Want an iPhone 6S before the holidays are over? Good news! The smartphone is currently on sale for $1 at Best Buy with a two-year contract.

The usual $200 down payment has been dropped to $1, but the deal comes with a few caveats. Verizon Wireless and Sprint are the only carriers available at Best Buy, a bit of a bummer for AT&T and T-Mobile customers.

Another issue with the deal is the $1 iPhone 6S only has 16GB of internal storage. For some customers, that might not seem like an issue, but 16GB is completely insufficient for iPhone users who download a lot of apps and videos or take a lot of photos.

Best Buy will stock all four colors of the iPhone 6S: space gray, silver, gold, and rose gold. The deal is available in stores or online until Sunday, and hopefully there will be enough stock to last through the weekend rush. Customers who trade in an iPhone 5 or later and purchase the iPhone 6S will receive a $200 gift card from Best Buy to sweeten the deal.

Best Buy isn’t the only retailer offering a festive smartphone deal — Carriers are getting involved as well. T-Mobile is offering a free year of Hulu to Verizon Wireless customers looking to switch carriers, and $100 off the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and S6 Edge Plus. AT&T customers who want to switch to T-Mobile will receive a 128GB iPhone 6S for the price of a 16GB model, alongside other potential freebies. AT&T has Samsung deals as well, including a free Galaxy S6 if you purchase a separate Samsung smartphone.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.

Why you should buy the iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the iPhone 15 Pro

If you want the best iPhone money can buy in 2024, you have two options: the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They have the same chipset, similar display technology, nearly identical cameras, etc. It's a really close battle, save for the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro is $200 cheaper.

It might be tempting to save some cash and choose the iPhone 15 Pro, but I recommend you splurge for the larger (and more expensive) iPhone 15 Pro Max. Why? Let me explain.
It's a big iPhone you won't hate using
