Want a new iPhone? These are the best Black Friday deals you’re going to find

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year, and it’s often the best time to get a good deal on a new iPhone, accessories, or other Apple gear.

While Black Friday is really just the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, it has grown into an entire season unto itself, with sales extending several days after and well into December. Officially, Black Friday is Friday, November 29, and extends through Cyber Monday on Monday, December 2. But you’ll find deals that start earlier and end later and they are better than ever now we are in Black Friday Week.

iPhone deals for Black Friday 2024: Our advice

Apple’s newest iPhones are the iPhone 16 ($799/£799), 16 Plus ($899/£899), 16 Pro ($999/£999), and 16 Pro Max ($1,199/£1,199). It is unlikely that we will see large discounts on these new iPhones over Black Friday, but any saving is worth having.

The iPhone 15 ($699/£699) and 15 Plus ($799/£799) and 14 ($599/£599) and 14 Plus ($699/£699) are still offered for sale, as well as the iPhone SE ($429/£419). It is likely that most of the deals will be on these older iPhone handsets. You can save some money by buying an older iPhone, but you’ll be giving up some newer features, most notably Apple Intelligence.

The only phones capable of Apple Intelligence are the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the set of iPhone 16 handsets. This might not matter to you now, but it may do in the future, so just keep this in mind when making your purchase. If you see an offer on the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max we recommend buying one. These were great phones, capable of Apple Intelligence. The leap from iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 16 Pro is not nearly as big as that from the iPhone 15 to iPhone 16.

We don’t recommend buying an iPhone SE even if it’s free through a carrier as it’s several years old and is due to get an update in early 2025.

iPhone deals from U.S. carriers for Black Friday 2024

In the U.S., the only big iPhone deals you can find come from carriers, and have a lot of strings attached.

T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 16 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan.
Verizon: Get up to $100 in bill credits toward any iPhone 16 Pro model with a trade-in and the activation of a new line on the Ultimate Unlimited plan.
