iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro: Where to get the best deals

tigaman webdesign — Wed, 03 May 2023 15:07:10 +0000

It’s been a long time since you could only buy an iPhone directly from Apple or from AT&T. Today, they are offered by all major carriers and big retailers, many of which try to entice you with special deals. Of course, you can still buy from Apple directly, either in-store or online, but the lowest prices can generally be found elsewhere.

If you haven’t yet put in your order for an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, this article will help you to spend as little money as possible. We provide a summary of the best deals and promotions offered by popular retailers, plus automatically updated price-comparison tables covering the wider market, all of which will help you find the very best deal on your new iPhone.

If you’re looking for other models, check out our overall Best iPhone deals roundup. And if your mind isn’t made up regarding which iPhone to buy, read our reviews and take a look at our Best iPhone chart.

Where to get the best iPhone deals

Buying direct from Apple is one of the few ways to buy an unlocked, SIM-free iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, 14 Pro or 14 Max, and it’s the go-to place to join the iPhone Upgrade Program. Apple will also let you trade in your old iPhone and get up to $720 in credit toward a new purchase. Find an unlocked or SIM-free iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max at Apple.

In the U.K. we frequently see Amazon discount iPhones–although the biggest discounts tend to be on the older models, such as the iPhone 13 or iPhone SE.

Best unlocked iPhone 14 series deals

It’s possible to find deals on handsets bought unlocked in the UK, including the newest 14-series iPhones. We’ve spotted the following savings:

Amazon, iPhone 14 Pro: £1,039 (£60 off)

Best iPhone 14 series carrier deals

If you want to buy the latest iPhone for less than the full retail price, you’re probably going to need to get it from a carrier or mobile provider, and there will often be significant strings attached. These deals can be complicated, so be sure to read the fine print.

In the U.S., Apple partners with carriers to offer discounts on the 2022 iPhones. You get a $30 discount if you buy a phone activated on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile/Sprint, however, if you shop around there are some good deals to be found.

U.S.

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 14 and trade in your old phone when you add a new line.
Verizon: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits toward an iPhone 14 Pro with trade-in and select Unlimited plans.

U.K.

Contract offers vary quite widely in price, but you’ll need to check the fine print and the perks and extras that are thrown in. You can browse the best current deals using the tool below; click ‘Choose Smartphone’ to filter by model.

Best deals on iPhone 12 (and iPhone 12 mini and 12 Pro)

tigaman webdesign — Wed, 03 May 2023 07:39:54 +0000

Macworld

If you’re looking to buy an iPhone 12 (or 12 mini, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max), now is a great time to hunt for deals. Retailers want to get rid of old stock, and there are great deals on the iPhone 12 range, whether you want to buy SIM-free or on contract. There are some great discounts on refurbished models too.

In this article we look at every major retailer and contract provider to find the best deals for the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. In a separate article we round up the best iPhone deals overall; we also look at the best Apple deals in an even broader article.

Find out how the iPhone 12 compares to the iPhone 13 mini, both of which start at the same price of $599/£649.

iPhone 12 range prices

The 12-series iPhones were launched in fall 2020, but since then we’ve seen some significant changes to the range in terms of price and availability.

When Apple released the iPhone 13 in September 2021, Apple discontinued the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max and dropped the price of the iPhone 12 and 12 mini. The following year, when the company brought out the 14-series handsets, the iPhone 12 mini was discontinued too, while the iPhone 12 got another price cut.

Here are the entry-level prices for each model (with the minimum storage allocation). We offer more detailed pricing information in the section for each model.

	Launch price	Fall 2021 price	Current price
iPhone 12 mini	From $699/£699	From $599/£579	Discontinued
iPhone 12	From $799/£799	From $699/£679	From $599/£649
iPhone 12 Pro	From $999/£999	Discontinued	Discontinued
iPhone 12 Pro Max	From $1,099/£1,099	Discontinued	Discontinued

While the 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are no longer available from Apple, they can be found (usually at a hefty discount) from other retailers, which are trying to get rid of stock to make room for the new models. Check the price-comparison tables below to find the lowest price.

Best iPhone 12 mini deals

How much does the iPhone 12 mini cost?

The smallest of the iPhone 12 range, the iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch screen, which is only slightly larger than the iPhone SE (2022). Apple stopped selling it following the launch of the iPhone 14, but we can look at past prices to get an idea of what’s reasonable to pay now.

Here are the original launch prices, from fall 2020:

64GB: $699 / £699 / AU$1,199
128GB: $749 / £749 / AU$1,279
256GB: $849 / £849 / AU$1,449

And here are the reduced prices, from fall 2021:

64GB: $599 / £579 / AU$999
128GB: $649 / £629 / AU$1,079
256GB: $749 / £729 / AU$1,249

In other words, it would be reasonable to assume that Apple would have knocked off another $100 or so in 2022, just as it did for the standard iPhone 12, discussed below.

Best iPhone 12 mini SIM-free deals

You can keep up with the latest SIM-free prices across a wide range of retailers using our automated price-comparison table below. If the table isn’t showing, that means there are no available supplies in your region, and you’ll need to consider an alternative.

Best iPhone 12 deals

How much does the iPhone 12 cost?

The standard iPhone offers a 6.1-inch display and is available in white, black, blue, green, purple and Product(Red). With the launch of the iPhone 13 range, Apple slashed £120/$100 off the iPhone 12’s price, and the price dropped again in 2022 when the iPhone 14 came out. This is what it costs right now if you buy direct from Apple:

64GB: $599 / £649 / AU$1,049 (Was $829 / £799 / AU$1,349 at launch)
128GB: $649 / £699 / AU$1,129 (Was $879 / £849 / AU$1,429 at launch)

How much does the iPhone 12 Pro cost?

The 12 Pro features a 6.1-inch screen like the standard iPhone 12 but has a much brighter display and a third (telephoto) lens on the back. The Pro and Pro Max are available in Graphite, Silver, Gold and Pacific Blue.

Apple discontinued the 12 Pro and Pro Max when it launched the iPhone 13, but you can still find it from other retailers. We’ve listed Apple’s original prices for the 12 Pro below:

128GB: $999 / £999 / AU$1,699
256GB: $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,869
512GB: $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$2,219

These were the prices when the device was brand new (back in fall 2020), so you should be looking to spend considerably less if buying today.

Best iPhone 12 Pro contract deals

The following networks may still have the iPhone 12 Pro available on contract, but be prepared for disappointment at this stage.

U.K. readers should try the following:

Best iPhone 12 Pro Max deals

How much does the iPhone 12 Pro Max cost?

It’s been discontinued now, but here’s how much the iPhone 12 Pro Max cost at launch:

128GB: $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,849
256GB: $1,199 / £1,199 / AU$2,019
512GB: $1,399 / £1,399 / AU$2,369

It’s very important to note that these were the prices when the devices were brand new. Based on what Apple did to the 12 and 12 mini prices in previous years, these would have dropped significantly if the company decided to keep the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max on sale.

In other words, you should be looking to spend a lot less than the launch MSRPs if you buy today.

Best iPhone 12 Pro Max SIM-free deals

You can compare prices from top retailers in our automated price table below. But stock is running low, and it may therefore come up empty or fail to appear.

Your best bet in fact, may be to buy a refurbished model, which will also be cheaper. Try Decluttr in the U.S., or musicMagpie in the U.K.

Where to get refurbished iPhone 12 deals

If you haven’t already, you may want to consider buying a refurbished iPhone 12 to save money (and the environment). Refurbished devices are thoroughly tested and repaired to work and look just like new. In some cases, you might see some signs of wear–such as scuffs or scratches–but most retailers will indicate the condition of the device before you buy it. Typically, you’ll see A, B, and C grades, with A-grade devices showing no or very, very minimal signs of use and C-grade devices showing obvious signs of wear.

See our full guide to buying refurbished or second-hand iPhones for more on device grades.

The first place to shop for a refurbished iPhone is on the Apple Refurbished Store. Here you’re guaranteed that the device will be exactly like a new iPhone out of the box. Rest assured, the Apple Refurbished Store is where you can get the highest quality of refurbished iPhones.

You may also want to consider the following refurbished resellers, which are likely to offer lower prices:

About the iPhone 12 range

Apple launched the iPhone 12 range flagship phones at its ‘Hi, Speed’ Special event on October 13, 2020: a fitting title, given these were the first iPhones to feature 5G connectivity, the A14 Bionic processor and Neural Engine, which also appeared in the iPad Air 4 for advanced image processing.

While we’ve come to expect iPhones in three sizes, Apple introduced four models with the 12 range: the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, and a smaller iPhone 12 mini–again, all with 5G support.

The iPhone 12 and 12 mini feature a Ceramic Shield front, glass back, and an aluminum frame, while the top-tier Pro and Pro Max add a textured matte glass on the back and a stainless steel band to the mix.

Design aside, the Pro and Pro Max also feature an extra telephoto lens on the back, along with advanced photo and video capabilities, like AppleRAW support and recording and editing video in Dolby Vision. For everything there is to know about the new iPhone 12 range see this handy explainer.

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro: Where to get the best deals this month

tigaman webdesign — Tue, 02 May 2023 16:36:16 +0000

Macworld

It’s been a long time since you could only get an iPhone directly from Apple or from AT&T. Today, they are offered by all major carriers and big retailers, and many of them want to entice you to buy with them by offering special deals. Of course, you can still buy from Apple directly, either in-store or online, but you can probably find a lower price elsewhere.

That’s particularly relevant if you’re looking at devices that Apple itself no longer sells. The company still sells the iPhone 13 (that link will also take you to the iPhone 13 mini), but it discontinued the iPhone 13 Pro when the 14-series handsets came out in fall 2022. If you want to go Pro, you’ll need to shop around other retailers.

If you’re in the market for a 13-series iPhone, then, you’ve come to the right place. This article offers a summary of the best deals and promotions offered by popular retailers to help you get the best deal. (If you’re considering other models, check out our overall Best iPhone deals roundup.)

Best unlocked iPhone 13 & iPhone 13 mini deals

Apple Store

Buying direct from Apple is one of the few ways to buy an unlocked, SIM-free iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 mini, and it’s the go-to place to join the iPhone Upgrade Program. Apple will let you trade in your old iPhone (in good condition) as credit toward a new purchase, too. In the U.S., Apple is once again partnering with carriers to offer discounts on the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13. You get a $30 discount if you buy a phone activated on AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile/Sprint.

You’ll always pay full price at the Apple Store, but it’s a direct and simple way to get an iPhone, and in some cases the only place to buy one without activating it on a mobile network.

Note that both the 13 and the 13 mini got a price cut when the iPhone 14 came out in 2022. At launch they started at $829 and $729 respectively, but this is what you’d pay now:

iPhone 13 mini prices:

128GB: $599 / £649 / AUD$1,049
256GB: $699 / £759 / AUD$1,219
512GB: $899 / £979 / AUD$1,569

Things are a bit different here, because Apple no longer sells these handsets. If Apple had carried on selling them, they would have seen a price cut in 2022, but we’ll never know exactly how generous those cuts would have been. The best we can do when evaluating third-party deals is look at the launch prices from 2021 and demand a significant drop to take into account the passage of time.

iPhone 13 Pro prices at launch:

128GB: $999 / £949 / AUD$1,699
