Carrier Deals
The deepest discounts on phones often come from wireless service providers. Adding new lines or trading in phones are usually the best ways to save. Below are some of the best deals from top carriers:
Verizon
Verizon has tons of “On Us” promotions for Black Friday. That includes a free iPhone 17 Pro, iPad (A16), and Apple Watch Series 11 when signing up for a new phone line on select Unlimited plans, along with tablet and watch plans. Best of all, no trade-in is required, and you could still save over $1,800. Buyers who don't need the tablet and watch can still get a free iPhone 17 Pro when adding a new line on certain Unlimited plans, or an iPhone 17 on some of Verizon’s more basic plans – again, no trade-in required
Verizon is offering effectively the same bundle deal for Samsung Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Watch. Same goes for the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, Tab, and Watch. All of these devices are free when signing up for new lines on select plans, with no trade-in. Verizon is also offering the standard Google Pixel 10 or Samsung Galaxy S25 for free with new lines on more basic plans.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile’s Black Friday sale includes up to four new iPhone 17s for free for subscribers bringing their phone numbers from other carriers to its $25-per-line, per-month Essentials Plan. The carrier is also offering a similar Apple bundle deal to Verizon's, with an iPhone 17 Pro, iPad, and Apple Watch SE for free when adding new lines to select Unlimited plans, albeit with trade-in required for the 17 Pro.
The company is also offering a free Samsung bundle worth $2,299 that includes a Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 FE for an Experience Beyond plan with eligible trade-ins.
