Black Friday came with some of the best phone deals at Verizon. Options like the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the Galaxy S25+, and the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL were all on sale for just $0.00/mo at the carrier. On top of that, you could get all of these devices without actually having to trade in an eligible device. All you needed to to to grab these phones for free (sort of) was a new line activation on an eligible Unlimited plan.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra was another hot pick this year, offered for $4.99/mo with a new line and an Unlimited Ultimate plan. Models like the Motorola Edge, the Pixel 10 Pro, and the iPhone Air were on sale as well this Black Friday. During the shopping craze, Verizon offered all three for as low as $0.00/mo. That said, users seeking compact Gemini AI perfection had to trade in an eligible device to get the Pixel 10 Pro for $0.00/mo.
Were there any good deals on older iPhones this year? Absolutely. I spotted both the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 going for $630-$730 off over 36 months, no trade-ins required.
Could I get a free iPhone from Verizon during Black Friday?
Absolutely! This year, iPhones dropped by $1,000 when you met the carrier's requirements. Even better, all of the latest iPhones got practically impossible to resist this Black Friday. I expect the tendency to continue next year, but time will tell if I'm right.
Are Verizon phone deals worth it during Black Friday?
Verizon usually offers great deals during Black Friday, but most phone promotions require adding a new line. This is a common practice among carriers, as they aim to secure long-term subscribers. Make sure to carefully review the terms and conditions to fully understand the details before committing if you participate in the shopping festivities this year.
When did Verizon phone deals start on Black Friday 2025?
Verizon’s Black Friday deals on phones and smart started well before Thanksgiving this year, matching the beginning of Black Friday Week at Amazon (November 20). Some deals were event available throughout November. All of that makes it quite hard to pinpoint just when Black Friday officially begins at the carrier.
By taking advantage of Verizon’s trade-in promotions and a qualifying service plan, you could score a brand-new phone for a fraction of the price in 2025. Popular models like iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and Google Pixels are usually the ones getting the best Verizon’s Black Friday sales, and this year was no different.
