Deal: Buy an iPhone XS or XS Max and get a free $200 Target gift card (AT&T and Verizon only)
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
While Apple itself rarely offers deals on its smartphones, you can often stumble upon price cuts or perks when you buy iPhones via carriers or third-party sellers. Case in point: Target is now offering free gift cards with all the latest Apple smartphones - iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Unsurprisingly, some terms and conditions apply here, starting with the fact that you need to be (or become) a Verizon or AT&T customer.
In order to get a Target gift card with your new Apple iPhone, you have to purchase it before May 11 on an AT&T Next plan or a Verizon Device Payment plan (new lines and upgrades both qualify). If you buy an iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, Target will give you a $200 gift card. Purchasing an iPhone XR will only get you a $100 gift card.
There's an important thing to note about Target's iPhone offers: the retailer is charging $50 extra for all iPhone models. This means that prices start at $799 for the iPhone XR, $1,049 for the iPhone XS, and $ $1,149 for the iPhone XS Max (while prices at Apple and pretty much everywhere else start at $749, $999, and $1,099, respectively).
Still, the gift cards that Target is currently giving away compensate for the higher prices and basically let you win $150 with the iPhone XS and XS Max, or $50 with the iPhone XR.
