The best iPhone 15 Pro Max deals for October 2024: up to $1,000 off

You'll find all of this week's best iPhone 15 Pro Max deals neatly lined up and compared right here on this page. If you're looking to save some cash on this admittedly pricey flagship then you've landed on the right page as there are some awesome discounts up for grabs. We've included options here from all the major carriers, Apple, and some other notable alternatives. 

Overall, the best iPhone 15 Pro Max deals tend to revolve around trading in an old device and unlimited plans at the major carriers. As of late 2024, this still tends to be the case but Verizon has recently introduced a really superb discount that doesn't require the usual trade-in. There are usually also a number of excellent prepaid choices too, which let you avoid the pricey unlimited postpaid plans in favor of something a little cheaper (expect to spend more upfront, though).

It's no surprise that the iPhone 15 Pro Max has proven to be one of the more popular devices in the current range. Upgrades to the camera and chipset make it the most powerful device yet, while the subtle changes to the design and new titanium chassis give it a fresher look versus the competition. Is it worth the upgrade? Well, that will depend on your needs, but today's iPhone 15 Pro Max deals could help make that decision much easier.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: $10/mo with a new line, plus cheap accessories at Verizon
Verizon's current deal on the iPhone 15 Pro Max might just be one of the best one the carrier's entire site. Right now, no trade-ins are needed at all to get this device for just $10/mo alongside a line on an Ultimate Unlimited plan. While the plan is pricey here, you're essentially paying a third of what you'd usually fork out for this still-great device. Note, you can also get $120 off Apple Watches and $280 off iPads right now as a bundle deal but note that you will need to pay for additional cellular lines if you pick up some cheap accessories.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max: up to $630 off with a trade-in at Apple
If you're looking for an unlocked device, then Apple is going to be your only choice, unfortunately. The good news, however, is that Apple has its own trade-in program that offers pretty good rebates of up to $630 on fully unlocked devices. If you're handing over an iPhone 14 Pro Max in good condition, you'll be able to score the full amount here, but the iPhone 14 will still fetch up to $430.

iPhone 15 Pro Max deals: FAQ

Is the iPhone 15 Pro Max worth upgrading to?

• A17 Bionic Pro chip offers better gaming performance
• Quicker at AI integrated tasks
• Upgraded zoom and sensor for camera
• Titanium chassis reduces weight
• USB-C port with USB 3.0 speeds

Sometimes Apple can be guilty of incremental upgrades for its next generation of flagship devices, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max features solid improvements to nearly every aspect of the device. Not only has the design received a make-over with its gorgeous brushed titanium chassis and neatly rounded-off edges, but internally it's received some significant upgrades.

At the heart of the device sits the A17 Bionic Pro, a chipset that utilizes the latest 3-nanometer process node to offer better power efficiency and overall performance for AI integration and gaming. While the chip is incrementally more powerful than the A16 for everyday tasks, it's up to 20% faster for gaming and up to twice as quick for AI-assisted tasks like photo editing, voice transcription, and auto-correct.

Camera-wise, avid mobile photographers will be glad to know that the 15 Pro Max not only features a slightly larger sensor (always handy for low-light capture) and a new 5x optical zoom that's exclusive to the Max model specifically. We're a little disappointed the Max doesn't have a 10x periscope zoom like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but there's no doubt that the Max will take fantastic pictures thanks to the 48MP sensor and host of software tricks that Apple implements well for its photos.

Another major new addition to the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the inclusion of a new Action Button - a control that replaces the old silence/mute button that's featured on every iPhone since its inception. This one is a welcome change since not only can that action button still function as a mute, but it can also be mapped to a number of apps, widgets, and custom functions. Essentially, you're going to be able to navigate straight to your favorite apps without having to deal with the home screens and menus. 

Finally, perhaps the best new feature for the 15 Pro Max - it now has a USB-C port instead of a lightning port. This isn't exactly a first for Apple since we've had USB-C on iPads and MacBooks for a while now, but it's the first time we've seen its inclusion on an iPhone. Unlike the USB 2.0 port on the standard iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Pro Max now supports USB 3.0 data transfer and charging speeds, which is always handy.
