It’s the week of Black Friday, and you know what that means. Phone upgrade time! Here are the best phone deals that you’ll find this week, carefully organized by brand and plan (or lack thereof).
Just keep in mind that some of these deals won’t launch until November 29th, the actual Black Friday. If a deal isn’t working for you, bookmark it and check back on it later.
Apple
It’s hard to find discounted Apple products, especially when they’re brand spakin’ new. Thankfully, there are a handful of great iPhone deals this year, including a BOGO iPhone 11 deal through Verizon. Just don’t expect to buy an unlocked iPhone at a discount, that’s all.
