iPhone 12 Black Friday deals — which model to get
As a reminder, there are four iPhone 12 models to consider: the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Although Apple has retired the "Pro" models, some carriers and retailers may still have limited stock of these iPhones. However, keep in mind that deals on the Pro models may be a little harder to come by as a result.
The iPhone 12 remains a great phone even a year after launch. It packs a fast A14 Bionic processor, 5G connectivity, and a 12MP wide lens with a f/1.6 aperture and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a f/2.4 aperture and 120-degree field of view. It includes Apple's 7-element lens, which delivers good low-light performance. Apple also gave it a new Night Mode Time-lapse feature.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 mini offers a similar experience, but in a more compact form. It sports a 5.4-inch OLED display, but the same wide/ultrawide cameras and A14 Bionic CPU found inside the standard iPhone 12.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the successors to the iPhone 11 Pro models. They feature larger screens — 6.1 inches for the Pro and 6.7 inches for the Pro Max — plus triple camera arrays aided by a LiDAR sensor. Otherwise, they share the same processor, 5G connectivity and charging features as the iPhone 12.
FAQ
When do iPhone 12 Black Friday deals begin in 2021?
Black Friday itself isn't until November 26th, but as is often the case, some retailers are offering early deals or have launched their official Black Friday offers already. While you may find some deals don't appear until the big day itself, now's still a good time to hunt for offers.
Should I wait until Black Friday to buy an iPhone 12?
That depends on which model you're looking at. There are more iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini models around since Apple is still actively selling these. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, having been discontinued, are trickier to find in stock. So we'd go for the Pro models now but prices could come down for the regular iPhone 12 and mini.
Who has the best iPhone 12 Black Friday deals?
If you're after a contract with your iPhone, and don't mind starting a fresh plan, then going to the carriers is the best option. A few offer deals for existing customers, but basically you're going to need some combination of a trade-in phone and an unlimited plan to get the best from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and others.
The only place you're going to find unlocked phones at a decent discount is if you buy refurbished models, such as those offered by Amazon and Walmart. These are second hand devices, but they're usually unlocked for use with any cell provider and have also been repaired and polished up before sale, meaning you may even forget the device has had a previous owner.
