The iPhone 17 Pro Max is probably going to be like 1200-1300 bucks when it drops and I'm trying to figure out if waiting for Black Friday makes any sense. Apple never discounts their newest phones directly but carriers sometimes do trade-in deals or bill credits that might be better during Black Friday. Problem is those deals always come with strings attached like staying on the plan for 3 years or switching carriers which is annoying. Are the Black Friday carrier deals actually better than what they offer year round or is it the same promotional BS with different marketing? I'm on an iPhone 12 Pro that's hanging on but the battery is cooked and I want to upgrade when the 17 comes out.

Do people actually score legitimate deals on the newest iPhone during Black Friday or is it a waste of time and I should just buy it in September? And for the people who do the carrier trade-in promos, do you feel locked in or is it worth it for the savings?

trying to figure out when the best time is to grab a new iphone during black friday and cyber monday since mine is literally falling apart lol. screen is cracked and it keeps restarting randomly which is getting old fast. been seeing some early iphone black friday and cyber monday deals posted online but cant tell if theyre actually good or if i should wait closer to the actual days. do prices usually get better as black friday and cyber monday get closer or is it pretty much the same throughout november?

hey everyone, looking for any actual walmart iphone black friday and cyber monday deals. i know some stores have had crazy bundles in the past but info this year seems scattered.

has anyone seen legit discounts on the latest models or trade-in offers that are worth jumping on? curious what’s actually showing up in stores vs online.

share what you’ve found, which models, prices, and whether it’s in stock or preorder only. trying to figure out if it’s worth waiting or grabbing early.

Just wondering if anyone was able to get a good deal with the Costco’s phone booth people for Boxing Day this year? Specifically iPhone 17 and what plan?

I checked the website only lists iPhone 16 promotion but no mention of any plan. I did go to my local Costco yesterday but by the time I got there in the afternoon, the guy told me you have to join the virtual queue, but they’re too busy so I won’t even get a turn so go home and try tomorrow morning.

I wanna know if it’s worth going all the way again. Otherwise I think I’ll stick to Walmart this year.
