Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September 2026 and we're tracking new offers on these smartphones below. All major carriers have various discounts, offers, and savings on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, so be sure to look for more details in each carrier's section.

Alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo in September 2026, and it's the company's first foldable smartphone. When fully open, Apple says it is the thinnest iPhone ever made, with an architecture that packages its components into the camera plateau.

Carrier deals do have some downsides, in regards to how many stipulations come with obtaining the discounts. But if you're looking to sign up for a new contract, switch carriers, or buy multiple iPhones at once, you can likely find a few solid bargains at these companies.

In this guide, we'll break down offers by carriers, and also include a few sales related to refurbished devices. In regards to these sales, the best refurbished discounts are typically on older iPhone models, but you can still occasionally find refurbished sales on current-generation models as well.
