Buying your iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro directly from Apple can score you a deal. Various financing options are available, including up to $630 off unlocked models with a qualifying trade-in. Or you can opt for a carrier deal via Apple and save as much as $1,000 when you trade in your old phone.

AT&T is offering up to $700 off the iPhone 15, and if you’re hoping for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, you can get up to $1,000 off. You’ll need a qualifying trade-in and an eligible unlimited plan to get the discount. If it’s the iPhone 15 Plus you’re after, you can currently score that for $11 per month with no trade-in required. 

AT&T offers bill credit trade-in on phones valued as little as $35, with phones valued between $35 and $129 netting you $350 in savings, so it’s worth bringing in that older phone you never upgraded.

Right now at Verizon, if you purchase an iPhone 15 and add a new line with the Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan, you will get a promotional credit of $830, which essentially nets you the phone for free. The promotional credit is applied to the account as bill credits over 36 months. You can also trade in a phone to get up to $830 in promo credits, which gets you the iPhone 15 for free. You’ll need the Unlimited Ultimate plan to get this price. In a similar deal, you can get up to $570 off the iPhone 15 Plus with a new line or up to $930 off with trade-in. 

If you want the iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, you can add a new line under the Unlimited Ultimate plan and get up to $1,000 off with a trade in. If you’re an existing customer, you can upgrade to the 15 Pro or Pro Max and save up to $830. 

Plus, when you buy the iPhone 15 you can get up to $460 off the Apple iPad 9th Gen, which is paid in bill credits over 36 months. This gets you the iPad for free, but you’ll have to add a new line for the iPad to qualify. 

T-Mobile is offering quite a few different ways to save on the iPhone 15 series at the moment. 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 or $830 if you’re on a Go5G Plus plan. 

Or you can save up to $830 with both a trade-in and a new line of service. Those with Go5G, Magenta, or One rate plan can get up to $300 off with trade-in. And any customer already on any other existing T-Mobile plan can trade in for up to $200 off. You can also get a BOGO: buy one iPhone 15 series and get the second for $700 when you activate two new qualifying lines. 

Walmart’s carrier offers are among the best deals right now. Snag a trade-in discount through Walmart, with as much as $1,100 off the Pro and Pro Max models and up to $900 off the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. You’ll have to buy on a qualifying installment plan through either AT&T or Verizon and trade in an eligible device to get the savings. Keep in mind that Walmart’s list prices of the iPhone 15 models are $50 higher than Apple’s.

T-Mobile has a few different offers on the iPhone 14, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. If you’ve got an old phone to trade in, you can save up to $1,000 if you’re on the Go5G Next plan, $830 if you’re on the Go5G Plus plan or up to $300 with most other service plans. And if you need a new line, you can save up to $730 with an eligible plan and trade-in. Right now you can also buy one iPhone 14 series device and get a second for $700 when you activate two new qualifying lines.

You can get an iPhone 14 for $6 per month on a qualifying unlimited plan, which will get you up to $514 in bill credits. Or you can get the iPhone 14 Pro for $15 per month or the Pro Max for $20 per month with up to $360 back in bill credits for either device (on an eligible unlimited plan). However the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max were currently out of stock. 

There is currently no deal for the iPhone 14 Plus however you may qualify for trade-in credit. 

Add a new line on a 5G unlimited plan and you’ll get the iPhone 14 for free. The discount comes in bill credits over 36 months and there’s no trade-in required. You can get up to $830 off the iPhone 14 Plus, which nets you the 128GB variant for free. Like the regular 14, you’ll need to add a new line on a qualifying unlimited plant. 

New Verizon customers can also score a couple of big bonuses with their purchase. Between now and March 31, if you buy an iPhone 14 or 14 Plus on an Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plan you can get a free Amazon Fire TV 65-inch Omni Series 4K. There’s also an offer of up to $460 off the new 9th gen iPad. 

Note that Verizon is not carrying the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max. 

You can trade in your current iPhone and get as much as $630 off the iPhone 13. Though if you’re handing over a base iPhone 12, the value is likely to be closer to $300. You can check what an older model will get you on the site. You can also choose to finance your phone and Apple will apply the value as credit, or you can pay the full amount for the phone and Apple will credit your payment method after receiving the old phone. Also, you’ll get 3% back if you pay with an Apple card.

T-Mobile customers adding a new line of service on a qualifying service plan can snag an iPhone 13 for free with either an eligible trade-in or when porting their existing number over from another carrier. Folks only adding a new line can still save 50%, which saves them $315 via bill credits over a 24-month period. If you’re shopping for two lines, you can buy one, get one for up to $700 off.

When you buy the Apple iPhone 13 device and add a new line on the Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plans you will get $630 in promotional credit, which gets you the iPhone 13 128GB for free. 

You can also get up to $460 off the iPad 9th Gen with the purchase of the iPhone 13. 

If you want an unlocked model of the 2022 iPhone SE, you can pick it up for as much as $130 off the list price with an eligible trade-in at Best Buy. 

If you prefer to buy your iPhone right from the source, you can do that with the iPhone SE. Apple has all the carrier models, along with the unlocked one. And if you’re already an iPhone owner looking to switch to the SE, Apple is offering up to $630 when you trade in an iPhone 7 or newer. With a base price of $429, that means you could theoretically get the SE totally free, though you’re probably going to be trading a phone that gets you $40 to $100 off. If your trade-in doesn’t cover the full cost, you can pay the remaining cost in full, or split it into 24 months of interest-free payments when you use an Apple Card during checkout.

When you buy an iPhone SE on a new line with any 5G unlimited plan, you can save $430, which gets you the 64GB model for free. Just note that the discount will be applied in the form of monthly credits over a 36-month period, even if you buy the phone outright. 

Verizon is also up to $460 off the Apple iPad 9th Gen, paid in bill credits, netting you the iPad for free. You will need to add a new line to qualify for this deal, though. 

T-Mobile is offering up to $1,000 off for people on the Go5G Next plan and up to $830 for folks on the Go5G Plus plan, which means you could get the SE for free if you have the right phone to exchange. But because you’re likely trading in an older model, you may not net that much. Those on another qualifying plan can save up to $300 with a trade-in. Another option is a 50% discount when you add a new line. 

Right now Mint Mobile isn’t offering a straightforward discount on the iPhone SE itself, but you can get six months of free wireless when you purchase the phone and add a 12-month data plan with a new line.
