Spring is typically a quieter stretch for phone promotions, with many shoppers turning their attention to travel plans and summer spending rather than upgrading their devices.
But Verizon is still offering a few solid ways to save on Apple devices. If you're planning to switch carriers, add a line or set up a family plan, the timing can still work in your favor.
Below are the standout deals and how they work, along with a few practical ways to save depending on how you plan to upgrade.
Apple and Verizon's new line deals
The strongest Verizon deals right now are tied to adding a new line, with the biggest discounts applied as monthly bill credits that can significantly offset the cost of a new device over time.
Apple iPhone 16 Plus with a new phone line
You can get the Apple iPhone 16 Plus for $0 per month over 36 months after bill credits, effectively saving $830.
It's a strong option for everyday users who want a large screen, reliable performance and a camera that's more than capable of taking photos, video and social sharing without stepping up to a Pro model.
Add four lines and bring your per-line cost down to $25 each
With Verizon's multiline pricing, the monthly cost drops when you add more lines. In this case, four lines on the Unlimited Welcome plan with Auto Pay come out to about $25 per line per month, plus taxes and fees.
Each phone is financed over 36 months at 0% APR, with the monthly device cost offset by bill credits. For example, a device with a full retail price of $729.99 is billed at about $20.27 per month, then reduced by an equal monthly credit, bringing the device cost down to $0, as long as you remain on an eligible plan.
Pros:
- Deep discounts that can cover the full cost of the device
- Good fit for families adding lines
- Spreads cost over time with no interest
Cons:
- Requires a new line and an eligible unlimited plan
- Savings are paid out monthly, not upfront
- You need to stay for the full 36 months to get the full value
Verizon Apple no trade-in deals: Upgrade without giving up your phone
Not every upgrade needs a phone trade-in. Verizon is offering select Apple deals that don't require you to hand over your current device, which can simplify the process and still deliver savings.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro no trade-in deal
Verizon is offering up to $739.99 in savings on the iPhone 17 Pro when you add a new line and sign up for an eligible unlimited plan. The device has a full retail price of $1,099.99, with the discount applied as monthly bill credits over 36 months.
That means you'll still finance the phone at its regular monthly cost, but those charges are offset over time as long as you remain on a qualifying plan. If you leave early or switch plans, the remaining credits typically stop, and you might be responsible for the remaining balance.
Bring your own device and lower your bill without upgrading
If you're not ready to upgrade, Verizon's bring-your-own-device (BYOD) option is a simple way to save. Instead of financing a new phone, you keep your current device and activate it on a new Verizon line.
With eligible unlimited plans, Verizon offers monthly bill credits for bringing your own phone, typically ranging from about $5 to $10 per month, depending on the plan. Those credits can last up to 36 months, helping reduce your overall wireless bill over time.
The setup is relatively straightforward, as long as your phone is unlocked and compatible with Verizon's network. Once activated, you'll get access to core plan features, including unlimited talk, text and data, plus 5G access and international texting.
Pros:
- Keep your current device as a backup
- Easier, faster upgrade process
- Solid discounts without trade-in requirements
Cons:
- Lower savings compared with trade-in offers
- Long-term commitment to receive full credits
- A higher-tier plan might be required
Certified pre-owned phone deals
If you're open to buying secondhand, Verizon's certified pre-owned phones can offer strong value without the full price of a new device.
Each phone is tested and inspected to ensure it's fully functional, then graded based on cosmetic condition, typically ranging from "good" to "great." That grading system helps set expectations around wear while giving you the flexibility to choose a lower price point or a like-new appearance.
Because these devices go through a certification process, they're generally a safer option than buying used from an unknown seller. For many shoppers, this can be a practical way to save on a reliable upgrade.
How to choose the right Verizon Apple deal
The best Verizon Apple deal depends less on the headline savings and more on how you plan to use your phone.
If you're adding lines or switching carriers, new line deals typically offer the biggest discounts. If you want a simpler upgrade, no trade-in offers can still deliver solid value without the extra steps. If your current phone still works well, bringing your own device or choosing a certified pre-owned model can help lower your overall costs.
The key is to look beyond the monthly price and consider the full 36-month commitment, including plan requirements and how long you expect to keep the line active.
