Cellular carriers in the United States regularly provide discounts and offers on numerous models of Apple's iPhone. As of 2022, that means you can find solid bargains on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone SE, and many more at AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 in September 2022 and the new iPhone SE in March 2022, and we're tracking new offers on these smartphones below. All major carriers have various discounts, offers, and savings on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, so be sure to look for more details in each carrier's section.
Carrier deals do have some downsides, in regards to how many stipulations come with obtaining the discounts. But if you're looking to sign up for a new contract, switch carriers, or buy multiple iPhones at once, you can likely find a few solid bargains at these companies.
In this guide, we'll break down offers by carriers, and also include a few sales related to refurbished devices. In regards to these sales, the best refurbished discounts are typically related to older iPhone models, but you can still occasionally find refurbished sales on current generation models as well.
