The annual Presidents' Day sales are usually known for their discounts on home items, but there are some fantastic deals on tech right now -  take Verizon's current promotion on the iPhone 15, for example.

Right now, you can pick up the latest Apple flagship for free alongside a new unlimited data plan - easily the best carrier deal yet for the device. Previously, you needed to trade in a device to be eligible for a free iPhone 15, so this particular promotion has a much, much lower barrier to entry.

Alongside a free phone, customers at Verizon can also bundle in an Apple iPad 10.2 and Apple Watch SE right now, two freebies that equate to over $600 in value by themselves. There is a slight caveat here, however, in that additional device lines are paid separately from your main phone line, so you'll have to pay extra to connect your devices to the cellular plan.

Still, this might just be the strongest set of iPhone 15 deals yet from Verizon. Right now, it's easily the strongest carrier promotion and one that's perfect if you were thinking about making the switch but didn't have an eligible device ready to trade in.
