Best Black Friday iPhone 15 deals in 2024: Holiday discounts offered all year

iPhone 15 deals in 2024: what to expect

For many years, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been the 'best' time to grab tech deals from retailers. These deals include direct cash discounts, promotional gift cards, or bundle deals on various pieces of tech. Last year, the iPhone 15 was Apple’s newest model, so there weren’t as many direct discounts available at retailers. Most of the offers were limited to phone carriers, which required extensive contracts and payments over time.

For example, in 2023, AT&T offered discounts on the iPhone 15 Pro with eligible trade-ins, but you had to activate one of their expensive unlimited plans. Verizon offered the same deal, but included other iPhone 15 models as well. Retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target offered some discounts, up to $400 off, but it also required a qualified trade in and were mostly in partnership with AT&T or Verizon, requiring activation with the carriers. Only Best Buy had a more unique deal, offering complimentary access to some Apple services like Apple Music. As usual, Apple never participated in Black Friday, but only offered discounts with trade-ins. 

We expect similar 'deals' during this year's Black Friday from these retailers and carriers. There will be little offered in terms of cash discounts, and the discounts to be offered will be tied to expensive carrier activations. Instead, you can get yourself a refurbished iPhone 15 from Back Market for only a fraction of the price of a new one. Available in all colors and storage options, you can enjoy up to a 30% cash discount on an iPhone 15, without committing to a carrier-specific contract. 

Check out how year-round Back Market's prices compare to popular carriers and retailers' iPhone 15 Black Friday deals.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy an iPhone 15?

Black Friday can be a great time to grab that piece of tech you have always wanted, especially if it's an iPhone 15. During this time, most retailers and carriers offer some of their best deals on iPhones, which might be tempting. However, most of these deals usually have strings attached, since they require you to activate carrier-specific premium plans to in order to claim an iPhone 15 for “free.” Moreover, you have to wait all year till late November to make the most of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

Alternatively, you don't have to wait 11 months to save money on the iPhone 15. Back Market has similar, if not lower, prices all year long compared to retailers’ seasonal doorbusters.

Bottom line: Get iPhone 15 deals on Black Friday OR any time of year

Are iPhone 15 Black Friday deals worth it?
