems like a killer deal? At least from someone who keeps their phone 3-4 years and has been with sam carrier for decades.

The locked part sucks, but its a solid deal in terms of cash out of pocket.
