Verizon Holiday Deal: Get a Free iPhone 16 Pro With a New Line
Verizon is offering a free iPhone 16 to customers who sign for an eligible plan. You may even qualify for a free iPad.

In September, Apple officially launched the iPhone 16 Pro at its annual fall event. Now, Verizon is offering it to customers for free with no trade-in required. Customers need to sign up for the Unlimited Ultimate plan and a new line is required but you'll be able to score one of the best phones around. Thanks to the phone's new features, like enhanced audio performance and updated camera quality, we say it’s definitely worth upgrading to the iPhone 16.
