Today’s best iPhone 12 deals are making it more affordable than ever to purchase Apple’s flagship smartphones. Retailers from AT&T to Verizon are offering iPhone 12 deals for just about every budget. Some cheap iPhone 12 deals are even offering Apple’s device for free.
Currently, the best iPhone 12 deals can be found at Verizon. The carrier is taking up to $750 off all iPhone 12 models with trade-in of an eligible phone and the opening of a new line. Don’t have a device to trade? Alternatively, throughout March you can buy an iPhone 12 and get one free at Verizon. Not to be outdone, AT&T is taking $700 off all iPhone 12 models with an eligible trade-in. We especially like AT&T’s iPhone 12 deals because unlike Verizon’s promo, they’re valid whether you’re a new or current AT&T customer. For instance, after discount, you can get the iPhone 12 mini for free or the iPhone 12 for just $99.
Wireless carriers remain your best option if you want an iPhone 12, particularly, if you’re ready to switch carriers. Even the iPhone 12 deals at retailers like Best Buy or Walmart typically require that you activate your phone with a carrier instead of buying it unlocked. Additionally, the Apple Store will lower the cost of the iPhone 12 if you have a phone to trade in. You can save up to $370 on the iPhone 12 Pro models depending on your trade-in device.
Below you’ll find the best iPhone 12 deals currently available. (And if you’re looking for the best iPhone SE deals, we’ve got you covered there, too.)
