Best iPhone SE Deals: Save Up to $579 at Apple, Get $430 Off at Verizon

The latest model of Apple’s affordable iPhone SE is a great value. And there are plenty of deals and offers for you to get your hands on one for even less.

While the iPhone 14 is the latest and greatest in Apple’s flagship lineup, it’s not the only iPhone worthy of attention. Last year, Apple also released the third generation of its budget-friendly iPhone SE series starting at just $429 — nearly half the price of the $829 iPhone 14.

Even with its affordable price, the iPhone SE (2022) offers the same user-friendly interface and smooth performance you’ve come to expect from any product in Apple’s lineup. And with so many offers and deals from both carriers and retailers, you’ll have no trouble getting your hands on one at a discount. Some sellers are even offering a chance to grab the iPhone SE for free, though you’ll jump through a hoop or two to get those deals.

One of the biggest upgrades to the newest version of the iPhone SE is that it supports 5G, so you’ll be able to get faster data speeds while out and about (if you’re in a 5G-compatible area). Apple upgraded the processor to its A15 Bionic chip, and it has the same tough glass that’s used on the iPhone 14 series. It has the same overall size and design as the previous model, which means there’s a Touch ID sensor on the front. A 12-megapixel camera on the back is even more powerful thanks to the A15 processor.

What colors does the iPhone SE come in?

The iPhone SE is available in midnight (black), starlight (white) and Product Red.
