Watch this: iPhone 15 Review: A Big Upgrade for Older iPhone Owners

08:21

The latest iPhones include the Dynamic Island, faster processors and upgraded cameras. The iPhone 15 is powered by the A16 Bionic chip for faster speeds and increased efficiency over last year’s model. The iPhone 15 Pro runs on Apple’s A17 Pro chip for even more powerful performance. Other notable changes include a move to USB-C charging, brighter displays and upgraded ultrawideband capabilities. The iPhone 15 Pro also has a customizable action button and a titanium chassis, and there’s a new periscope-style telephoto lens on the larger iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Although there are no straightforward discounts on any of the iPhone 15 series devices, Apple’s trade-in program is offering as much as $620 off when you hand over your old device. The iPhone Upgrade Program or Apple Card financing (and cash back) are also options, and you can save even more when you opt to sign up with a carrier. 

Right now carrier deals through Apple include paying as little as zero dollars with trade-in for either Verizon or T-Mobile and as little as $2.75 per month for AT&T customers. You’ll get up to $700 in bill credits over 36 months, so that gets you the iPhone 15 for free or the 15 Plus for $200. 

Order one of the latest iPhones from Walmart and you can snag the biggest trade-in discount, with as much as $1,100 off the Pro models. The deal requires a qualifying installment plan through either AT&T or Verizon and the trade-in of an eligible device. Note, however, that Walmart’s list prices are $50 above Apple’s retail prices, so the deal is $50 better than those below, rather than $100.

Verizon customers adding a new line on an Unlimited Ultimate plan can save up to $830 on the base iPhone 15, $930 on the iPhone 15 Plus or $1,000 on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max with an eligible trade-in. Existing customers on an Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan who qualify for an upgrade can still save up to $830 on any model with an eligible trade-in — no new line required.

Verizon is also offering some other bonuses, including about $400 off an iPad, or an Apple Watch for $5 a month, when bundled with this purchase. Just note that you’ll need a new line for these devices to take advantage of the offer. 

AT&T customers on a qualifying unlimited plan can save up to $700 on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, or up to $1,000 on the 15 Pro and Pro Max with an eligible trade-in and purchase on an installment plan. Even old and damaged phones with a trade-in value of just $35 or more will net you trade-in savings, so you may be surprised at what that cracked iPhone in your drawer is worth. The discount is applied in the form of bill credits over 36 months, and you’ll have to pay the remaining balance if you cancel service before then. 

T-Mobile is offering quite a few different ways to save on the iPhone 15 series. If you’ve got an old phone to trade in, you can save up to $1,000 if you’re on a Go5G Next plan; $830 if you’re on a Go5G Plus plan; $350 if you’re on a Go5G, Magenta or One rate plan; or $200 if you’re on a different qualifying service plan.

You can also save up to $830 with both a trade-in and a new line of service. And if you need more than one new phone, you can buy one and get up to $700 off another when adding at least one new line of service.

AT&T and Verizon customers can save up to $1,000 on the iPhone 15 series with a trade-in through Best Buy as long as they have or switch to a qualifying unlimited plan. Plus, AT&T customers will save $100 when adding a new line or account. They’ll also get three free months of Apple TV Plus, Apple Fitness Plus and Apple Music, plus four months of Apple Arcade.

Best Buy also has its own trade-in program where you can save up to $1,000 with an eligible trade-in, though the tech retailer isn’t carrying any unlocked models at the moment. 

If you want the standard iPhone 15, you’ll get it for free when you sign up for Boost Infinite’s Infinite Access plan at $60 per month. It’s similar to Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program in that you can upgrade to the newest iPhone each year, but it rolls in unlimited talk, text and 5G data, plus 5GB of data while roaming in Mexico and Canada, and unlimited talk and text from the US to Mexico and Canada. You don’t need to trade in a device to get started, though each annual upgrade requires you to give back the old iPhone. Boost also has the iPhone 15 Plus, Pro and Pro Max available for the same plan. These don’t bring any big savings, but you can buy them on an installment plan. 

Target is offering a number of ways to save on iPhone 15 models. First, you can get up to $830 knocked off the price in the form of bill credits on the iPhone 15 or the 15 Plus. You can also get up to $1,000 off an iPhone Pro or Pro Max. Plus, Target Circle members also get two months of Apple Music free. Additionally, you can save up to $250 when you switch carriers and $50 off an iPhone when you upgrade.
