iPhone 13 (128GB, Locked to Straight Talk) — $399 $449 11% off

It’s been awhile since the iPhone 13 was the new kid on the block, and that’s a good thing for deals. As you’ll be reminded by our iPhone 13 review, this phone still has the lightning cable, but at $399 and being locked to the quite good Straight Talk, this is an excellent deal on a phone that MSRP’d at $799 just two years ago.

iPhone SE 3 (64GB, Locked to chosen carrier) — $405* $430 6% off*

A great alternative to Walmart’s deal if you don’t want to be locked into their Straight Talk plan and instead want to choose some other carrier through Best Buy. This is, no doubt, another 2022 phone and, as our iPhone SE 3 review will remind you, this was never meant to be a power user’s phone, but still brings the great connectivity of the Apple ecosystem to your pocket. Buy it now if you want a cheap iPhone on your current phone plan.

*With a qualifying Best Buy trade-in, you can get this phone for up to an additional $120 off, making the final price of the phone as low as $284, or 30% off.

iPhone 14 Plus (128GB, Unlocked) — $680* $730 7% off*

If you can get it at a good discount, the 14 Plus is a good upgrade to the standard iPhone 14. Our iPhone 14 Plus review details its extras like Apple Pay, spatial audio, Apple Watch pairing, and extensive battery life.

*With a qualifying Best Buy trade-in, you can get this phone for up to an additional $330 off, making the final price of the phone as low as $350, or 52% off.

iPhone 15 (128GB, Unlocked) — $690* $730 6% off*

The iPhone 15 reviewed as “one of the most significant iPhone upgrades ever” — it has great cameras and swapped lightning for USB-C. It, along with the 15 Plus, are some of the last iPhones that won’t get Apple Intelligence, but there’s still a ton to like about the iPhone 15, especially if you’re nonplussed by Apple Intelligence.

*With a qualifying Best Buy trade-in, you can get this phone for an additional amount off, with an unlocked maximum savings.

How to choose an iPhone on Cyber Monday

Let’s make a grand assumption: If you’re going to buy an iPhone on Cyber Monday, you probably already have a general sense of which one you want to buy and are, let’s face it, enmeshed in Apple’s iOS device ecosystem. While, if you’re not, you can always check our reviews of the phones or our iPhone 14 and 14 Pro buying guide, chances are you have a good inkling of what to get.

Then, the issue becomes navigating the deals.

The first type of deal you’re likely to encounter this season is the “locked to” deal. That means you get the phone but must use it with whichever cell phone plan it is attached to. Be sure to check out how to unlock a phone guide if you ever plan on getting it unlocked later.

Next, there’s the deal that you can spice up with a trade-in. Much like giving in your used automobile when buying a new car and getting some cash in exchange, these deals are impactful. During the first iteration of this article (bookmark us to see updates as the deals season continues), we found plenty of Best Buy trade-in deals, which offer plenty of flexibility for what you trade-in. Check with our guide on how to trade in your smartphone for more tips about how to make this transaction go smoothly.

How we chose these Cyber Monday iPhone deals

If you’ve heard the phrases “seller’s market” and “beggers can’t be choosers,” then you know the rub — Apple is popular and doesn’t have to offer many deals.

Still, however, when you can get a good deal on your next iPhone, there’s no reason not to jump on it. And, in many cases, the lack of intense and varied deals lets us know two great things. For one, iPhones are (if expensive) quite fairly priced, even at MSRP. Secondly, when you find a deal from a reliable retailer, it is probably one of the best deals around.

As a result, we’re very confident in the deals above but are also anxious to see what will happen as the deals season progresses, and we will update this list accordingly.

One of the essentials in any bag these days is a battery pack for your smartphone, whether that’s an iPhone or an Android phone. But have you ever forgotten to charge your battery pack because it needs a cable? Thankfully, Anker has a fantastic external battery pack that you can plug directly into a wall outlet, and it has its own integrated cable for charging other devices.

For Cyber Monday, Amazon has the Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable 10,000mAh Power Bank for just $30, 33% off the normal $45 price. I have one of these, and it’s an everyday essential in my bags for charging my iPhone 16 Pro.
