Some of these deals, you'll notice, aren't actually from Amazon. That's because, excluding refurbished models, Amazon doesn't tend to do many discounts on Apple phones. Fortunately, Amazon's rivals are more than happy to fill that gap, even during Amazon's own special event.

Don't forget to check out the best Prime Day phone deals if you're interested in both iPhones and Android devices. Or if you want more than just an Apple phone, take a look at the links to the right for other fruit-branded goodies.

But without further ado, here are our top picks of the current Prime Day iPhone deals.

How to find the best iPhone deals

Mobile carriers: Some of the best iPhone deals can be found with various mobile carriers. The only catch is — in order to get their best deals, you'll have to switch to their service. You might also have to sign up for an unlimited plan, in some cases.
Check out mobile virtual network operators or MVNOs: MVNOs operate on the infrastructure of existing networks. For example, Verizon-owned Visible works on Verizon's network, whereas Mint Mobile uses T-Mobile's. These often have less costly plans than their bigger counterparts. Sometimes, there are some trade-offs like less readily available customer support or slightly slower data speeds.
Refurbs: Don't be afraid of them! Apple offers some of the best refurbs in the industry. They refurbish their iPhones to look as good as new and we especially like them because they're all backed by the same 1-year warranty you'd get with a new Apple device.
Trade-in your old phone for credit: Many carriers will give you a generous credit for an old phone that could range from $100 to as high as $1,000 off. As a result, it pays to keep your smartphone's cables, box, and accessories in good condition so you can get the most from your trade-in.
Wait for the new models (if you can): If Apple follows its traditional keynote timeframe, the iPhone 14 will likely to be unveiled sometime in September. Rumors indicate the new phone could have a sleeker new design, a faster A16 Bionic chip, and a sharper new main 48MP camera for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. If you can, we recommend waiting until Apple's September keynote before buying a new iPhone.
