Want a new iPhone? These are the best Black Friday deals you’re going to find
Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year, and it’s often the best time to get a good deal on a new iPhone, accessories, or other Apple gear.
While Black Friday is really just the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, it has grown into an entire season unto itself, with sales extending several days after and well into December. Officially, Black Friday is Friday, November 29, and extends through Cyber Monday on Monday, December 2. But you’ll find deals that start earlier and end later and they are better than ever now we are in Black Friday Week.
We check prices on iPhone models all year round, so at any point you can check out our best iPhone deals article for up-to-date info on the top deals. We have separate advice for readers looking to buy an iPhone 16 the U.S. and the U.K.
In fact, if you want one of the latest iPhone 16 models you can already save money with the U.K. Black Friday deals, see below for details.

iPhone deals for Black Friday 2024: Our advice
Apple’s newest iPhones are the iPhone 16 ($799/£799), 16 Plus ($899/£899), 16 Pro ($999/£999), and 16 Pro Max ($1,199/£1,199). It is unlikely that we will see large discounts on these new iPhones over Black Friday, but any saving is worth having.
The iPhone 15 ($699/£699) and 15 Plus ($799/£799) and 14 ($599/£599) and 14 Plus ($699/£699) are still offered for sale, as well as the iPhone SE ($429/£419). It is likely that most of the deals will be on these older iPhone handsets. You can save some money by buying an older iPhone, but you’ll be giving up some newer features, most notably Apple Intelligence.
The only phones capable of Apple Intelligence are the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the set of iPhone 16 handsets. This might not matter to you now, but it may do in the future, so just keep this in mind when making your purchase. If you see an offer on the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max we recommend buying one. These were great phones, capable of Apple Intelligence. The leap from iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 16 Pro is not nearly as big as that from the iPhone 15 to iPhone 16.
We don’t recommend buying an iPhone SE even if it’s free through a carrier as it’s several years old and is due to get an update in early 2025.

iPhone deals from U.S. carriers for Black Friday 2024
In the U.S., the only big iPhone deals you can find come from carriers, and have a lot of strings attached. Typically, you have to buy a phone on a multi-year installment plan and get your discount in the form of monthly bill credits. These might change over Black Friday, but the offers are likely to still have strings attached.
These are the deals that are available from the three major U.S. carriers. Conditions always apply here–you may need to have a specific plan, open a new line, or trade in a device. Most U.S. carrier deals require you to buy the phone on an installment plan, and then you get the discount as bill credits toward your monthly payment.
AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan.
T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 16 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan.
Verizon: Get up to $100 in bill credits toward any iPhone 16 Pro model with a trade-in and the activation of a new line on the Ultimate Unlimited plan.
Amazon: Amazon has partnered with Boost Infinite, a new carrier owned by Dish that primarily uses T-Mobile and AT&T towers for now. $65/mo gets you a free iPhone 16 Pro and unlimited talk, text, and data. Restrictions apply.
