Black Friday season is now well underway, with retailers on both sides of the pond offering Black Friday deals on many of Apple's best iPhones.

In the US, for instance, Best Buy is currently offering the iPhone 14 Plus for just $629.99 (was $729.99), while in the UK, Argos has slashed the price of the still-excellent iPhone 15 Pro to a record-low £849 (was £999).

Below, I've rounded up the best Black Friday iPhone deals currently live, and I'll be regularly updating this page as more discounts appear. If you're after an iPhone 16 deal, specifically, check out our Black Friday iPhone 16 deals page.

Today's best iPhone deals in the US

Apple iPhone 16: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at VerizoniPhone 16 Plus

Apple iPhone 16: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're looking for the standard iPhone 16, the good news is that you don't even need to trade in another device to get one for free right now at Verizon. Eligible with a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan, you'll be saving a massive $829 ($23.05/mo for 36 months) on device costs here. In addition, Verizon is also throwing in an iPad 10.9 (yes, a whole iPad) and an Apple Watch Series 10. Note, however, that you will need to pay an additional accessory cellular line ($10/mo) if you want to claim the free iPad, as well as a one-time activation fee of $35. A similar deal is also available on the iPhone 16 Plus right now.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at VerizoniPhone 16 Pro Max

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: free with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're interested in the Pro models, you'll also find great deals on the iPhone 16 Pro at Verizon right now. There are two options for getting a discount on the phone here; a new line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan will automatically drop the price from $27.77/mo to $0/mo, but you can also trade in for a maximum rebate of up to $1,000 (and not be beholden to the Ultimate plan). Both deals effectively cover the entire cost of the device, and you can also bundle in that iPad and Apple Watch Series 10 (again, for free), as with the deal on the standard iPhone 16 above. A similar offer is also available on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 16
Apple iPhone 16: was $799 now $779

Walmart is offering a measly (but not unwelcome) $20 off the price of the iPhone 16 if you purchase the device alongside a new AT&T or Verizon plan. You'll pay $21.64/mo over 36 months before any additional carrier fees, which works out to $779 (instead of $799) for the device itself. This deal applies to any color variant, and similar savings are on offer for the 256GB and 512GB versions of the iPhone 16.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro
Apple iPhone 16 Pro: was $999 now $949

As with the iPhone 16, Walmart is currently offering money off the iPhone 16 Pro if you purchase the device alongside a new AT&T or Verizon plan. You'll pay $26.37/mo over 36 months before any additional carrier fees, which works out to $949 (instead of $999) for the device itself. Similar deals are available for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Apple iPhone 15 Pro: was $999 now $849

Walmart has slashed the device-only price of the excellent iPhone 15 Pro from $999 to $849 ahead of Black Friday ($23.59/mo over 36 months). You'll need to purchase a suitable AT&T plan to qualify for the saving, but if you're not yet convinced by the iPhone 16 and still fancy taking Apple Intelligence for a spin, this is a great-value handset that'll remain supported with updates until at least 2028.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: was $1,199 now $1,049

As with the iPhone 15 Pro, Walmart is also offering the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max for a cut price ahead of Black Friday. For this deal, you'll need to purchase a suitable Verizon plan to qualify for the saving, but a $29/mo device-only price is reasonable considering that the iPhone 15 Pro Max cost almost double that figure only a year or so ago (even before adding a data plan on top).

Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Apple iPhone 15 Pro: was $999 now $899

Straight Talk's iPhone 15 Pro discount isn't as high as Walmart's, but the carrier's monthly data plans are much, much cheaper. The cheapest possible plan to qualify for this $100 device saving is $35/mo, where you'll have to spend upwards of $50/mo (not including the device cost) on the aforementioned AT&T or Verizon plans at Walmart.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: was $1,199 now $1,099

Straight Talk is also offering a healthy discount on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Again, this device-only price isn't as good as Walmart is offering, but Straight Talk's plans are much more affordable than the AT&T or Verizon plans that Walmart's deal forces you to sign up for.

Apple iPhone 15
Apple iPhone 15: was $729.99 now $579.99

Best Buy has knocked a whopping $150 off the price of the iPhone 15 ahead of Black Friday, though you'll need to purchase a new Verizon or AT&T plan to qualify for the maximum discount. The cheapest right now is $65/mo (or $75/mo until you enroll in paperless billing) plus a $35 activation fee. If you don't want to sign up to a monthly plan, the device alone has been moderately discounted to $679.99. Best Buy is also offering similar deals on the larger iPhone 15 Plus for Black Friday.

Apple iPhone 14
Apple iPhone 14: was $629.99 now $479.99

As with the standard iPhone 15, Best Buy is offering $150 off the price of the iPhone 14 if you sign up for a new Verizon or AT&T plan. The cheapest right now is $65/mo (or $75/mo until you enroll in paperless billing) plus a $35 activation fee. A similar deal is available on the iPhone 14 Plus, which is also the subject of an even better device-only discount (see below).

Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Apple iPhone 14 Plus: was $729.99 now $629.99

Best Buy is offering a sim-free iPhone 14 Plus for just $629.99 ahead of Black Friday, or an even better $529.99 if you buy the phone alongside selected Verizon or AT&T plans. We're less critical of the iPhone 14 Plus versus the standard iPhone 14 given its mightily impressive battery credentials and gorgeous, Pro Max-sized screen, and there's also no iPhone 13 Plus to directly compare it to. You'll get the Dynamic Island and a 48MP camera from the more expensive iPhone 15 Plus, but if you can forgo those features, then the iPhone 14 Plus for $629.99 (or even $529.99!) is a strong Black Friday deal.

Apple  iPhone SE (2022)
Apple iPhone SE (2022): was $429 now $149

If you're simply looking for a capable iPhone to tide you over for the next few years, Straight Talk's excellent iPhone SE (2022) deal could be for you. With the iPhone 13 mini now dead and buried, the iPhone SE (2022) is essentially the best small phone that's still available from Apple. Its design may be outdated, but the internal specs remain strong. You can pick up the phone for just $149 right now from Straight Talk directly or via Walmart's Straight Talk partnership; in either case, you'll need to select a monthly plan (the cheapest right now is $35/mo).

Today's best iPhone deals in the UK

Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Apple iPhone 15 Pro: was £999 now £849

Argos has slashed the device-only price of the excellent iPhone 15 Pro from £999 to a record-low £849 ahead of Black Friday. If you're not yet convinced by the iPhone 16 and still fancy taking Apple Intelligence for a spin, this is a great-value handset that'll remain supported with updates until at least 2028. In fact, I'd argue that this is the biggest Black Friday phone bargain of 2024.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Apple iPhone 15 Pro: was £1,099 now £949

If you'd prefer more storage, Argos has also discounted the 256GB variant of the iPhone 15 Pro to a record-low £949 for Black Friday. That's even better than the current deal prices offered by both Amazon and Laptops Direct, though we don't expect stock to last very long on this one. If you're after a 512GB model, Laptop Direct's £1,199 deal price is still the best around.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: was £1,199 now £1,049

For Apple's larger 15 Pro model, Amazon has the deal-based bragging rights. The mega-retailer is currently offering the 256GB model for just £1,049, and the bigger 512GB model for an impressively low £1,149. Neither of these iPhone 15 Pro Max prices are likely to be beaten on Black Friday itself.

Apple iPhone 16
Apple iPhone 16: was £829 now £779

Giffgaff's pre-Black Friday iPhone 16 promotion is rare in that it saves you money on the device itself, as well as on data (you'll get extra data on various plans for no extra cost). To qualify for the £50 saving, you'll just need to add a monthly plan costing £10 or more. You can also split the device cost over 36 months, so in theory, the best possible iPhone 16 deal here is £30.95/mo for 60GB of data with a £25 upfront payment.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: £44.99/mo at iD Mobile

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: £44.99/mo at iD Mobile
Carphone Warehouse is currently offering a Black Friday deal on iD Mobile's 24-month iPhone 16 Pro plan. For just £44.99/mo and £39 upfront, you'll get a whopping 500GB of data, which is quintuple (5x) the usual 100GB offering. iD Mobile itself also has various discounts on monthly plans, albeit with higher upfront fees than this Carphone Warehouse deal.

Apple iPhone 15: £34.99/mo at iD Mobile

Apple iPhone 15: £34.99/mo at iD Mobile
Another great iD Mobile promotion here: you can pick up the iPhone 15 for just £34.99/mo (was £36.99/mo) and £19 upfront on a 24-month plan. For that price, you'll get 10GB of data and unlimited everything else. If you want more data, similar deals are available on 100GB and Unlimited plans, albeit with higher upfront fees. iD Mobile is currently offering discounted monthly plans for the iPhone 15 Plus, too.

Apple iPhone 14
Apple iPhone 14: was £599 now £549

Amazon continues to knock £50 off the price of the iPhone 14 ahead of Black Friday. This device has been as low as £539 once before, and it may drop to that level again on Black Friday proper, but £549 is still a pretty great deal on a device that cost £699 just a year ago. If stock runs low at Amazon, Argos is currently offering the same deal on a range of colors.

Apple iPhone 13
Apple iPhone 13: was £499 now £449

Despite its discontinuation, Argos is still stocking the 128GB iPhone 13 in black or white. £449 is an exceptional price on an iPhone that is, for all intents and purposes, the same device as the iPhone 14, and it'll continue to be supported by Apple with software updates until at least 2026 (likely 2027). The iPhone 13 is also currently still available at Amazon, albeit in more limited color and storage configurations.

Apple  iPhone SE (2022)
Apple iPhone SE (2022): was £429 now £299

If you're looking for the cheapest possible iPhone on the market right now (one that's worth buying, that is), Laptop Direct's £299 deal on the iPhone SE (2022) is hard to beat. This phone's design may be outdated, but the internal specs remain strong, and it'll continue to be supported with software updates until at least 2027 (likely 2028).

Black Friday iPhone deals: FAQs

When will the Black Friday iPhone deals start in 2024?

Black Friday officially takes place on November 29 this year, but several Black Friday iPhone deals are already live in both the US and UK. As for how long they'll last, Cyber Monday takes place on December 2, but iPhone deals will likely remain active throughout the pre-Christmas period.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy an iPhone?

Apple's best iPhones are rarely cheap, but Black Friday does see some bargains surface from both carriers and retailers selling unlocked iPhones. However, if you're expecting to find a hugely discounted iPhone 16 Pro Max, you may be left disappointed, as we don't expect to see the latest phones get big deals (unless they're part of expensive monthly plans). Rather, Black Friday can be a great time to buy an older iPhone for well below its launch price, and that's already proving to be the case in 2024.

What Black Friday iPhone deals should I expect?

Some carriers are already offering compelling discounts on both the iPhone 16 range and last-generation models, or at least attractive bundles. For unlocked phones, the best deals are coming to older models (think the iPhone SE, iPhone 15, iPhone 14) at the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, Currys, and Argos.
