The best Verizon deals for September 2022: free iPhones, discounts on plans, and more

Apple iPhone 14 & 14 Plus: up to $800 off with a trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon deals for the initial iPhone 14 launch are exactly what we anticipated, with the usual trade-in rebate of up to $800 with pre-orders. As always, this particular promotion is open to both new and existing customers so it's a very flexible option indeed if you're willing to sign up to an unlimited data line. Note, new customers will get an additional $200 as a welcome gift if they make the jump over from another carrier, a nice little bonus that'll stack on top of any trade-in savings you'll get. See this same deal on the iPhone 14 Plus (opens in new tab).

Apple iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max: up to $1,000 off w/ trade-in and unlimited plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon's deals on the new 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are offering an extremely competitive trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 for the initial pre-orders phase - a maximum saving that can technically cover the entire cost of the smaller Pro model. This one's open to both new and existing customers too (as long as they're on an unlimited plan) and those who switch over from another carrier will get an additional $200 gift card. Put together, this is one of the strongest deals out there right now and well worth considering. See this same deal on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. (opens in new tab)

Apple iPhone 12: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Perhaps the best Verizon deal on the entire site for those on a budget is with the humble iPhone 12. Right now, you don't even need a trade-in to get this device for free, just a new line on an unlimited data plan. While there are more recent devices available for free under the same terms (see below), we think this is a stellar option. Not only is this device still worth $699 new, but its modern design, powerful chip, and full 5G capability still make it a top choice as of 2022. 

Apple iPhone 13 mini: free with a new unlimited data plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Alternatively, you could trade a bigger screen for a more powerful chipset and go for the iPhone 13 mini, which is also free with a new unlimited data line with this week's Verizon deals. Is this a better promo than that on the iPhone 12 above? It's a tough call, and it's going to depend on what you value. If you want a roomier screen, then go for the iPhone 12. If you'd prefer a speedier chip and slight improvements to the camera, then go for the iPhone 13 mini.

Apple iPhone SE 2022: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Another amazing Verizon deal this week, you can get the brand new Apple iPhone SE 2022 on the house right now with a new line on an unlimited data plan. While this is technically the newest device of the three, we'd definitely rank this one slightly below the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 promotions above in overall value, assuming you're going for a 'free' device. It's got a powerful chip, sure, but an outwardly older design and $499 asking price make slightly poorer value in comparison.

Apple iPhone 13: save up to $600 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon has seemingly pared back its iPhone deals on the older iPhone 13 to make way for the new devices. Its current maximum trade-in rebate isn't the highest we've seen and it's slightly overshadowed by the $800 you can get on the iPhone 14. Our advice? Go for the newer device if you're interested in getting a flagship at this carrier or alternatively check out this week's promotion on the iPhone 13 mini below.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro: $10/mo with unlimited plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon's switched up its deals on the excellent iPhone 13 Pro this past week thanks to the release of newer devices. Gone is the usual trade-in rebate, in favor of a new reduced monthly rate of just $10 - which doesn't need the associated trade-in, thankfully. It's just a straight-up discount that's going to apply to anyone who picks up this still-amazing device on an unlimited data plan at the carrier.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max: $15/mo with unlimited plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Alternatively, get that same type of discount applied to 2021's top-of-the-line iPhone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max. No trade-ins are needed here to get this absolutely amazing device for just $15 per month, simply pick one up with an eligible unlimited data plan. Note, as with most of Verizon's iPhone deals this week, new customers will also get an additional $200 gift card if they switch over.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: save up to $1,000 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon's deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 offer an incredibly strong trade-in rebate of up to $1,000, which is as good as anything you'll find on the market right now. In our eyes, this is a welcome switch up from the $800 offer before - even though that came with the alternate choice of a 'buy-one get-$800 off second' multi-buy promotion. This week's deal is open to both existing and new customers, although only the latter will get the $200 gift card being offered to newbies.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: save up to $1,000 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
And, if you prefer a clamshell design or a slightly cheaper option, consider this week's Verizon deals on the new Galaxy Z Flip 4. The maximum trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 is actually enough to cover the entire cost of the device in this case, so it's definitely one of the better premium Android phone deals on the market currently. New customers will also get that additional $200 gift card if they make the switch over from another carrier.

Google Pixel 6: save up to $700 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
In comparison to other flagship devices, you'll get a slightly smaller maximum trade-in rebate on the Google Pixel 6 - namely up to $700. That's still enough to cover the entire device but it's perhaps a little weaker when you compare it to this week's choices for the iPhone 14 or Galaxy S22, for example. The arrival of the Google Pixel 6a (see below), is also offering a great budget-orientated option if you're looking to save some cash.

Google Pixel 6a: free with an unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon may have discontinued the 'free without a trade-in' promo on the standard Google Pixel 6 but you can actually still find the exact same deal on the newer Google Pixel 6a. While slightly more budget-orientated than the standard Pixel 6, the 6A still features that powerful Tensor chip under the hood. Considering you don't have to trade in here this is a very decent option indeed for Android users.

Samsung Galaxy S22: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Big trade-in rebates are the focus on the Galaxy S22 with this week's Verizon deals, with the maximum saving of up to $800 being enough to actually cover the entire cost of the device. This one is par for the course but a fantastic deal overall if you're looking to bag a powerful Android flagship at the carrier. As with most devices, new customers can also get an additional $200 gift card if they switch over from another carrier. Note, this deal is also available on the Galaxy S22 Plus (opens in new tab).

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: save up to $1,000 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
If you're looking for a premium Android flagship, consider this week's Verizon deals on the stunning Galaxy S22 Ultra. As you'd expect, promotions on this device closely follow those on the other two devices in the series with a focus on trade-in rebates. With a maximum saving of up to $1,000 off with a new unlimited line, you're looking at cutting the exorbitant price on this device right down to size.

Google Pixel 6 Pro: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
The excellent Google Pixel 6 Pro is back in stock with this week's Verizon deals and offers a maximum saving of up to $800 with a trade-in. This is a good promotion but we'd consider holding off on this one. Why? Well, the Google Pixel 7 is set to launch within the next month or so and could offer an excellent high end Android option.

Apple iPhone 13 mini: free with a new unlimited data plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
This free iPhone 13 mini deal is perhaps the best iPhone offer at Verizon right now. The iPhone 13 mini packs Apple's latest tech in a smaller form factor than its larger flagship counterparts. In the past, we've seen this device go for as little as $5 per month without the need for a trade. If you're seeking a small-yet-powerful iPhone, hop on this deal as soon as you can. Oh, and if you're switching from another provider you'll score a $200 gift card, too — big win!

Apple iPhone 12: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Hey, the iPhone 12 is still a top-choice handset in 2022. If the newer iPhone 13 mini is too tiny for your tastes, take advantage of this deal instead — you don't even need a trade-in, just a new line on an unlimited data plan. It's otherwise worth $699 new (same as the 13 mini above) and has a modern design, powerful chip, and full 5G capability. And if you're switching from another provider, you can score a $200 gift card in the process.

Apple iPhone SE 2022: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Another amazing Verizon deal this week, you can get the brand new Apple iPhone SE 2022 on the house right now with a new line on an unlimited data plan. Some may prefer to opt for this new budget device instead due to its speedier chip. At $499 new, it's slightly less valuable than the iPhone 12, however.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Here's an older deal from Verizon but one that's well worth considering. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE isn't the latest in the range anymore (see the S21 FE above) but it's still a stellar choice - even in 2022. Not only does it have a great camera and speedy processor but it's fully 5G compatible to boot. It's just simply a great Android flagship for those who don't want to fork out the extra for something like a Pixel 6 or Galaxy S22.

AMC+ subscription: now available on select unlimited data plans (opens in new tab)
Sign up for an unlimited data plan at Verizon and you'll now score up to 12 months of AMC+ on the house. This is a brand new promo from Verizon just this past week and joins the already impressive lineup of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, Google Play, and other excellent streaming perks. Note - to get the full 12 months free you'll need to sign up to the Play More plan and upwards, Start Unlimited customers will only score 6 months for free. 

Upgrade to a 5G device: up to $800 off select phones (opens in new tab)
(opens in new tab)Most of the big Verizon deals on our list include offers for new lines or new customers specifically. However, if you're an existing customer then you're not excluded from a saving. In fact, if you're trading in an older device you can still get yourself up to $800 off one of the very latest flagships. Depending on the device, that's actually enough to score some of the cheaper options for free. 

Switch: get $500 when you bring your own device (opens in new tab)
Bring your own phone over to Verizon and they'll give you a redeemable $500 e-gift card to spend pretty much anywhere online. You'll have to redeem this offer yourself via their Digital Rebate Centre (opens in new tab) within 30-days of your switch, but if you do happen to bring your own device over, you'll also have the option to skip your credit check.

Plan deal: students save up to $25 a month with unlimited plans (opens in new tab)
If you're an actively enrolled student right now you can save $25 off your monthly plan when you pick up two unlimited plans and $10 if you pick up a single unlimited plan. You'll have to provide the relevant identification but you're potentially going to get four years of savings if you meet the requirements.

The Disney Bundle: free with select Unlimited plans (opens in new tab)
Save an extra $14 per month on The Disney Bundle when you purchase a Verizon phone plus a qualifying Unlimited plan. Along with Disney+, you'll also have access to Hulu (with ads) and ESPN+.

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): save $100, plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
The 9th generation 10.2 iPad is now on sale at Verizon and available with a nice little trade-in rebate if you pick it up with a plan. While the cheapest device in the range, this one is a great pick if you're looking for a quality do-it-all tablet for streaming, games, and productivity. It's not as powerful as the other tablets (see below), but it'll give you great bang for the buck.

Apple iPad Air (2022): save $100, plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon deals on tablets this week also include excellent options on the latest Apple iPad Air 2022. This is the newest entry in the range and a superb pick if you like the idea of a mid-range slate with a decent mix of features and a reasonable price. As with all other Apple devices a nice little saving if available upfront for an LTE version, plus additional savings if you're looking to make a trade.

Apple iPad mini (2021): save $100, plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
And, if you prefer a smaller-sized tablet, that same excellent Verizon trade-in deal is also available on the latest Apple iPad Mini. Even better still, the carrier is offering an additional $100 saving if you pick up an LTE tablet via its online store. At just 8-inches, this tablet is much smaller and more bag-friendly than the other iPads. As you'd expect, however, it's still really powerful and features the same great design as its bigger siblings.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2021): save $100 plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Save yourself more than a few bucks with this week's Verizon deals on the latest new Apple iPad Pro 2021 models. In addition to $100 off the retail price, trade in an old device and get yourself a saving of up to $180 on your new slate. If you're looking for a powerful LTE tablet, this is one's a great choice as it not only has a super powerful M1 chip inside but one of the best displays you'll find on a tablet anywhere.

Not only does it have a superb AMOLED display capable of 120Hz, but it packs in a super speedy Snapdragon 8 chip inside.

Apple Watch Series 7: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
If you're looking for a new Apple Watch then you can trade-in for a nice little price cut with this week's Verizon deals. The Apple Watch 7 is the current king of the iOS wearables and a great pairing with any LTE plan if you're going to cut the connection to your phone. Note, we've regularly seen further price cuts for those buying these devices with iPhones recently, so it could be worth waiting for that promotion to return if you're looking for a bundle deal.

Apple Watch SE: up to $180 off with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
And that same trade-in rebate is also available on the Apple Watch SE this week - the more 'budget' orientated device of the two new Apple smartwatches. That lower price means a trade-in can potentially score you a watch for just $150 here, which is an absolute bargain when you consider how fully featured this smartwatch is.
