Cyber Monday phone deals 2024

Cyber Monday is more than halfway over, but there's still opportunity to save money on a brand new smartphone — or phone plan. If you're looking for a great phone at an even better place, now's probably your last chance to pick something up before the end of the year.

I should know. I've been reviewing phones for the past 16 years, so you can trust me when I say I know how to spot a good Cyber Monday deal. Given all the discounts we've seen on some of the best phones we've tested and reviewed this year, now is the best time to swap that dusty old handset for something a little zippier.

Our favorite deals at the moment include an offer from Boost Mobile letting you buy the iPhone 16 for just $0.01 at Amazon. Meanwhile the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is $949 at Best Buy (a deal matched by Amazon) and the Pixel 9 Pro can be picked up for $799.

At Apple, you won't find any discounted prices on the iPhone 16. But the iPhone maker's Apple Store Shopping Event will give you up to $75 gift card credit if you buy an iPhone 15, iPhone 14 or iPhone SE before the end of Cyber Monday — aka December 2.

But there's more than just handsets on sale for Cyber Monday. There are plenty of deals on phone plans and accessories, like a year's worth of unlimited data service for $240 through Ultra Mobile. Or alternatively you can pick up a MagSafe-compatible PopSocket grip for just $15 — a 50% discount. There are also deals on cheap cell phone plans, like Mint's offer for $10/month.

If anything, though, Cyber Monday is a lesson in why you should never buy a phone at full price. No matter what device you choose, it's guaranteed to go down in price at some point, and I'm going to be going through all the retailer and wireless carriers to uncover the best deals you may not have known about. Those of you looking for the best foldable phones are in luck too. Those phones are usually prohibitively expensive, but we've already seen great deal that make the price tag a little more palatable.

So whatever phone you're looking for, make sure to keep your web browser pointed here. Because me and my colleagues will be hunting down and sharing the best Cyber Monday phone deals throughout the day.
