You can get a free iPhone 16 Pro Max without a trade at Verizon right now – with one minor catch

Verizon has steadily ramped up its iPhone 16 deals for a while now, but this week’s promotions are easily some of the strongest yet – particularly if you’ve had your eye on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Right now, you can actually get this super high-end device (still valued at $1,199) for free with a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan. Unlike with previous discounts on the device, no trade-ins are needed to be eligible at all so it’s a great all-round choice if you’re looking to get a brand-new flagship without handing over an old device.

The glaring caveat with this deal – and the catch – is that you need that new line on the Ultimate plan. As the name suggests, the Ultimate plan is the priciest and most feature-laden of Verizon’s MyPlan postpaid plans. It starts at $90/mo for a single line so it’s a significant investment over the required 36-month duration.

If you can stomach the serious outlay, though, the Ultimate plan is a great choice if you’re looking for a postpaid plan with extremely high data speeds. If you’re covered by the Verizon 5G wideband network in your area, then you can expect blazingly quick speeds; perfect for video content and making the most of Verizon’s additional streaming perks.
