iPhones are one of the most popular smartphones, and for good reason. They run smoothly, look sleek, and use iOS that so many of us know and love. If you’re looking to upgrade to the latest generation or make the jump to Apple, now is a good time to do so. There are plenty of Cyber Monday iPhone deals to score before the event ends.
We’ve been testing the latest devices since they were released in September, and they definitely perform. They’re not cheap, though, and prices haven’t dropped much since they were released — which is why we’re pleased to see so many iPhone 17 deals available for Cyber Monday. Some sales include freebies, such as iPads and Apple Watches, while others offer the phone for free with eligible cell service plans. You can even score free bundles from Verizon and T-Mobile, although these deals also require that you add lines for the watches and iPads.
Keep scrolling to shop the best Cyber Monday iPhone deals we’ve found so far. And if you’re not done shopping after that, head on over to our roundup of the best Cyber Monday deals.

FAQsCan Cyber Monday iPhone deals actually get me a phone for free?
The short answer is yes, but with some caveats. In most cases, the phone isn’t paid off upfront, but rather through monthly billing credits over time, which means that you’ll be responsible for paying off the remainder of the phone’s cost if you leave your contract early.
That said, as long as you don’t break your contract, you’ll make up the cost of the phone, minus a minimal one-time activation fee. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll still need to pay service fees, including those applicable to eligible bundle devices such as tablets and smartwatches. Most of the offers require that you sign up for specific service plans. As always, we encourage potential customers to read the fine print and exact contract conditions before signing up.
If you’re a frequent phone upgrader, we suggest checking out one of T-Mobile’s iPhone deals, which lock you into a 24-month contract, compared to the standard 36-month contracts at Verizon and AT&T. For a more elaborate comparison of the top carriers, you can explore our guide to the best cell phone plans.
Does my new iPhone need a case?
We almost always recommend getting a case for your phone, even though iPhones have become increasingly durable over the years. They’re expensive enough investments that it’s worth the small price of some added protection. In addition to a case, we recommend investing in a good screen protector, which can help keep even the best phones in pristine condition for as long as possible. This is especially important if you’re locked into a multiple-year contract. Check out our case and screen protector guides below, which have options for all needs and price ranges.
