If you’ve been eying up a potential upgrade, then this week’s early Black Friday iPhone deals could tempt you into one of the latest models. Verizon and T-Mobile have already launched massive sales with some of the best deals all year on the iPhone 17 series.

You can see all of this week’s best early Black Friday iPhone deals just down below alongside some buying advice for our readers.

Highlights include massive discounts of up to $1,100 on the iPhone 17 series, free iPads and Apple Watches, and some great bonuses for switching carriers. Interestingly, most of the best deals this week don’t require the usual trade-in criteria, so they’re a little more accessible than normal.

With that said, most of the big price cuts here do require a pricey unlimited plan. If you’re looking for alternatives, then scroll down to see some cheaper Black Friday iPhone deals, as well as my recommendations for plan-only deals, in case you want to port over an unlocked device.
