Best iPhone deals for November 2024: latest 16 series, free devices, and more

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: $33.33 $5/mo with an unlimited plan, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
If you're looking for a Pro-level device, right now the best deal is Verizon's early Black Friday promo on the stunning iPhone 16 Pro Max. For the first time ever you can currently get this device for just $5/mo alongside a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan without the need for a trade. This equates to a total saving of over $1,000 and you can also bundle in a free Apple Watch and iPad if you're willing to pay the $15/mo extra a month for their cellular lines. While the plan is still pretty pricey here the savings are potentially massive. Other excellent iPhone deals on the latest series also include AT&T's trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 and Apple's own $650 trade-in rebate, which is the only choice for unlocked devices right now, unfortunately.

Buy it if:
✅ You want the latest and greatest device
✅ You also want a high-end unlimited plan

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: free with a new unlimited line plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Here's low-key one of the best iPhone deals on the entire Verizon site right now. The stunning (and still good) iPhone 15 Pro Max is currently available for free alongside either an Ultimate OR Plus unlimited plan. The 'Or' is the critical part of this deal here because the Plus plan is a lot cheaper than the high-tier Ultimate plan - meaning you can bag this extremely high-end device for a relatively reasonable monthly price. Note that you can also throw in that free iPad and Apple Watch here as long as you're willing to pay for those additional cellular lines.

Buy it if:
✅ You want a premium device
✅ But, you don't want a pricey plan

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: device plus unlimited plan for $65/mo at Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile's Infinite Access for iPhone plan is so, so strong if you're looking for the cheapest possible way to bag one of the latest devices without a trade-in. This plan allows you to bundle in a new iPhone 16 Pro right now alongside an unlimited data plan for just $65/mo and get a free device upgrade when the time comes. The caveat here is that Boost's unlimited data plan isn't quite as speedy as some of those found at the major carriers and is slightly more limited in terms of perks and 5G data allowance. For $65/mo though? This is super cheap.

Buy it if:
✅ You want the latest device
✅ You want a cheap plan on the side

Apple iPhone 14: $799 $599, plus up to $650 off with a trade-in at Apple
Now the iPhone 16 has officially arrived, the older models have received a healthy upfront discount at Apple. For my money, the iPhone 14 is an absolute steal at its new retail price of just $599 upfront. Yes, it's a little older now but it's still an absolutely solid phone that performs well across a wide range of applications. It's still officially supported too - and is available with a decent trade-in rebate just like all the other iPhones at Apple right now.

Buy it if:
✅ You're fine with an older model
✅ You haven't decided on a plan

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (unlocked): $429, plus up to $650 off with a trade-in at Apple
Looking for a cheap iPhone deal? Here's what we recommend. Firstly, either buy the iPhone SE 2022 outright at Apple itself or trade-in for an additional discount on this excellent budget iOS device. Secondly, we'd recommend pairing up your device with one of the best prepaid plans on the market. We'd particularly recommend Mint Mobile or Visible as great options thanks to their super cheap plans ranging from $15 to $45 per month on average currently. While you'll have to pay quite a bit for your device upfront here, this is a good route if you're aiming to save as much cash in the long run - and you won't be tied down for a two or three-year plan at a major carrier.

Buy it if:
✅ You're looking for flexibility and value
✅ You don't mind paying upfront

Apple iPhone SE 2022: $379.99 $149.99 with a plan at Straight Talk
What makes the perfect pairing with a cheap prepaid plan? It's the affordable (but extremely capable) iPhone SE 2022. Right now, one of the best options is over at the carrier Straight Talk, which is offering the device for just $149 upfront when you bring your number over from a carrier. Straight Talk has plans for as little as $35 per month so it's a fantastic choice if you want to keep those bills as low as possible. Note that another great alternative to this Straight Talk deal is iPhone SE 2022 at Total By Verizon for $149. By comparison, Total has slightly higher-priced plans - but some may prefer to be on the Verizon network for coverage reasons.

Buy it if:
✅ You want a cheap all-in-one option
✅ Don't mind going for a prepaid carrier

Apple iPhone 16 deals
This is our page for all the latest deals on the brand new iPhone 16 series. Alongside brand new chipsets, upgraded cameras, and a range of eye-catching new colors, these flagships bring to the fore a new focus on AI integration. Subsequently, they're not just the most feature-packed iPhones yet, but also arguably the smartest.

iPhone 15 deals / iPhone 15 Plus deals
The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are still outstanding buys for 2024. Outwardly, they're almost identical to the latest models, although they do lack the very latest components and computational features. Still, a great buy - and one that's much cheaper now thanks to recent price cuts from Apple and other retailers.

iPhone 15 Pro deals / iPhone 15 Pro Max deals
Last year's flagship devices, carrying the lion's share of upgrades for the 2023 generation. With a powerful chipset, 5x camera zoom, and a titanium chassis, these are still outstanding devices and worth every penny - especially if you can line up a great trade-in deal.

iPhone 14 deals / iPhone 14 Plus deals
The iPhone 14 may not be the latest device in the range now the iPhone 15 has been released but it's still a fantastic choice. Now $200 cheaper upfront at Apple, carriers are also offering some superb deals on this older device now - including ones that don't need the usual trade-in rebate.

iPhone 13 deals
The iPhone 13 is the Apple flagship from 2021 but it's still knocking around at a few select retailers. Not only is the chipsets inside and cameras decent, but the iPhone 13 share a design that is outwardly identical to the newer iPhone 14. If you're looking to save a bit of cash, this one is still worth considering depending on the deal.

iPhone SE 2022 deals
Apple's latest budget-focused device is here and 2022's iteration of the iPhone SE brings a number of welcome updates. Above all else, the A15 Bionic chip in this device gives it superb power to cost and enough grunt to easily zip through nearly any task. It is, however, rocking an oldschool design - one that's essentially based on the iPhone 8 from way back in 2017. Is this the right device for you? Check out our standalone piece for a full breakdown of this budget pick.
