Best iPhone 15 Pre-Order Deals

Apple offers the same carrier deals, which is essentially a “free” iPhone 15 when you trade in your older iPhone. That’s an iPhone 11 or newer. But Apple does also allow you to finance through them, as well as the iPhone Upgrade Program.

If you finance through Apple, it’ll cost you $33.29/month for 24 months without a trade-in. You can trade-in a phone for up to $650 off your iPhone 15, however.

With the iPhone Upgrade Program, it’ll start at $39.50 per month for 24 months. You will be able to upgrade every year on this program and AppleCare is included – hence the higher price here. But you can’t trade in your old phone to Apple on the Upgrade program.

Best Buy isn’t doing much here, in terms of deals. You can trade-in your device to Best Buy, but honestly, you’d do better at the carriers. Unless you want an unlocked iPhone 15. Then Best Buy is your best bet.

With the purchase of any iPhone 15, Best Buy is giving you a 1-month membership to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, 3-months of Apple TV+, 4-months of Apple Music, and 4-months of Apple News+. Which is available for new and returning subscribers.

AT&T is the only carrier that is offering the same deals for every unlimited plan. Which is going to get you a free iPhone 15 if you trade-in a iPhone 11 or newer. This will be done via bill credits over 36 months. So you’ll need to stick with AT&T for 3 years and if you leave early, you’ll forfeit any remaining bill credits.

T-Mobile (and Verizon for that matter) have made things a bit confusing with different deals for different unlimited plans. So let’s break it down.

For those on the Go5G Plus plan, you can get an iPhone 15 for free after trading in an iPhone 11 or newer. If you purchase through Apple, this is going to include a $365 instant trade-in credit (instant, after you send your device into Apple for trade-in), and the remaining $434 will be over bill credits, over the course of 24 months.

Those of you on the Go5G, T-Mobile One, One Plus, Magenta, Magenta Max, or Magenta Plus plans, you’ll get the iPhone 15 for $17.88 per month for 24 months, after a trade-in. This includes an instant trade-in of $370, with no bill credits. Which means that you aren’t stuck with T-Mobile for the next two years. Something to consider.

Verizon has also separated their deals based on which plan you’re on. So let’s explain it a bit.

If you’re on Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate, Unlimited Plus, One Unlimited, 5G Get More, 5G Do More, or 5G Play More plan, you can get a free iPhone 15 with trade-in over 36 months. Like with T-Mobile, when you buy from Apple, the trade-in credit is being split. So you’ll get $365 instantly, while the remaining $434 will be over the course of 36 months in bill credits.

Now, those on the Unlimited Welcome, Welcome Unlimited, or 5G Start plans, you’ll be getting an iPhone 15 for $11.91 per month for 36 months, after trade-in. That comes with a $370 instant trade-in and no bill credits.
