FREE IPHONE: Verizon is offering up to $1,100 off any iPhone 17 Pro with select phone trade-ins.


Haven't you heard? Apple has announced the new line of iPhones, including the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The new range is officially launch date on Friday, Sept. 19. If you've been eyeing up these new iPhones, Verizon is offering a smart and free way to nab something for nothing.

The service provider is offering up to $1,100 (the cost of the iPhone 17 Pro) off a new iPhone 17 when you trade in your old phone and sign up for an eligible unlimited plan. Verizon says the trade-in can be in any condition, guaranteed.

If this doesn't appeal to you, Verizon is offering more than just iPhone deals. Get up to $400 off a new Apple Watch when you trade in any eligible smartwatch on Unlimited Plus, or if you buy a new iPhone 17 Pro on Unlimited Ultimate with select trade-in, you'll get the Apple Watch Series 11 and iPad (A16) for free, the Apple Watch SE 3 or Apple Watch Series 11 for free, or $500 off the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
