Cyber Monday is imminent, but the Cyber Monday iPhone deals are already here. Apple's phones are excellent devices, but can cost a fair bit. That's why it's always worth waiting for the Cyber Monday phone deals to appear and help you save money.
One such deal is the iPhone 14 Pro for free via trade-in and with Unlimited plans at Verizon, which gets you one of the best phones of the year for nothing assuming you have a valuable-enough device to give in exchange. That's not the end of the offer though, as Verizon will also give you extra money off for switching, or an Apple Watch or iPad too, depending on what you're looking for.
If you'd prefer to go with Apple itself, the Apple Store's annual Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is running until Monday, November 28. This gets you a $50 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 or iPhone SE (2022). It's a shame there's no discount, but this is still unusually generous of Apple and worth taking advantage of.

Tips for finding the best Cyber Monday iPhone deals
- Start with mobile carriers: Mobile carriers tend to offer the best Cyber Moday iPhone deals. There is one catch — in order to get their best deals, you'll have to switch to their service. In some instances, you may also have to sign up for an unlimited plan or trade-in an older phone.
- Trade-in your old phone for credit: If you have an older phone to trade in, many carriers will give you a generous credit that could range from $100 to as high as $1,000 off. As a result, it pays to keep your smartphone's cables, box, and accessories in good condition so you can get the most from your trade-in.
- Check out MVNOs: Short for mobile virtual network operator, MVNOs operate on the infrastructure of existing networks. For instance, Verizon-owned Visible works on Verizon's network, whereas Mint Mobile uses T-Mobile's network. MVNOs offer less costly plans than their bigger counterparts. In some instances, there are some trade-off such as less readily available customer support or slightly slower data speeds.
- Don't be afraid of refurbs: Apple offers some of the best refurbs in the industry. They refurbish their iPhone to look like new and we especially like the company's refurbs because they're all backed by the same 1-year warranty you'd get with a new Apple device.
Will Apple feature Cyber Monday discounts on iPhones?
Apple typically doesn't lower prices on iPhones for Cyber Monday. Instead, as Apple announced for its four-day sales event, you can get gift cards ranging from $50 to $200 for buying different Apple products. Specifically, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini will qualify for a $50 gift card.
