Verizon Black Friday deals: FAQ

Are Verizon Black Friday deals available in store?

Yep, Verizon Black Friday deals are usually available in store as well as online and they're usually exactly the same deals.

It's worth noting that there are sometimes online exclusives at Verizon, which are clearly marked on the carrier's website. This is generally the way with all Verizon deals, not just those over Black Friday so it's worth checking the various product pages online before you commit to purchasing either way.

If you're interested in visiting in-store, Verizon stores generally open at 8am on Black Friday. You should, however, enter your zip code here and check your local stores' timetable, just in case it's different.

Does Verizon have Black Friday deals for existing customers?

Yep. Although Verizon tends to heavily advertise its promotions for new customers, it always has some sort of option for existing customers to upgrade also. If you're lucky, the trade-in rebates for an upgrade will match those that new customers are entitled to, although this isn't always the case.

As a general rule of thumb, you'll be looking at around $440 to $800 as the maximum saving with an upgrade. You may also get access to the various accessory tie-in promotions, like being able to bundle in a free iPad with your plan (as long as you're willing to pay for a line).

Are there Verizon Black Friday deals for the iPhone 15?

Yep - there are already good Verizon Black Friday deals available on the latest iPhone 15 series. Right now you can trade-in any iPhone in any condition to get up to $1,000 off a new device alongside a new unlimited data line that is. You'll also be able to bundle in a free Apple TV 4K as a bonus gift and get six months of Apple One on the house.

The real question is - will these iPhone 15 deals get any better over Black Friday itself? For example, in last year's sale, Verizon offered a free iPad and Apple Watch alongside all iPhones, which could be a promotion that the carrier brings back on the big day. Right now it's too early to tell, but you can expect us to update this page with any additions if they crop up.
