1 Carrier Deals
Similar to Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program, many carriers have financing deals that can help you get a new device at a low monthly price. This is a great option for those who want to use their current carrier or those switching carriers. Often switching to a new carrier results in some pretty good deals.
You may also want to check for deals on certified refurbished or certified preowned iPhones. You’ll have to pay the full price up front, but this option could end up saving you a couple hundred dollars as carriers don’t usually offer payment plans on phones that aren’t new.
One thing to keep in mind is that carriers will often run a credit check and possibly charge interest. They may also require in-house insurance which may or may not be as good as AppleCare+.
Check out some options from the largest cellular carriers below.
AT&T
AT&T is currently offering a ‘Buy One Get One Free’ deal on iPhone 8 when you purchase the phone for $699.00 or $23.34/month and sign a two-year contract with AT&T Next. To get this deal you must also have DirectTV and have a service package of $29.99 or more per month.
Verizon
Verizon is currently offering $300 off a new iPhone when you sign up or add a new line. If you are already a Verizon customer you won’t be able to use this deal. But, you can upgrade your iPhone to the latest version by trading in your old phone for $100 off. Verizon is also offering six months of Apple Music for free with an iPhone purchase.
T-Mobile
Although T-Mobile currently doesn’t have any mind-blowing sales going on some of their financing options are worth looking in to. You can purchase an iPhone 8 for zero down and $29.17 per month for 24 months. An iPhone X is currently $279 down and $30 per month. If you are also in the market for a new iPad to go along with your new iPhone , you can save $350 off a new iPad when you also purchase an iPhone.
Sprint
Currently you can buy a new iPhone 8 from Sprint for just $8 per month or an iPhone 8 Plus for $12 a month. You can lease the phone at those prices for 18 months and then return it for the newest model, or purchase it by paying the remaining balance over six months, or in one lump sum. The contract includes Sprint’s iPhone Forever Program, which is similar to the Apple Upgrade Program and allows you to upgrade to the latest model after making at least 12 months of payments.
