The best Verizon deals for August 2021: free iPhones, discounts on plans, and more

Apple iPhone 12: buy one get $700 off second, or save up to $1,000 with trade-in and new line
New customers looking for an iPhone 12 have the choice between two excellent Verizon deals this week. First up is a 'buy-one get-$700 off second' promotion that's great for savings on additional lines. If that doesn't appeal, then you can instead trade in an old device for a saving of up to $1,000 on a device with a new line. Want to keep your line? You can still upgrade for a maximum saving of up to $440 this week.

Simply pick one of these devices up with a new line on an unlimited data plan and you'll get it for free.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max: buy one get $700 off second, or save up to $1,000 with trade-in and new line
If you're looking for the best of the best, then don't settle for anything less than this week's Verizon deals on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This is the largest, most feature-laden, and also the most pricey of the four 12-series devices. Luckily, a whole $1,000 can be knocked off that price tag with an eligible trade-in and new line right now. Existing customers can also get a $440 rebate with a trade-in.

Apple iPhone SE: $10/mo free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon
Verizon deals also include the option to score a free iPhone SE with a new line on an unlimited data plan this week. As you'd imagine, we'd recommend going for the iPhone 11 - which is available for free with the same promotion and terms currently. If the above iPhone 11 deal is sold out, however, this is still a very strong choice if you're looking for Apple on a budget.View Deal

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon
Here's a brand new deal from Verizon this week on a slightly older, but still absolutely great Samsung S20 device.

Looking for a Google Pixel 5 in this week's Verizon deals? Unfortunately, the bad news is it's sold out right now with no backorder options.

In the meantime, we'd definitely recommend going for the Samsung Galaxy S21 series if you're looking for a good Android alternative.View Deal

Like many budget devices, this one also supports microSD cards of up to 1TB if you'd like to expand your storage.View Deal

Nokia 2 V Tella: free with a new line
The Nokia 2 V Tella is another top budget contender, and a pretty new phone having been released back in October 2020. With a dual back camera, 5.45-inch display, Biometric scanner, and 3,000mAH battery, it's not a bad choice for those who don't want to break the bank on their phone bill.View Deal
