Best Black Friday iPhone deals 2025: I’ve hand-picked the biggest price cuts from Apple, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others

This week’s best Black Friday iPhone deals cover everything from the latest iPhone 17 series to slightly older (but still great) devices. In short, regardless of your needs, you’ve got plenty of choice today; which is why I’m rounding everything up into one neat package right here on this page.

My list of the best Black Friday iPhone deals includes big carrier options from the likes of T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T, as well as Apple’s official deals and options at smaller carriers. I’ve made sure to break down the various eligibility criteria and provide buying tips and advice where I can, too.

Highlights today include a free iPhone 17 Pro Max without a trade-in at Verizon, free iPads and Apple Watches at T-Mobile, and discounts of up to $1,100 at AT&T. Apple has just announced its big seasonal event, too, with $75 gift cards being included with iPhone 16 purchases from November 28th onward. Annoyingly, the iPhone 17 is excluded from the brand’s gifting event, which is par for the course with Apple, unfortunately.

As someone who tracks the best iPhone deals all year round, this week’s promotions are particularly strong. Take note, however, that the biggest discounts require the usual unlimited plans, switches, or trade-ins to be eligible. I’ve made sure to include all the various deals so our readers are properly informed.

What model does TechRadar recommend?

Are expensive unlimited plans worth it?

This is a massive subject unto itself, and annoyingly, the answer depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re well covered, looking for the quickest download speeds possible, and can make use of the various extras and perks, then the pricier plans are arguably worth it – especially if you’re getting a free iPhone upgrade.

I’d say the big carrier plans at Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are particularly good if you’re looking for multiple lines, as they all offer significant discounts for multi-line plans. If you’re just looking for a single line on a budget, however, then going for a prepaid carrier might be a stronger option.

For example, you could trade in an old device for a discount of up to $670 on an unlocked iPhone 17 at Apple, then port that over to a cheaper carrier. There are a few excellent options on the market right now, thanks to today’s Black Friday deals, which I’ve included just below.
