Want an iPhone 6S before the holidays are over? Good news! The smartphone is currently on sale for $1 at Best Buy with a two-year contract.

The usual $200 down payment has been dropped to $1, but the deal comes with a few caveats. Verizon Wireless and Sprint are the only carriers available at Best Buy, a bit of a bummer for AT&T and T-Mobile customers.

Another issue with the deal is the $1 iPhone 6S only has 16GB of internal storage. For some customers, that might not seem like an issue, but 16GB is completely insufficient for iPhone users who download a lot of apps and videos or take a lot of photos.

Best Buy will stock all four colors of the iPhone 6S: space gray, silver, gold, and rose gold. The deal is available in stores or online until Sunday, and hopefully there will be enough stock to last through the weekend rush. Customers who trade in an iPhone 5 or later and purchase the iPhone 6S will receive a $200 gift card from Best Buy to sweeten the deal.

Best Buy isn’t the only retailer offering a festive smartphone deal — Carriers are getting involved as well. T-Mobile is offering a free year of Hulu to Verizon Wireless customers looking to switch carriers, and $100 off the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and S6 Edge Plus. AT&T customers who want to switch to T-Mobile will receive a 128GB iPhone 6S for the price of a 16GB model, alongside other potential freebies. AT&T has Samsung deals as well, including a free Galaxy S6 if you purchase a separate Samsung smartphone.

5 phones you should buy instead of the iPhone 16
Someone holding the iPhone 16.

Apple’s iPhone 16 has arrived, and it’s quite an impressive offering this year. Not only does it come in some of the best colors we’ve seen in a while, but it closes the gap between the base and Pro models even more.

That's all to say the iPhone 16 is a fantastic phone, but if you’re thinking about buying it as your next smartphone purchase, you should also consider some of these alternatives.

I was wrong about the iPhone 16
An iPhone 16 laying on a shelf with its screen on.

The iPhone 16 is a little over a month old, and I've been using it almost nonstop since it was announced last month. I reviewed the phone for Digital Trends and bought one with my own money as my personal phone of choice.

Not long after its unveiling, I wrote an op-ed complaining about the iPhone 16's lack of a 120Hz display. I said it was the "one thing holding back the iPhone 16" and that its 60Hz screen was "an unreasonable spec." I'd still like to see the refresh rate addressed with the iPhone 17, but after living with the iPhone 16 for over a month now, I've found that it's not nearly as big of an issue as I believed it would be.
