Subj : Verizon's Black Friday iPhone 17 deal gets you a free phone, iPad To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed Nov 19 2025 17:30:09 Verizon's Black Friday iPhone 17 deal gets you a free phone, iPad, and Apple Watch - but read the fine print carefully Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:59:52 +0000 Description: Verizon is throwing in a free iPad and Apple Watch with its Black Friday iPhone 17 deal today - but note, you'll need a FULL STORY ====================================================================== Verizon just launched its early Black Friday deals this week, and they include the best promotions I've seen on the iPhone 17 series at the carrier since the devices were launched back in September. Right now, you don't even need a trade-in to get several devices in the range for free alongside new unlimited data lines. On top of that, the carrier is also throwing in an Apple Watch and iPad alongside the standard iPhone 17 as bonus gifts. As you'd expect, there are a few caveats here - namely, both those accessories require cellular lines of their own to be claimed. I've deep-dived on this particular issue further down the page, including how much that will cost on average if you want to explore these freebies. Regardless of whether you're interested in a free iPad and Apple Watch, the main selling point for today's Verizon plans is that you no longer need a super high-end plan to get the iPhone 17 for free. Previously, you needed a line on the pricey Ultimate plan, but now? It's available on the Welcome unlimited plan, which makes it a much better budget option at the carrier. And if you are looking to upgrade to the Ultimate plan, Verizon's current deal offers the stunning iPhone 17 Pro for free, no trade-in required. I've attached more details on that deal just below. Verizon Black Friday iPhone 17 deals Apple iPhone 17: free with a new unlimited line, plus free Apple Watch and iPad at Verizon Here's Verizon's headline Black Friday deal on the excellent iPhone 17. Not only can you get the device for free with a new line on one of the carrier's unlimited plans, but you can also throw in a free iPad and Apple Watch. A few caveats apply here - like you'll need to take out cellular lines on those accessories to claim them. With that said, however, you don't need to trade-in for the free phone here and it's also eligible on the cheaper myPlan options at Verizon. Previously, you needed the really high-end plans to get a free iPhone 17, so this is a fantastic deal. View Deal Apple iPhone 17 Pro: free with a new unlimited line at Verizon Moving on to the iPhone 17 Pro, Verizon's current Black Friday deal lets you take this device home for free without the usual trade-in criteria. You will still need a new line on the carrier's higher-end Ultimate unlimited plan, but this is a huge $30 per month saving on this stunning flagship. Unfortunately, you can't bundle in a free iPad and Apple Watch here (like with the standard iPhone 17), but this is still one of the best Verizon deals yet on a device that we rate massively .

(Image credit: Apple) The freebies are the latest Apple models Worth $499 each at full retail price Required lines can cost between $17.50 to $30/mo extra The accessories bundled with this Verizon Black Friday deal are the cellular versions of the latest Apple Watch Series 11 and iPad 11. These freebies would cost $1,000 if you bought them outright at full retail price, so on paper, this is a fantastic deal. Of course, the major catch here is that you'll need to sign up for accessory cellular lines to claim the devices. If you get the iPhone 17 on the entry-level Welcome Unlimited plan, the accessory cellular lines will be at least $30 per month extra on top of your phone plan with both devices. It's possible to get those accessory lines down to just $17.50/mo with the highest-end Ultimate plan, but that in itself presents a conundrum. If you're going for the pricier unlimited plan, why not just go for Verizon's deal on the iPhone 17 Pro? If it were my money, I'd be tempted to either get the standard iPhone 17 for free on the Welcome plan and keep it cheap, or go all-out and get the iPhone 17 Pro with the Ultimate plan. In both cases, I'd probably skip the accessories and just focus on the phone deals - which are already fantastic considering you don't need to trade-in.
