The best Verizon deals for September 2023: free iPhones, discounts on plans, and more

Apple iPhone 15 Pro: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at Verizon
On the surface, Verizon's opening iPhone 15 deals don't offer a huge departure from the usual trade-in rebates at the carrier. However, Verizon has relaxed its trade-in eligibility criteria to be more inclusive, which means you can trade in any iPhone in any condition and get up to $1,000 off a Pro model. This particular promotion is aimed at switchers since it's a "new line" deal but existing customers can still get up to $830 off a device here, which is really competitive. 

Apple iPhone 15: up to $830 off with a trade-in at Verizon
If you're more interested in the standard iPhone 15, Verizon's opening deals offer a really decent trade-in rebate of up to $830 off, which is enough to cover the entire cost of the device. If you're a new customer, then we'd recommend the deal on the Pro model above since it's got slightly better terms but upgraders will find a lot of value with this particular listing.

Apple iPhone 14: free with an unlimited data plan, plus $280 off an iPad and Apple Watch
While it's no longer the latest device in the range, Verizon's still offering it's best-ever deal on the excellent iPhone 14. Right now, no trade-ins are needed to get this device for free on an unlimited data plan - only a new line. While this is potentially still an annoying restriction for some, waiving the pesky trade-in criteria makes this device a lot more approachable now. Adding to the value further this week is the option to bundle in an Apple Watch for $5 per month and an additional $280 saving on an iPad - although you will pay for those device lines separately. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in (new line or upgrade)
Verizon's current deal on the new Galaxy Z flagships is one of the best you'll find anywhere right now if you're lining up a trade-in specifically. The massive rebate of up to $1,000 isn't just a match for the best we've ever seen from a carrier, but it applies to both new lines and upgrades. If you're thinking about jumping on the foldable bandwagon this is a fantastic option. See this same deal on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 here.

Samsung Galaxy S23: free with an unlimited data plan
This week's Verizon deals are also offering one of the best deals we've ever seen on the standard Samsung Galaxy S23. Like with the iPhone 14, you no longer need to trade in to get this flagship device for free - just a new line on an unlimited data plan, which is particularly handy if your current device isn't highly valued. Those looking to trade in will want to check out this week's deal on the Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra, both of which are available with a trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 off. 

Google Pixel 7: free with unlimited plan
Another superb flagship that's currently available for free alongside a new line on an unlimited data plan at Verizon this week is the Google Pixel 7. Although some may prefer to go for the more expensive Galaxy S23, we'd still recommend the Pixel 7 as a competitive option thanks to its superb camera features. Note, that the Pixel 7 Pro is also available for free at Verizon this week, although only with an eligible trade-in.

Switch: get $540 when you bring your own device
Don't want a new device? No problem - Verizon also offers up to $540 promo credit for those who bring their device over from a rival carrier. Note that this credit is applied over 36 months and only applies to unlimited data plans. You'll also need to be on the Unlimited Plus plan to get the full amount (you'll get $180 with the Unlimited Plus plan).

Switch: $200 gift card when you buy a device over $699
Alternatively, those who are looking to pick up a device at Verizon can get a $200 gift card if they port their number over from another carrier. According to T&Cs, this one is eligible with devices over $699.99 in value and needs an Unlimited Plus plan. It does, however, stack with the usual trade-ins and freebies that you get otherwise with Verizon's deals on phones.

Plan deal: students save up to $25/mo with unlimited plans
Verizon offers a hefty discount for actively enrolled students, with a saving of up to $25 per month on the Welcome Unlimited plan. From the small print, it appears that you can have up to two lines with this promo and it also applies if you bring your own device. You will, however, need to log in to prove your eligibility.

Verizon 5G Home Plus: free NFL Sunday Ticket or Samsung Chromebook Go
Verizon's 5G Home Plus offers a cost-effective home internet package that starts at just $35 per month if you're an existing mobile user. Right now, this week's Verizon deals are also throwing in a free Samsung Galaxy ChromeBook Go or an NFL Sunday Ticket worth up to $449.

Verizon Fios internet: from $25/mo when you bundle in a mobile plan
Verizon deals don't just stop at mobile devices, they also extend to home internet packages. If you're looking to cut down on your bills in their entirety, it's a great idea to consider switching up your pricey home internet setup to a more consolidated option. While Fios by itself starts at $49.99/mo as a standalone package, those with an existing Verizon mobile plan can bundle in their home internet for as little as $25/mo, a significant saving. 

Apple iPad (2022): save $100, plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon
The 10th generation 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
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
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 11 (2022): save $100 plus up to $180 with trade-in at Verizon

And, those same excellent Verizon deals are also available on the Apple Watch SE this week - the more 'budget' orientated device of the two new Apple smartwatches. This superb watch essentially forgoes some of the fancier bells and whistles while still retaining all the most useful features for most people. It's a great option, and one that's available with either a decent trade-in rebate of up to $180 right now.
