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

Apple iPhone 13: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
This week's Verizon deal on the iPhone 13 is directly in line with what we've come to expect from the carrier, with the device being available for 'free' via a trade-in rebate. While you'll need a new line on an unlimited data plan and a fairly recent device handy to trade, this week's maximum rebate of up to $800 is enough to cover the entire device. New customer? You can also get an additional $200 gift card as a welcome gift if you make the switch this week.

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 is available on 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 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. A close second to the iPhone 12 deal above, 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.

Apple iPhone 13 mini: save up to $700 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
A nice middle ground between the iPhone 13 and the iPhone SE cost-wise, the smaller iPhone 13 mini is also available with the same basic trade-in rebates as most flagships at Verizon. Again, we've seen this one go for as little as $5 per month with a new line (no trade) recently but this week's deal is definitely better if you're looking for a trade in. This week's maximum discount of $700, open to both new and existing customers, is technically enough to bag this device on the house.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Verizon's deals on the iPhone 13 Pro remain the same this week a with a big focus on trade-in rebates. Currently, the maximum rebate on this one is the same as the standard iPhone 13 and not quite enough to get it for free. We've seen discounts of up to $1,000 before on this device but $800 off is still really good. As with most trade-in rebates at Verizon this week, this deal is open to both new and existing customers, although upgraders will need a 5G data plan to be eligible. 

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
You guessed it - those same excellent Verizon deals are also available on the more premium iPhone 13 Pro Max. As with on the standard 13 Pro, your saving on this device is going to be locked behind a trade-in and a new line on an unlimited data plan. Unfortunately, the carrier's old maximum saving of up to $1,000 doesn't apply right now - although getting $800 is still enough to cut down the costs significantly.

Google Pixel 6: free with a new line on an unlimited data plan at Verizon (opens in new tab)
No trade-in required: One of this year's best Verizon deals is back again this week on the excellent Google Pixel 6. No trades are required to bag this flagship device (which is worth $699) for free right now, simply a new line on an unlimited data plan. For outright value, this one is really, really hard to beat right now and well worth considering. New customers can also get an additional $200 gift card if they switch over from another carrier.

Samsung Galaxy S22: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
For you Android lovers out there, consider this week's Verizon deals on the fantastic Galaxy S22 series. With a superb chip, great screen, and all-around premium design, these phones are a perfect alternative to the iPhone 13. Speaking of which, those same excellent trade-in rebates of up to $800 - available to both new and existing customers - are up for grabs here. You will, however, need a new line on an unlimited data plan to be eligible here, so bear that in mind. Note, check out this deal on the Galaxy S22 Plus (opens in new tab).

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: save up to $800 with a trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
And, if you're looking for something a little more premium, 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 $800 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)
Annoyingly, Verizon's deals on the more premium Google Pixel 6 Pro have also suffered the same fate as the standard device this week, with the $5 per month promo being replaced with a trade-in rebate. On the plus side, the $800 maximum rebate being offered on this device is still really good and could see you paying just $99 for this device over a three-year contract.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE: save up to $700 with an eligible trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
Also available with this week's Verizon deals is the Galaxy S21 FE  - Samsung's latest mid-range smartphone. It's a little bigger than the standard S21 and a little smaller than the S21 Plus, which makes it a great middle-ground if you think a 6.4-inch size will appeal. Right now, you're looking at a maximum trade-in rebate of up to $700 on this device. Unfortunately, the old 'BOGO' promo isn't up for grabs this week.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: save up to $800 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
If you can afford it, there are fantastic Verizon deals on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 - Samsung's latest foldable flagship. As with all the other Samsung devices on our list this week, Verizon has pared down its offerings on this device to just an $800 trade-in rebate. That means no more BOGO promo for now. That said, the rebate was the better deal of the two anyway so it's not a huge loss.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: save up to $800 with trade-in at Verizon (opens in new tab)
And the Fold 3 isn't the only new 'foldable' device from Samsung that's now included in our Verizon deals roundup - there's also the Flip 3. This one's featuring a vertical clamshell design that's refreshingly old-school and makes it a real pocket-friendly gem. It's also way cheaper than the Fold 3, despite having just as powerful of a processor. Those same excellent trade-in rebates of up to $800 are available on this device, open to both new and existing customers as long as they're going for an eligible unlimited data plan.

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.

Samsung Galaxy A02s: free with a new line (opens in new tab)
If you're loyal to the Samsung brand, then you could consider the new Galaxy A02s - the current budget offering from the Android giant. This one's got a really huge 5,000MAh battery, dual-camera system, Snapdragon 450 processor, and rather large 6.5-inch display too. Like many budget devices, this one also supports microSD cards of up to 1TB if you'd like to expand your storage.

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.

Depending on the device, that's actually enough to score some of the cheaper options for free.

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.
