Want a chance to nab the iPhone 12 practically for free, during September? Now’s your chance, through Verizon Business. Collectively, you can get up to $1,000 off the price of a new iPhone 12 series — and that’s good for all 4 models, including the iPhone 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max.

Here’s how it all works. You’ll get a maximum discount of up to $700 for eligible trade-ins, plus you can take advantage of another $300 credit if you’re swapping from another carrier. Combined, that’s $1,000 total in savings, and even if your trade-in is worth less, you’ll still be getting the new phone practically for free!

What do you need to know about the iPhone 12 series?

In Digital Trends’ iPhone 12 Review, Andrew Martonik called it “a step above” the competition because of its exceptional design and build quality. It certainly benefits from the increased speeds of 5G mobile connectivity, too! Of course, things can be a little confusing when you’re picking out what model you want because there are 4 of them! You can always refer to a proper size and feature comparison to understand the major differences. Ultimately, you can choose either the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max. Whichever model you prefer, they’re all excellent for business accounts and users.

That’s all pertinent because Verizon is currently offering a killer deal on the iPhone 12 series devices, allowing new customers to nab the phone practically for free, during September. You’ll need an eligible trade-in, and you’ll need to leverage all of the available promo offers, but it’s worth it!

How to get the deal on a new iPhone 12 series and Verizon Business line?

With a trade-in, of your old device(s) — up to 10 trade-ins at once — you can get up to a maximum of $700 in credit. On top of that, new business customers can get an additional $300 credit after swapping from a different carrier and doing a number transfer. The $300 switching credit will be paid after 2 to 3 billing cycles and the trade-in credit will be applied monthly to your account for up to 24 to 30 months. The downside is that you’ll have to pay your previous carrier’s switching costs out of pocket.

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro (128GB), for example, is $1,000 through Verizon Business as the retail price, and $550 as the 2-year contract price. With the promo, if you get the full $1,000, you can get the phone for free with a little extra credit to go the distance! You could even upgrade to a model with much more internal storage for a relatively low price. How crazy is that?

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max (128GB) is $1,100 at its retail price and $650 at its 2-year contract price. It too would be practically free with the full promo credit applied. You can check out the eligible devices and learn more about them below!

Google Pixel 7 — $500, was $600

The first of our Black Friday phone deals is the very delightful Google Pixel 7, a phone we've already declared one of the best phones of 2022. The water-resistant Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch screen, runs on Android 13, and uses the Google Tensor G2 processor. By default, you can grab it with 128GB of memory, but feel free to go for the 256GB or 512GB versions to boost your power; they aren't that much more expensive. Additionally, as we mention in our Google Pixel 7 review, the phone's camera is absolutely fantastic. The 50-megapixel main camera creates "vibrant, balanced, and visually punchy photos" via optical image stabilization (OIS) and overall excellent handling of lighting.

iPhone 12 magsafe leather wallet.

Black Friday deals are finally here, and it is time to kick the holiday shopping season off right. As we all know, the iPhone has a lot of great accessories, so any lover of the phone becomes pretty easy to shop for. Today, we're looking at the Apple Leather Wallet with MagSafe, a beautiful accessory that saves pocket space and frankly just looks beautiful on an iPhone. The wallet, which usually costs $59, is $14 off and now only costs $45. That's nearly 25% off in savings and a perfect price point for a casual gift to family, friends, or even yourself!

Why you should buy the Apple Leather Wallet with MagSafe
The Apple Leather Wallet magnetically attaches to the back of your iPhone (versions 12+) as a MagSafe accessory and holds two to three cards within. These cards are not only less likely to fall out whenever you pull out your phone to swipe and take photos but are also shielded to protect you from scammers. Stylishly made from European leather, the Apple Leather Wallet comes in nine colors, though only the Midnight Black, Golden Brown, and Umber varieties are currently on this massive sale. Coincidentally, these are also the colors that look the most like the traditional leather you probably picture in your head, so it's a big win for leather lovers!

Should you buy a phone on Black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday?
The Galaxy Z Fold 4's hinge.

While Black Friday is the best time to buy a phone, many folks tend to worry about whether waiting for Cyber Monday is a better idea. This fear of missing out is pretty typical around these two shopping events, so let's take a look at that and some great Black Friday phone deals you can pick up.
Should you buy a phone on Black Friday?
The short answer is yes, you should buy a phone on Black Friday. While it's true we're likely to see many great deals on Cyber Monday, especially since they tend to mirror Black Friday deals, you can never guarantee that. As such, it's better to grab Black Friday phone deals as soon as you see one you like rather than waiting. Plus, even if you find a better deal on Cyber Monday, you can still refund your earlier purchase from Black Friday and pick up the newer and better deal.

Straight Talk Apple iPhone SE (2020) -- $99, was $149

The Apple iPhone SE (2020) was a big surprise when it was released a couple of years ago since Apple always maintained a more premium product category. Even at a lower price, the SE is still a surprisingly powerful machine that uses the A13 Bionic chip. Granted, it's a bit dated at this point, but you can still get some great performance when playing games and using apps; at the very least, it's still quite snappy. Picture quality is, of course, excellent as ever, given that Apple has some of the best cameras in the industry. As for the screen, it's a 4.7-inch beauty with a resolution of 1,334 x 750 with True Tone, so it adjusts to your environment, which we love to see for a budget Apple phone. Of course, the most impressive part is that you can grab all of this through Straight Talk for less than $100, and while it is the older SE, it's still an excellent phone, but if you want to see the comparison, we have taken a look at the Apple iPhone SE (2022) vs. iPhone SE (2020).
