If you've been eying up the iPhone 15 Pro at Verizon but have been put off by the annoying trade-in criteria needed for a discount, then we've got good news - you can now get a discount of up to $630 on this device outright.

Is it the biggest saving in the world? No - not when compared to the $1,000 off you can get with a trade-in, but it is a decent option if you don't have a decent device ready to hand over. Note, however, that you'll still need a new line on the Unlimited Ultimate plan to be eligible for this deal.

As a side bonus, all customers at Verizon can also throw in a free iPad 9th gen and Apple Watch SE right now - two freebies that add up to over $700 in value by themselves. As with other Verizon deals this week, though, you'll also need to pay for cellular lines for your devices here - which, in this case, is paid separately from your phone line.

If you're aiming for the maximum possible discounts on your new phone, note that the extremely generous trade-in criteria from before still apply to the iPhone 15 Pro. Right now, new lines can get up to $1,000 off with a trade, whereas upgraders can get $830 off - both of which are absolutely fantastic discounts. We'd still recommend this as the best overall way to get a discount on a phone - but Verizon's other new deal is still a great option if you don't want that trade.
