Verizon just launched its early Black Friday deals this week, and they include the best promotions I’ve seen on the iPhone 17 series at the carrier since the devices were launched back in September.
Right now, you don’t even need a trade-in to get several devices in the range for free alongside new unlimited data lines. On top of that, the carrier is also throwing in an Apple Watch and iPad alongside the standard iPhone 17 as bonus gifts.
Verizon Black Friday iPhone 17 deals
Is the free iPad and Apple Watch a good deal?
- The freebies are the latest Apple models
- Worth $499 each at full retail price
- Required lines can cost between $17.50 to $30/mo extra
The accessories bundled with this Verizon Black Friday deal are the cellular versions of the latest Apple Watch Series 11 and iPad 11. These freebies would cost $1,000 if you bought them outright at full retail price, so on paper, this is a fantastic deal. Of course, the major catch here is that you’ll need to sign up for accessory cellular lines to claim the devices.
If you get the iPhone 17 on the entry-level Welcome Unlimited plan, the accessory cellular lines will be at least $30 per month extra on top of your phone plan with both devices. It’s possible to get those accessory lines down to just $17.50/mo with the highest-end Ultimate plan, but that in itself presents a conundrum. If you’re going for the pricier unlimited plan, why not just go for Verizon’s deal on the iPhone 17 Pro?
If it were my money, I’d be tempted to either get the standard iPhone 17 for free on the Welcome plan and keep it cheap, or go all-out and get the iPhone 17 Pro with the Ultimate plan. In both cases, I’d probably skip the accessories and just focus on the phone deals – which are already fantastic considering you don’t need to trade-in.
