Verizon is practically giving away the iPhone 18 Pro — here's how to get it
Plus, get a free iPad A16 and Apple Watch 12
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max received $100 price increases this past month. Now starting at $1,199 and $1,299, respectively, they're still great phones, but a harder pill to swallow at these price points.
Fortunately, you don't have to pay those price. Right now, Verizon has the iPhone 18 Pro for free with a new line and unlimited Ultimate plan. Or you can get up to $1,200 off the iPhone 18 Pro Max with the same requirements. In both cases, you can also get a free iPad A16 and Apple Watch 12 when you open a new data plan for each device. Those are among the best iPhone 18 Pro deals I've seen. Here's how it all breaks down.

iPhone 18 Pro Max: up to $1,200 off w/ new line + trade-in @ Verizon
Verizon will take up to $1,200 off your iPhone 18 Pro Max when you open a new line and open an eligible unlimited data plan. In our iPhone 18 Pro Max review, we said the A20 chip raises the bar for performance in a smartphone. It features a 6.9-inch OLED 120Hz display (2868 x 1320), A20 Pro chipset, and 256GB of storage. You also get a 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto lens w/ 4x zoom. The front camera is 18MP.
iPhone 18 Pro vs. iPhone 18 Pro Max
Apple's new flagships feature rigid enclosures, proven water resistance, and toughened glass surfaces that have repeatedly demonstrated they can take real-world abuse. Both phones offer rock solid reliability, so which phone you get depends on how big of a screen you want and how much battery life you require.
For example, the iPhone 18 Pro packs a 6.3-inch OLED display, whereas the iPhone 18 Pro Max sports a larger 6.9-inch OLED screen. Likewise, the iPhone 18 Pro Max lasts for up to 45 hours on a single charge, whereas the iPhone 18 Pro maxes out at 36 hours. Otherwise, both phones pack the same A20 Pro chipset and cameras.
While it's true that the holidays are on the horizon, in terms of deals this is likely as good as it'll get. We may see a trade-in deal in the coming weeks, but otherwise you likely won't find better deals in November.
