How to Save Money on Your Next iPhone Purchase
Buy Refurbished Models – You should consider buying an iPhone from Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store offers. These are smartphones that have been returned, thoroughly inspected, and restored to like-new condition.
You can save up to 15% OFF the original iPhone price and have a one-year warranty and full functional testing.
Trade-in – Apple has in place a trade-in program that allows you to exchange your old iPhone for credit toward a new one, and currently you can get between $45 to $630 for your trade-in.

Go for Carrier Promotions – Cellular companies always offer promotions, like discounts, trade-in offers, or bundled services.
For example, existing and new customers at AT&T, Boost Mobile, T-Mobile or Verizon can save up to $1000 when you trade-in you old mobile phone and get a new iPhone but have to subscribe to a carrier monthly plan, which can be expensive.
Buy older or smaller iPhone models – when choosing a previous-generation iPhone or a model with fewer features, you can save a couple of hundred dollars per phone.
If you don’t have the money to pay in full for a new iPhone, then choose the Apple financing plan that allows you to pay for your iPhone in installments without interest, up to 24 months interest free. Also, consider the Apple Card and you’ll get 3% Daily Cash back on your purchase, like getting a 3% discount.
Another way to pay less for an iPhone is to wait until there are big seasonal sales like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or Amazon Prime Day. Last year Apple offered up to $200 in Apple Gift Cards for buying an Apple iPhone online or in-store during the Apple Black Friday Sale Event.

As you already know, the bigger the storage capacity, the bigger the price. If you have decided on an Apple iPhone model, then what you have to do next is to choose the storage capacity for your new phone.
Check your current smartphone usage under Settings > General > iPhone Storage, and if you don’t use too much storage, opting for a lower-capacity model can save you money.
