You don’t have to pay full price to buy an iPhone; if you shop around you can find a bargain. Every month the Macworld team hunts down the best prices on iPhones at all major retailers and cellphone operators, saving you the hassle of finding the best iPhone deals.
In this article, we reveal the best iPhone deals, contracts, and bundles available right now. We’ll help you find a discounted iPhone suitable for any budget, and cover all the currently available models, including the brand-new iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, as well as 2023’s iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. We also have the best prices for older iPhones, including models that Apple has removed from sale, but which you can still buy elsewhere.
The iPhone 16 is the latest iPhone to arrive, debuting in September 2024. It will be followed in 2025 by the iPhone 17 and (probably) iPhone SE 4.

Best iPhone deals right now
U.S.
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.
- AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan. Up to $700 towards an iPhone 15 or 15 Plus.
- T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 15 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan.
- Verizon: Get up to $839 in bill credits toward any iPhone 15 model with trade-in and the activation of a new line.
U.K.
In the U.K., Apple-certified resellers discount unlocked iPhones frequently. Look for money off at Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, and Very.
There aren’t yet any discounts on the new 16-series iPhones, but in the U.K. it’s possible to find discounts on older iPhones, including the now-discontinued iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro.
- John Lewis, iPhone 15 (128GB): £681 (£18 off, RRP £699) plus two-year guarantee
- John Lewis, iPhone 15 Plus (128GB): £793.61 (£5.39 off, RRP £799)
- Argos, iPhone 15 Pro (128GB): £899 (RRP was £999, DISCONTINUED)

For models that Apple no longer sells, bear in mind that we can only compare current prices against RRPs from before their discontinuation. It’s reasonable to assume that the price of the iPhone 15 Pro, for example, would have dropped in September 2024 if Apple hadn’t stopped selling it. There’s more information in the individual sections below.
Where to buy an iPhone
Apple is the obvious place to look for a new iPhone. You can purchase directly from Apple’s online store (there’s a separate U.K. store), which won’t give you savings, but does at least allow you to take advantage of trading in your old iPhone (see: How to sell or trade-in your old iPhone). We also have a complete guide to every iPhone Apple sells.
Alternatively, Amazon U.K. regularly discounts iPhone models, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out there. If you think you’ll be doing lots of Amazon shopping, we’d recommend signing up to the 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime for free next-day delivery and access to deals 30 minutes early. You can sign up here.
Amazon U.S. offers fewer savings on SIM-free iPhones, but we do see them from time to time.
It’s always worth checking the price of the iPhones in the following U.S. stores, which occasionally provide solid savings:
And U.K. readers should try these shops:

Deals on older/discontinued iPhones
When Apple introduced the iPhone 15 range it discontinued the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It also stopped selling the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 mini. When Apple stops selling older iPhones in its store, however, that doesn’t mean they have disappeared entirely; you may find them in Apple’s refurbished store, for example. You may also find older handsets on sale at third-party stores and Apple resellers. We have the best deals for discontinued iPhones below.

Check the automated price table below for the lowest prices currently available from other retailers:
Best iPhone 13 mini deals
Apple’s last ‘mini’ was the iPhone 13 mini. The smallest iPhone you could buy, although the SE is also on the small side. In most respects, it was identical to the iPhone 13, simply squeezed into a smaller chassis and equipped with a smaller screen and smaller battery. That means you’re getting a great (but non-ProMotion) screen, 5G, a super-fast A15 processor and great cameras with Cinematic Mode. Read our iPhone 13 mini review for more information and expert analysis.
Apple no longer sells the iPhone 13 mini, so if it’s what you want you will need to look around.
Before it was discontinued in fall 2023, Apple used to sell it for $599/£649 (and before that it cost $699/£679). Check our automated table for the latest offers:
Best iPhone 12 deals
Having launched in 2020, the iPhone 12 remained on Apple’s store until fall 2023, when it was finally discontinued. In our iPhone 12 review we praised its all-round qualities and suitability for the average buyer who doesn’t need the power of a Pro but won’t settle for a true budget pick like the iPhone SE.
Apple no longer sells the the iPhone 12, but when it did, prices started at $599/£649 (down from the $699/£679 charged between September 2021 and 2022).
