The end of the month is usually a good time for last-minute deals and Verizon just surprised us with an epic iPhone deal that's perfect for Apple fans on a budget. 

Through February 28, you can get the iPhone 13 for free at Verizon. To get this deal, you'll need to open a new line with an eligible 5G unlimited data plan. It's one of the best iPhone 13 deals we've seen because unlike may deals, this promo doesn't require a trade-in. However, it's worth noting this deal is available online only.

iPhone 13 deals don't get better than this. For a limited time at Verizon, you can get the iPhone 13 for free when you open a new 5G unlimited plan. (This offer excludes the "Welcome" unlimited plan. Purchase must be made online). Plus, switch from a competing carrier and you'll get a $200 credit. 

It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the iPhone 13 is one of the best iPhones on the market. Normally sold for $699 at Apple, this Verizon phone deal knocks it to $0. In our iPhone 13 review, we said it offers a nice balance of good features for the price. 

It sports a 6.1-inch 2532 x 1170 Super Retina XDR OLED display, A15 Bionic CPU, 128GB of storage, dual 12MP (wide/ultrawide) rear lenses, and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. In real world performance, we said it remains one of the best phones for your money. We found its cameras offer excellent low-light performance and we also liked the phone's Photographic Style filters and Cinematic mode focus-tracking ability. Battery life was also impressive enduring for 10 hours and 33 minutes in our tests.
