Apple Phone Contract Deals

The latest Apple phone contract deals offer significant discounts and varying perks depending on the carrier and the specific iPhone model. For instance, Verizon is currently offering the iPhone 16 Pro Max for free when you open a new unlimited line on their Ultimate plan, with no trade-in required. Additionally, this plan provides a free iPad and Apple Watch bundle^[2]. AT&T offers deals such as the iPhone 16e or iPhone 15 for $5.99 per month with an unlimited plan, plus up to $200 in bill credits^[2]. Boost Mobile allows customers to bundle a new iPhone 16 Pro with an unlimited data plan for $65 per month, which includes a device upgrade^[2].

Apple itself provides a trade-in program where you can get up to $630 off a new iPhone 15 if trading in the latest model, or up to $450 off when trading in older models. Additionally, Apple’s financing options like the iPhone Upgrade Program allow you to pay in monthly installments and upgrade to a new model each year^[1][3]. For example, you can get the iPhone 16 for as low as $42.41 per month, or the iPhone 16 Pro starting at $52.83 per month through this program, which also includes AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss coverage^[3]. All major carriers—including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Boost Mobile—participate in Apple’s carrier deals^[4][5].

T-Mobile offers to pay off your current device (up to $800 per line) and provide a new iPhone 16 on eligible plans, with early bill credits ending if the device finance agreement is settled early^[6]. Metro by T-Mobile also has budget-friendly prepaid deals, such as the iPhone 14 for $99.99 or the iPhone 15 for $529.99^[7].

In summary, consumers can choose between directly purchasing from Apple—utilizing trade-ins and financing—or opting for contract deals from major U.S. carriers, which often bundle device discounts with unlimited plans and additional incentives like free accessories or bill credits. Carrier-specific requirements such as new line activation, unlimited plan selection, and promotional eligibility terms apply and may impact overall deal value^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]}.
