Black Friday is one of the best times to buy an iPhone, especially if you’re hoping to save on an older generation (like the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, or iPhone 12). Still, you’ll find tons of Black Friday deals on the latest iPhone model this year from various retailers and phone carriers. In 2023, we saw refurbished iPhones for as low as $299 and an iPhone 13 bundle with headphones and other accessories for as low as $499.

I put together this guide to help you navigate the top Black Friday sales and score the best prices in 2024. And be sure to check out our other posts for saving big on Apple products too:

What are the best stores for Black Friday iPhone deals?

If you’re looking to buy an iPhone from a retailer (and not directly from a carrier), Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have the best iPhone Black Friday deals year after year. Surprisingly, Amazon iPhone deals aren’t nearly as good as other major retailers. Usually, you can only find refurbished or renewed iPhones when shopping on Amazon. The same goes for their clearance site Woot, though Woot’s prices will be significantly cheaper.

You’ll find carrier-specific Black Friday deals at these stores, like up to $1,000 off the latest devices. You’ll also find free gift card deals with certain iPhone purchases on Black Friday, like a free Target Gift Card with your iPhone SE purchase from various carriers. In previous years, you could trade up to a new iPhone at Costco and get up to $520 on a Costco Shop Card.

Do some phone carriers have even better iPhone Black Friday deals?

Don’t limit your search for holiday shopping season deals to the big retailers. You can bank on individual phone carriers running deals on the latest iPhone models for Black Friday too.

Sometimes, phone carriers will even sweeten the deal with a free pair of AirPods or Beats Studio earbuds with your purchase. If you’re not interested in buying the new iPhone in 2024, many carriers (like Verizon and AT&T) will offer even better deals on older-generation iPhones.

2. How can I save up to 32% when on refurbished iPhones from Apple.com?

You won’t be able to score a brand-new device, but refurbished iPhones from Apple are tested and certified with a 1-year warranty. Refurbished iPhones may even work better and last longer than new devices since they’ve gone through an extra set of testing.

3. Which retailers have holiday deals on iPhone accessories?

Apple doesn’t have an actual Black Friday sale, so you won’t find big discounts on chargers, cases, and other iPhone accessories. Instead, look for Cyber Monday deals at the other top players, like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy.

4. Are there other Apple holiday deals to watch for?

If you’re not in the market for an iPhone, no stress. Tons of other tech goods go on sale for the holiday season. Be sure to check out our other guides to getting the best deals on top-selling Apple devices:
