Today we're tracking the best New Year's deals on Apple's iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models from carriers including AT&T, Visible, and Verizon. This also covers a few side offers from these companies, like free AirPods Pro 2 at Visible when purchasing a brand new iPhone 14.
Visible
Starting with Verizon-owned Visible, you can save $15/month for your entire first year of service with the company thanks to their New Year's offer. You'll need to join Visible and bring your own smartphone (via eSIM or pSIM) with an existing number.

When placing your order for the new Visible plan, you'll also need to enter the code 15OFF12 at the checkout screen. With this discount, you can get the Visible plan for $15/month (regular $30/month) or Visible+ for $30/month (regular $45/month).
This promotion will last for twelve months, after which your service will return to its regular price. You can find more information about the sale on Visible's website, including the type of plans and details of each.
There are a few other offers from Visible going on in the new year, including a gift card worth up to $200 plus free AirPods Pro 2 with select iPhone models. You'll need to join Visible and transfer your number from an eligible carrier to get this deal.
After three full months of service payments, you'll get an email with a code to redeem your free AirPods Pro 2 and virtual gift card. You can browse the list of compatible smartphones on Visible, including the iPhone 14 Pro, Pro Max, Plus, and more.
AT&T
Holiday deals have carried over into 2023 at other carriers as well, with AT&T still offering up to $1,000 off the iPhone 14 Pro with eligible trade-in on select installment plans. This also works for the iPhone 14 Pro Max; you can get the iPhone 14 at no cost or the iPhone 14 Plus for $5/month as well.
In terms of trade-ins, you can get up to $1,000 bill credits with smartphone trade-in value of $230 or higher, up to $800 bill credits with smartphone trade-in value of $130 to $229, and up to $350 bill credits with smartphone trade-in value of $34 to $129. These credits start within three bill cycles after trade-in is completed.
Verizon
Similarly, Verizon is still hosting its "Welcome Unlimited" holiday deal, where you can get $25/line per month for four lines when signing up for Verizon Unlimited, with this price guaranteed to be locked in for three years. You'll need to add four new smartphone lines and a $180 credit will be applied per smartphone over 36 months.
Otherwise, you'll find Verizon matching AT&T's iPhone 14 deals. You can save up to $1,000 when you trade in an older smartphone and purchase any iPhone 14 device on a Verizon Unlimited plan. If you're buying two, you can buy one iPhone and get another at up to $800 off as well.

I’ve had no issues with them once I finally got my plan working and Apple Watch connected, but again, I’ve never had so many issues and such a bad time getting signed up for a service before. This is not an uncommon experience either. Just check Reddit.com/r/Visible for more of these stories.
And the worst is they keep stretching out the plans. So think can hurt the manufacturers. That's why Apple sticks with 24 mo so you don't need to pay any extra to upgrade after 12 or keep after 24. The only thing that messes with that is the year they released late or these shipping delays. So by the time installments start, it's months out, so you will have to make payments up for 12 or 24 months
It's not great for unlimited data, as it's not meant for power users who use lots of data, as Mint Mobile states that it throttles >35Gb/month while Visible states that it doesn't throttle but the latter costs more, even more than Mint Mobile.
Based on many reviews online, Mint Mobile has better service than Visible.
FYI... you can buy a new iPhone from either carriers but their smartphone unlocking policy is different.
Mint Mobile makes you wait 12 months whereas Visible unlocks it after 60 days. You must still have service with either of them when you unlock the phone. Don't leave their service before unlocking the phone.
?yeahhhhhhhhhhh
Kind of seems like more expensive data and a lock-in of 3 years to me.
