A new batch of cheap iPhone 12 deals is here. Retailers from AT&T to Walmart are offering some of the best iPhone 12 deals of the month, with some retailers offering Apple’s latest smartphone for free.
Currently, the best iPhone 12 deals can be found at Verizon. The carrier is offering up to $1,000 off all iPhone 12 models when you switch to Verizon and trade-in your old phone. They’ll even pay you for your broken phone. Not to be outdone, AT&T is taking $700 off all iPhone 12 models with an eligible trade-in. Unlike Verizon, AT&T’s iPhone 12 deals are valid whether you’re a new or current AT&T customer.

Wireless carriers remain your best option for cheap iPhone 12 deals — particularly if you’re ready to switch networks. Even the iPhone 12 deals at retailers like Best Buy or Walmart typically require that you activate your phone with a carrier instead of buying it unlocked.
iPhone 12 deals and Memorial Day
Memorial Day is rapidly approaching and you can expect to see new iPhone 12 deals as the holiday approaches. Carriers are likely to increase the value of their trade-ins — as we’ve seen with Verizon — or they could offer better dollar-off discounts as Memorial Day sales ramp up. Look for steeper iPhone 12 deals on the base model and the iPhone 12 mini. Make sure to check out our Apple Memorial Day sales coverage — as deals ramp up ahead of the holiday. (And if you’re looking for the best iPhone SE deals, we’ve got you covered there, too.) Otherwise, below you’ll find the best iPhone 12 deals currently available.

iPhone 12 deals — Which model should you get?
The iPhone 12 sports a fast A14 Bionic processor, 5G connectivity, and updated cameras. It also has a new Ceramic Shield glass display that Apple claims is the toughest in the industry. There’s also a new MagSafe charging system.
The iPhone 12 features a 12MP wide lens with a f/1.6 aperture and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a f/2.4 aperture and 120-degree field of view. It’s the first iPhone to include Apple’s new 7-element lens, which delivers low light performance. Apple has also added a new Night Mode Time-lapse feature.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 mini is a compact version of the iPhone 12. It sports a 5.4-inch OLED display and the same A14 Bionic CPU found inside the standard iPhone 12. However, its costs $699, which is $100 less than the 6.1-inch iPhone 12.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the successors to the iPhone 11 Pro models. They feature larger screens — 6.1 inches for the Pro and 6.7 inches for the Pro Max — plus triple camera arrays aided by a LiDAR sensor. Otherwise, they share the same processor, 5G connectivity, and charging features as the iPhone 12.
Tips for finding the best iPhone 12 deals
- Carriers offer the biggest discounts: Switching carriers remains the best way to find iPhone 12 deals. This is especially true when new models are announced. That said, AT&T sometimes offers its latest iPhone 12 deals to both new and existing users. Otherwise, most carriers will require that you port your number to their service to get the best deals.
- Keep your old iPhone in top condition: In addition to switching carriers, trading in your old phone is another way to save on the purchase of a new phone. So you’ll want to keep your current phone in the best shape possible and make sure to save all the boxes, cables, and documentation that originally came with it. That way when the iPhone 13 makes its debut, you’ll be able to get it without having to pay full retail.
- Don’t forget about refurbs: We normally wouldn’t recommend shopping for refurbished smartphones, but Apple’s refurbs are the exception. They’re refurbished by Apple to work and look like new. More importantly, they’re backed by the same 1-year warranty that comes with new Apple devices.
