iPhone 13 Deals: From $0 With Trade-In and More

There are some stellar sales on Apple’s previous-gen iPhone 13 models right now.

iPhone 13 deals are much easier to find now that the iPhone 14 has taken its spot as the top-tier model, and if you don’t need Apple’s latest flagship phone you could save a chunk by going for the previous-gen model.

For starters, with a new iPhone on the scene, the iPhone 13 saw a significant price drop, with the base model down to $699 (from $799) and the iPhone 13 Mini also going for $100 less. And with trade-in offers and carrier deals, you can get your hands on an iPhone 13 for much less than that.

Despite no longer being the latest model, the iPhone 13 still packs a punch and would be a solid upgrade for a lot of folks — and it’s still our pick for the best iPhone when it comes to value. It has essentially the same design, screen and A15 Bionic processor as the iPhone 14, as well as 5G support, MagSafe charging and cameras that are on par with those seen on the previous iPhone 12 Pro Max.

If that sounds like the iPhone for you, read on for our top recommendations when it comes to iPhone 13 deals.

What colors does the iPhone 13 come in?

Apple

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini come in six different colors: green, pink, blue, midnight, starlight white and Product Red. Cases come in a much wider range of hues and patterns.

How much does the iPhone 13 cost?

The two available models of the iPhone 13 have different prices that change depending on the amount of storage. Pricing for each model starts at:

  • iPhone 13 Mini: $599
  • iPhone 13: $699

Best iPhone 13 deals

Most retailers and carriers, including Apple itself, are offering great deals on the iPhone 13. If you’ve got an older iPhone that you’re looking to trade in, you can save hundreds on a new model or save with special offers from carriers. We’ve rounded up some of the best deals out there right now.

We’ll keep updating this page as new offers become available, so check back if your carrier or preferred retailer isn’t listed below.

Use Apple’s trade-in service and save hundreds off your iPhone 13 purchase. While its site quotes up to $600 off right now, the higher prices are for handing over an iPhone 13 model, which you’re unlikely to be doing when buying one. The highest price paid for an older model is $420 for the iPhone 12 Pro Max or $300 for the standard iPhone 12. If you’re financing the purchase, Apple will apply the trade-in amount as credit after it has inspected the device you send in, or it will refund the trade-in amount to your original purchasing method if you paid in full upfront.

Grab an iPhone 13 from $10 per month via AT&T without having to trade in an old device. The deal requires that you activate or maintain eligible unlimited wireless service with the $370 discount being applied via bill credits over 36 months. Similar promotions are available for the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, though the discount figure isn’t as high at $280 and $200, respectively. 

Verizon is offering up to $600 off the iPhone 13 Mini (making it effectively free) or $520 off the iPhone 13 (making it $5 per month). You can get in on the savings, which will be applied as bill credits over 36 months, by taking out the device on a new line on an unlimited plan or by upgrading an existing line and trading in your old phone. New customers can also benefit from an extra $200 Verizon credit for switching. Apple Watch and iPad promos are available too, but note that these require their own service plans.

Sprint is offering $730 off the iPhone 13 lineup in bill credits with an eligible trade-in and a new line. That means you could get the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Mini for free there, effectively, or pay as little as $7 monthly for a Pro model.

Unsurprisingly, it’s a similar deal at T-Mobile, with up to $730 off with an eligible trade in and a new line. Existing customers can trade in their old device and get up to $400 off. Other promotions include a buy-one-get-$700-off-another sale and a free Apple Watch SE with iPhone purchase (though you’ll need a new line of service for that device, too).

Verum Mail: Temporary Email for Those Who Value Privacy in the Digital Age

Verum Mail: Temporary Email for Those Who Value Privacy in the Digital Age

In a world where every click can leave a digital trace, more and more users are looking for ways to protect their personal information. Online registrations, file downloads, trial services — all of these typically require providing an email address. And then the familiar scenario begins: endless newsletters, spam, ads, and data leaks.

The new app Verum Mail offers a simple and elegant solution to this problem — anonymous, temporary email without registration or digital footprints.

What is Verum Mail

Verum Mail is a mobile app that allows users to create temporary email addresses with a single tap. Messages arrive instantly, appear in a clean, user-friendly interface, and are automatically deleted after 60 minutes.

No registration, no logins, no account linking — everything is anonymous and secure.

It’s particularly useful when you need to:

  • sign up for a new service without revealing your real email,
  • receive a one-time code or confirmation link,
  • test a product or service without leaving a trace.

Key Features of Verum Mail

  • One-tap creation of a temporary email address
  • Instant delivery of incoming messages without refreshing
  • Automatic deletion after 60 minutes
  • Option to reply directly within the app
  • Support for both HTML and plain text
  • Push notifications for new messages
  • Responsive interface for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

Integration with Verum Messenger

One of the major advantages of the Verum Messenger is its seamless integration with Verum Mail. Users can now create temporary email addresses and receive messages directly inside the messenger.

This is especially convenient for anyone frequently signing up for services or who prefers not to share their primary email.

Fewer app switches mean more control over privacy.

Why It Matters

The growing number of cyberattacks, data breaches, and targeted advertising has made digital security a necessity rather than a luxury. Temporary email addresses are a simple but powerful tool for reducing risk and maintaining control over personal information.

Verum Mail is not just about hiding your real email. It’s about adopting a more mindful and secure approach to your online life.
