Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the season, and it’s often the best time to get a good deal on all the tech gadgets you’re looking for. In 2022 Black Friday was officially on November 25, but it has sort of become an entire “season” unto itself, with sales extending several days before and after, and often changing over time.
We typically see Black Friday deals starting in early November, and culminating in the post-Thanksgiving weekend. In 2023 Black Friday falls on November 24 and Cyber Monday on November 27. In the weeks leading up to Black Friday–and on Black Friday itself–we expect to see some good deals. Often, you can save hundreds on a new iPhone, or even get it free, if you trade in an old phone and are willing to stay on a certain plan at a certain carrier for a couple years.
Return here in 2023 as November approaches for the best deals we can find. If you want to buy an iPhone sooner, we’ve got you covered with the Best iPhone deals this month.
We don’t yet know what deals you’ll find for Black Friday in 2023, but to give you a better sense of what you might expect, these are all the deals from 2022:
Black Friday: Apple’s shopping event
Apple generally holds a four-day shopping event around the Black Friday weekend, where you can get an Apple gift card for buying certain items–the amount depends on the item purchased. In 2022, the event was from November 25-28 and you could get a $50/£50 Apple Gift Card for buying an iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, or iPhone SE. The iPhone 14 line is excluded from any offers.
Black Friday: U.S. carrier deals
These are the current deals from the three major U.S. carriers, but they might change (or be enhanced) for a few days around Black Friday. Conditions always apply here–you may have to have a specific plan, open a new line, or trade in a device. Most U.S. carrier deals require you to buy the phone on an installment plan, and then you get the discount as bill credits toward your monthly payment.
- AT&T: Get up to $800 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 14 and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan.
- T-Mobile: Get up to $800 in bill credits when you buy an iPhone and trade in an eligible device, with a Magenta MAX plan.
