Verizon's latest free iPhone 11 promo is one of the best iPhone deals this year

Quietly tucked away over at the carrier's site is perhaps one of the best Verizon iPhone deals ever on the slightly older (but still exceptional) iPhone 11. Right now you can pick up this flagship device for free with a new unlimited plan and line with a total saving of $699.

Free iPhone deals over at Verizon aren't particularly rare - it's actually a common promotion. However, we're used to seeing this sort of 'free with a new line' promotion on cheaper devices, like the iPhone SE or iPhone XR - not on flagship devices like the iPhone 11. Even if this device is a little older now, it's still a very powerful phone indeed, and, since it still retails for $699.99 new (compared to the SE's $399), you're getting absolutely stellar bang for the buck here. 

There are two caveats we'd point out here. One: you'll need to be signing up to a new unlimited data plan plus a new line specifically to be eligible (no upgrades), and two: the iPhone 11 isn't 5G compatible. That second one won't be a deal breaker for some, especially since 4G is still pretty damn speedy, but bear in mind you won't be getting the fastest speeds possible on the Verizon network. For that, you'll need to consider Verizon's iPhone deals on the iPhone 12 series.

Perhaps the best kept secret on the entire Verizon site this week is the carrier's latest promotion on the venerable (but still amazing) iPhone 11. Right now you can get this 2019 flagship device for absolutely free with a new unlimited data plan with no trade-ins needed at all. Note - you will however need to be getting this with a new line, so upgrade options are limited for existing customers, unfortunately.
