If you've been patiently waiting for new iPhone SE 2022 deals to drop at Verizon, then your wait is over - you can now score yourself a device on the house with the carrier's latest promo.

Specifically, you'll get an additional device for free when you purchase the first outright with a new line on an unlimited plan. Up until this point, promotions on this new budget Apple device have been curiously missing from the carrier's site - especially trade-ins and multi-line savings like this one.

Thankfully that's changing now. However, it is worth noting that you will need a line on each device to be eligible here, so factor that into your costs before you jump in with your free phone. These lines can be pricey, even with multi-line discounts.

With all that said, the lower price tag of the iPhone SE 2022 makes it a better candidate for this type of Verizon deal versus the usual flagship. It's actually under half the price of some of the competition, so it's fairly easy to commit to buying it outright. Being fully 5G compatible makes it a great pairing with Verizon's speedy wideband 5G network.

Should you buy the new iPhone SE 2022?

The latest iPhone SE 2022 is a powerful if somewhat retro-looking budget device from Apple that slots neatly into a price point just shy of $500. It's a great choice if you're looking for a fully-featured phone without breaking the bank - if you don't mind its slightly old-school aesthetic, that is.

It's powered by the same Bionic A14 chip as the iPhone 13 and also comes with iOS 15 right out the box - the latest version of software from Apple. Its camera is decent, if not quite the match of the 13, and the screen is also vibrant, albeit on the small side due to it only being 4.7-inches. Based on the original iPhone 8 design, this new budget device is now dwarfed by today's flagships. It's cheap though, and comes with the benefit of being both pocket and palm-friendly, unlike some of the bigger modern phones out there.
