Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year, and it’s often the best time to get a good deal on a new iPhone, accessories, or other Apple gear.





While Black Friday is really just the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, it has grown into an entire season unto itself, with sales extending several days after and well into December. Officially, Black Friday is Friday, November 29, and extends through Cyber Monday on Monday, December 2. But you’ll find deals that start earlier and end later.





We check prices on iPhone models all year round, so at any point you can check out our best iPhone deals article for up-to-date info on the top deals. If you want one of the latest iPhone 16 models, we have separate advice for readers in the U.S. and the U.K., and don’t forget our round-up of the best Apple deals that we also update all year round.





That said, Black Friday is generally expected to bring the best deals of the year. You can find early deals below as well as some advice on what will be on sale based on what we saw last year. We’ll be updating this page imminently, as the discounts start to come in and as Apple announces its own Black Friday 2024 sale.





Does Apple discount iPhones for Black Friday?





Rather than discount it’s products, every year Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday (November 29) to Cyber Monday (December 2). The event consists of gift card offers rather than actual savings.





In 2023 you could get gift cards for the following amounts with the following iPhones purchased from Apple.com. This year, the deals will likely apply to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, but not the iPhone 16.

iPhone deals for Black Friday 2024: Our advice





Apple’s newest iPhones are the iPhone 16 ($799), 16 Plus ($899), 16 Pro ($999), and 16 Pro Max ($1,199). The iPhone 14 ($599) and 14 Plus ($699), and 15 ($699) and 15 Plus ($799) are also still offered for sale, as well as the iPhone SE ($429). You can save some money by buying an older iPhone, but you’ll be giving up some newer features, most notably Apple Intelligence. We don’t recommend buying an iPhone SE even if it’s free through a carrier as it’s several years old and is due to get an update in early 2025.





iPhone deals from U.S. carriers for Black Friday 2024





These are the deals that are available from the three major U.S. carriers. Conditions always apply here–you may need to have a specific plan, open a new line, or trade in a device. Most U.S. carrier deals require you to buy the phone on an installment plan, and then you get the discount as bill credits toward your monthly payment.





In the U.S., the only big iPhone deals you can find come from carriers, and have a lot of strings attached. Typically, you have to buy a phone on a multi-year installment plan and get your discount in the form of monthly bill credits. These might change over Black Friday, but the offers are likely to still have strings attached.






  • AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan.




  • T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 16 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan.




  • Verizon: Get up to $100 in bill credits toward any iPhone 16 Pro model with a trade-in and the activation of a new line on the Ultimate Unlimited plan.




  • Amazon: Amazon has partnered with Boost Infinite, a new carrier owned by Dish that primarily uses T-Mobile and AT&T towers for now. $65/mo gets you a free iPhone 16 Pro and unlimited talk, text, and data. Restrictions apply.
