If you're wondering which VPN you need to protect your new iPhone, you're in the right place. It's not just iPhone's you can save on at the moment, the best Black Friday VPN deals will help protect you and your shiny new device for less.

We've tested a bunch of VPNs for iPhones, both through intense lab testing by VPN Technical Editor, Mike Williams, and day-to-day functionality checks, so we know which VPNs are best. But there's no need to just trust us – these services have earned over a million combined reviews on the App Store.

NordVPN: from $2.99/month (was $3.39) with 3 months extra

With nearly 640,000 App Store reviews, NordVPN is rated 4.7/5 by Apple users and is best VPN available according to our expert team.

It's superb with streaming services, offers strong security protocols, and has some brilliant additional features on more premium plans.

That said, it's not the cheapest VPN, and, despite its rave reviews, iPhone users do miss out on a fair amount of its best features.

$2.99 a month is the lowest price it's been in 2025, though. So, if you fancy trying NordVPN, now is the time.

ExpressVPN: from $2.44/month with 4 months extra

ExpressVPN: from $2.44/month (was $3.49) with 4 months extra

With more than 400,000 reviews, ExpressVPN's 4.7/5 rating is among the best in the VPN industry, and we agree.


While it's not the most feature-laden app, it offers top-notch encryption capabilities – including post-quantum encryption – and the most locations of any VPN.


What's more, its apps are super clean and simple to use, they're available on every platform, and can be set up in seconds.


ExpressVPN is at its lowest price EVER right now. Starting from $2.44/month, we recommend the Basic plan to benefit from its top security for less than $70.

Private Internet Access: $2.03/month with 4 months extra

As an industry veteran, it's no surprise that PIA has racked up over 130,000 reviews, and its 4.7/5 rating shows how well it's performed throughout.


It is a more technical VPN, so don't expect the sleek interfaces you'd see from NordVPN or ExpressVPN, but it gives you a serious amount of control.


You get access to boatloads of data surrounding your connections, options to implement automations alongside your specific settings, and, of course, top-notch security protocols.


While its price hasn't dropped this year, 4 months extra is a huge bonus given the low cost.

Surfshark: $1.99/month  + 3 months extra

Surfshark: $1.99/month (was $2.19) + 3 months extra

Surfshark has racked up over 100,000 reviews since it launched and averages 4.7/5, reaffirming why we think it's the best cheap VPN.


It's super-quick, looks great on iPhone, and has loads of features you'd never see elsewhere. We especially love Alternative ID, which can help you generate a whole new digital identity.

While it performs well with streaming services, it has fewer locations than the likes of NordVPN and ExpressVPN, and hasn't quite got the same encryption capabilities either.


No matter, it's a seriously capable VPN for less than $2 per month. We recommend the One plan, it's $2.19 per month right now and has the best balance of features and value.

IPVanish: now with up to 10GB eSIM data + 2TB encrypted storage

IPVanish: now with up to 10GB eSIM data + 2TB encrypted storage

IPVanish was once ranked as our best VPN overall and with more than 100,000 reviews at 4.6/5, it's clearly still loved by many.


Its iOS app gives the feel of something used by a Bond villain's secret weapon, yet it delivers over 150 locations, loads of classic VPN features, and reliable VPN protocols.


However, it's not quite as quick as NordVPN and Surfshark, doesn't offer the security you could expect from ExpressVPN, and isn't flawless with streaming services.


That said, its Black Friday deal is worth considering. Up to 10GB of eSIM data and 2TB of encrypted cloud storage is up for grabs if you pick up a plan.
