Verizon just rolled out some seriously impressive deals on Apple's brand-new iPhone 17 lineup, and you could walk away with a free phone if you play your cards right. The carrier is offering up to $1,100 off any iPhone 17 model when you trade in an eligible device and sign up for the right plan.
As reported by The Mobile Report, both new customers and existing Verizon subscribers can take advantage of these savings, which could potentially get you an iPhone 17, iPhone Air, or iPhone 17 Pro at no cost.
Here's how it works: You'll need to trade in a qualifying phone and maintain Verizon's top-tier Unlimited Ultimate plan to get the full $1,100 discount. The good news? Your trade-in device can be completely broken and still qualify for the deal. If you've got a cracked iPhone sitting in a drawer, this might be the perfect time to put it to use.
The best trade-in values come from newer devices like iPhone 13 or later models, Samsung Galaxy S21 series and up, Google Pixel 6 and newer, or recent Motorola Razr phones. Even if you have an older phone like an iPhone 11 or Samsung Galaxy S10, you can still save up to $830 on the highest plan.
Your savings depend on which Verizon plan you choose. Unlimited Ultimate customers get the full $1,100 off, while Unlimited Plus subscribers save $830, and those on the basic Unlimited Welcome plan get $300 off.
Verizon sweetens the deal even more for iPhone 17 Pro buyers on the Ultimate plan. You can snag a free Apple Watch SE 3 or Apple Watch Series 11, or get $500 off the premium Apple Watch Ultra 3. Trade in your old smartwatch too, and you might even score a free iPad along with your Apple Watch.
These promotions are already live, so you don't have to wait for the iPhone 17's official release to lock in your savings. Just remember that like most carrier deals, you'll be paying for your discounted phone through monthly credits over time, so you'll need to stick with Verizon to get the full benefit.
