Are you considering buying a new iPhone or upgrading your existing one? As we know, iPhones aren't cheap, but buying them at certain times could help you get significant discounts and save some bucks.
Apple will announce the launch of the iPhone 16 at their Glowtime event on September 9. With this launch, the prices of older models will drop.
When Is the Best Time to Buy an iPhone?
So, if you plan to buy an iPhone 15 or otherwise, continue reading, as we will reveal some secrets for buying a new iPhone with maximum savings.
Before the New iPhone’s Launch
The best time to buy a new iPhone is just before the new iPhone 16 lineup gets released. Once the latest models are launched, Apple will start focusing on promoting them and will offer discounts on older models to make room for new ones.
On Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Another cheap time of the year to buy an iPhone is during Black Friday in November and Cyber Monday in December. These are the year's biggest shopping days, and retailers offer discounts on various products, including iPhones.
Using Carrier Deals
You may also get a great deal on an iPhone from a carrier. These deals include discounts on the phone's upfront cost, monthly subscriptions, and other perks.
Through Online Retailers
However, if you want/need to purchase an iPhone at any other time of the year, try purchasing from retailers like Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. These retailers often offer great discounts on older iPhones.
Will Apple Be Launching the New Budget iPhone?
As we know, the iPhone 15 is expected to get a considerable price cut once Apple launches the iPhone 16 series. But will it be a good choice for you? Rumors suggest that Apple plans to launch the new iPhone SE 4 at the Glowtime event.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg says that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a design like the iPhone 14, an OLED display, and Apple Intelligence. He also says this iPhone will be a hot seller if Apple lowers its price to around $500.
However, the previous iPhone SEs were released in the spring, indicating that the new iPhone SE will be released at the beginning of 2025.
