The best iPhone SE deals for November 2024

Apple iPhone SE 2022: free with unlimited plan at Verizon
Verizon's current iPhone SE 2022 deal offers the device for free alongside an unlimited data plan - a great option if you don't want to go down the usual trade-in route to get a discount on the device. Overall, this is a great promo but it's matched by similar promotions on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone 15. Right now, several devices are available for free at the carrier alongside an unlimited plan, although the expensive devices are locked behind the more premium tiers.

Apple iPhone SE 2022: $1.99/mo with an unlimited data plan at AT&T
AT&T is currently offering the iPhone SE for just $2 per month alongside an unlimited data plan - a very strong option considering you don't even need the usual trade-in criteria to be eligible. This is, so far, the cheapest we've seen this device at the carrier so it's highly recommended if you want a decent phone on a budget. If you're looking to trade, we'd also highly recommend going for a more premium device - such as the iPhone 16 series, which are available with trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 off.
