Verizon has just quietly debuted its best iPhone 16 Pro deal yet – get it for free alongside a plan that costs just $25/mo

I’ve been featuring Verizon’s iPhone 16 Pro deals ever since the device was released last year and the carrier’s current promotion is likely the best yet for a wide range of customers.

Right now, the carrier is offering this $1,000 device for free alongside any of its MyPlan post-paid unlimited plans – and that includes the basic Welcome Unlimited tier.

Previously, you needed a new line on either the mid-range Plus or Ultimate plan, both of which are significantly more expensive than the Welcome option. While those two plans are definitely more feature-laden, it’s a really nice change to see Verizon feature a deal that’s so good for the more budget-conscious.

And, since Verizon’s Welcome plan is the cheapest option right now with multi-line savings, it’s technically possible to get up to four free devices with four lines for just $100 per month. That’s just $25/mo a line, which is pretty impressive considering that the iPhone 16 Pro is still $1,000 if you buy it outright.

When the iPhone 16 Pro first debuted at Verizon, it was only available for free via a trade-in rebate. Subsequently, the carrier started giving it away for free with a new line on the Ultimate Unlimited plan. Today’s deal is the natural progression from these promotions and makes it an even better value.

If you have a device that’s ready to trade, you could also consider Verizon’s alternate deal on the iPhone 16 Pro right now, which offers up to $1,000 off with a trade and a free iPad and Apple Watch. That’s also a fantastic promotion, but obviously you’ll need to trade to be eligible. Cellular lines are also required for the free accessories here, which incurs a small monthly surcharge on top of your phone plan.
