As an Apple customer, I'm always on the prowl for Apple device deals. However, I also subscribe to a few Apple services and Verizon's latest iPhone deal is equal parts device deal and subscription deal.

Right now, you can get the iPhone 17 Pro for free at Verizon with trade-in and an eligible unlimited data plan. Even better, you'll get a free iPad A16 and 6 months of Apple One for free. That's one of the best Verizon phone deals and iPhone 17 deals I've seen.

iPhone 17 Pro: free w/ trade-in + unlimited @ Verizon
Verizon is offering the iPhone 17 Pro on the house. Simply open a new line with an eligible unlimited data plan and you'll get your iPhone 17 Pro for free. Plus, you'll get a free iPad A16 and six months of Apple One. (Apple One is a subscription service that bundles iCloud+, Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. After your six months are over, you can cancel or pay a discounted price of $15/mo). The iPhone 17 Pro features a 6.3-inch OLED 120Hz display (2622 x 1206), A19 Pro chipset, and 256GB of storage. You also get a 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP w/ 4x zoom telephoto lens. The front camera is 18MP. In our iPhone 17 Pro review, we said its its upgraded 48MP telephoto camera, 18MP Center Stage front camera, and vapor cooling chambers are significant changes to reaffirm its status as Apple's premium phone.

Yes, Verizon has been offering the iPhone 17 Pro for free since pre-orders started. However, what makes this deal so great is that you get a free iPad A16 and six months of Apple One for free. Apple services are rarely discounted and when they are it's usually for a short period. This Verizon deal gets you six months of Apple One for free. After your six months are over, you can cancel or continue it at a discounted price of $15/mo.

If you're not familiar with Apple One, it's Apple's premier subscription service that bundles iCloud+, Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. Apple sells it directly for $19.95/month.

As for the phone, the iPhone 17 Pro is one of the best phones out there. In our iPhone 17 Pro review, we said its undergone the biggest changes in years, starting with a powerful new processor, longer battery life, and a vapor chamber cooling system.

In terms of hardware, the new phone features a 6.3-inch OLED 120Hz display (2622 x 1206), A19 Pro chipset, and 256GB of storage. Yes, it's $100 pricier than the iPhone 16 Pro, but the new base model comes with 256GB of storage, whereas its predecessor came with just 128GB of storage. The new iPhone 17 Pro also includes a 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP w/ 4x zoom telephoto lens. Up front you'll find an 18MP camera.

The iPhone 17 Pro is easily one of the best phones of 2025 and this deal nets you the phone, an iPad, and a handful of Apple's best subscription services.
