Best AT&T Black Friday deals: Recap of 2022 and expectations for 2023

Black Friday 2022 has officially ended, which means that nothing remains for us but to make a recap of the event and draw our expectations for 2023.
There's probably no way of guessing when AT&T will kick off its Black Friday deals. Sure, it might seem intuitive that as soon as the Thanksgiving Turkey goes cold, the carrier will unleash its deals and promotions, but there's a high chance that the deals will be revealed days ahead of the actual Black Friday. In 2022, for example, the Black Friday deals kicked off a week ahead of the discount festival, so we expect the same pattern in 2023 as well.
Similarly to Verizon and T-Mobile, AT&T usually has its own BOGO deals this Black Friday. By buying an iPhone with an eligible line, you can get a second unit for free, which is essentially a 50% off. The most recent iPhones are usually included in AT&T's BOGO deals, but so are some slightly older yet still relevant iPhones. In 2022, we saw lots of similar deals on the iPhone 14-series and the iPhone 13-series. So, yes, technically, you can get a free iPhone on Black Friday, and we expect that to remain the same in 2023 as well.
Black Friday 2022 gave us tons of deals on many superb phones, tablets, and smartwatches, with many BOGO deals available on Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Motorola flagships, and more.
Next year's Black Friday event will take place in late November 2023, as usual, and we expect tons of deals on all the upcoming hot phone that will see the light of day in 2023, as well as most devices that we saw discounted in 2023.
