Best Black Friday iPhone Deals: Trade-In Savings, Prepaid Discounts and More

Whether you’re looking to snag the high-end iPhone 15 Pro Max or the affordable iPhone SE, there are plenty of ways to get your hands on one for less.

Apple makes some of our absolute favorite devices on the market, claiming more than a few spots on our list of the best phones for 2023. And while these sleek Apple devices can get pricey, Black Friday is just around the corner, so there are plenty of ways to get your hands on one for less right now.

Apple probably won’t be offering any discounts directly, but there are tons of offers at carriers and other retailers that can knock hundreds off the starting price or even help you snag one for free. You can trade in your old phone for savings on unlocked iPhone models, or score savings via monthly bill credits when you sign up with a major carrier. And some retailers like Walmart are even offering prepaid discounts, so you don’t have to worry about being locked into a multi-year contract. To help you make the most of these savings, we’ve rounded up the best deals out there on both current and previous-gen iPhones below.

Which iPhone is best?

There are quite a few different iPhones on the shelf right now, which can make choosing the right one a little overwhelming. The iPhone 15 is one of the latest models, and our top pick for most people. Though if you need something with some serious hardware, you’ll probably want to upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max.

Those on a budget will probably want to grab the third-gen iPhone SE, which starts at just $429. Though if you have specific priorities like a big screen or advanced camera system, you may want to opt for a high-end model from an older generation, like the iPhone 14 Pro Max which will help you save some cash over going for the latest model without sacrificing too much by way of performance.

Where is the best place to buy an iPhone on Black Friday?

Deciding whether you should purchase your new Apple phone through a retailer or directly from your carrier will depend on your situation. If you’re creating a new line or account, you’ll probably want to purchase your iPhone through a major carrier like AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile, where you can score hundreds in savings — though you’ll be locked in to a multi-year contract.

If you’d rather not get locked into a service plan, you’ll probably want to opt for a prepaid deal from a retailer like Walmart. You’ll have to pay for everything upfront, but will also be free to cancel service at any time. And if you’d rather skip the headache of choosing a service plan altogether, you can pick up an unlocked model from Apple or places like Best Buy, which are both offering some solid Apple Black Friday deals right now.
