When is the next iPhone coming out?
The iPhone 14 is being launched this week with pre-orders likely to go live Friday September 9 and that means that most of the previous models will get at least a little bit of a discount.
That will mean that you will be able to get a really good deal on the iPhone 13 devices as they still are some of Apple's best devices yet, offering a reduction in price and a boost in specs at the same time.
Does Apple have any 5G iPhone deals?
Apple finally joined the world of 5G in 2020 with the release of its iPhone 12 range. This includes four phones that offer this increased speed and latency, giving a decent amount of choice.
However, the most interesting is likely to be the iPhone 12 Mini. It is the smallest 5G phone around and despite its lower price tag, it still packs in a high-power processor and other important specs.
As for the other three - the iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, all three are some of the best smartphones on the market with market-leading specs in pretty much all areas - especially cameras and processors.
Now that Apple has released 5G iPhones, we would imagine all Apple devices that follow from now will be 5G or come with the option of 4G or 5G.
How can I get cheap iPhone deals?
There are a few ways to land yourself a cheap iPhone, mainly by going for older devices or the more affordable options. Depending on what you'd consider 'cheap' there are a few options.
The iPhone SE is the device that best fits the definition, offering super low prices for 2020 specs. In fact, the iPhone SE feels like the best cheap iPhone we've ever seen from Apple.
The iPhone 11 is also better value than it's ever been before. This handset can be yours at a far lower cost than usual after both saw some tremendous price drops.
Devices older than the iPhone X, while theoretically cheaper, are hard to come by. Stock has dried up on most of them and therefore good deals on them are rare. With that in mind, the iPhone SE, 11 and XR are the best choices on a budget.
When is the best time to buy iPhone deals?
Like a lot of the other questions here, there isn't an exact answer but there are certain times that can offer better prices on Apple's phones.
- New releases: Like all other phones, when a new iPhone comes out we frequently see the other devices in Apple's arsenal come down in price. With the iPhone 11 now out this is the time to invest. Your next Apple release will be in 2020.
- Black Friday: The yearly mega sale, Black Friday can be the perfect time to get iPhone deals. Every year we see phones come crashing down in price and we'll be shouting out the best offers to grab when the time comes back around.
- Amazon Prime Day: Amazon's impressive sale for Prime Subscribers, we almost always see a load of cheap iPhones appear during this two day sale, as long as you don't mind going SIM-free.
- Absolutely any day: Realistically, there isn't any specific time or place that is best for getting a new iPhone deal. There are price cuts, promotions and major discounts every day and you just have to catch them as they happen. Luckily, we will be catching all of them as they appear and gathering them in our chart at the top of this page.
What is the cheapest iPhone?
Right now, the cheapest iPhone you can get is the new 2020 iPhone SE. There are cheaper iPhones out there but these have now all been discontinued. The benefit of the iPhone SE is that it is cheap...but also very powerful.
The next cheapest iPhone after that which is still available is the iPhone XR. This is an older device that has clung on in the Apple world and can get you a full size iPhone at a decent price.
