With Black Friday coming up fast, it’s time to start thinking about the types of deals you seek, whether you’re looking to upgrade an older phone for yourself or planning a special gift for a friend or family member. We’re expecting a ton of deals on laptops, headphones, gaming devices, and, of course, iPhones.
We expect a range of Black Friday deals on various models, making the event a great time to buy an iPhone. Here’s everything you need to know about Black Friday iPhone deals. Alternatively, if you can check out our full guide on the best Cyber Monday deals.
Black Friday iPhone deals to expect
We’re expecting a number of different iPhone deals to go on sale for Black Friday, so whether you’re looking for the flagship iPhone 11 Pro, or a more affordable device like the iPhone 8, there should be a deal going for your needs.
Because of the recent release of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, it may be easiest to find deals on last-generation phones like the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. If you don’t necessarily need the latest and greatest model but still want something relatively powerful, then there will likely be a great deal going for you.
Older models should get discounts, too. The iPhone 8 may have been released in 2017, but it’s still a pretty powerful phone. It doesn’t have an edge-to-edge display, but it still shares many of the specifications that you’ll find in the higher-end iPhone X, so its a great device for those that want decent performance and don’t necessarily care about the latest and greatest design.
While the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro were just released, they still may get some discounts, so if you want the latest iPhone but don’t like the high price tags, it’s worth keeping an eye out.

Black Friday iPhone deals we saw last year
Last year, the groundbreaking iPhone X was a year old, and it got some pretty impressive discounts for Black Friday. Notably, Walmart was giving away a $400 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus — which means that the phones were essentially $400 off for those who shopped frequently at Walmart.
Of course, last year’s new iPhone models were pretty discounted, too. The iPhone XR was the most often discounted. Verizon, for example, was offering a free iPhone XR to those who purchased an iPhone. Walmart had some deals for new iPhone models, too. The retailer was offering a $300 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR, which is pretty impressive. Last but not least, Best Buy discounted the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max for $150 off.
