Top trending iPhone Black Friday deals
- Apple iPhone 14, £649 (was £699) - buy from Amazon
The Apple iPhone 14 has only recently been replaced as the flagship device for Apple with the release of the 15, so we knew there were bound to be some fantastic discounts come Black Friday.
A 7% discount and a saving of £50 may not seem like an awful lot, but since the device has only recently lost its place as the current flagship device, it's an all-time low for the iPhone 14.
It's the lowest it'll be for Black Friday, so picking up the device now is a strong option.
Since everyone is fairly familiar with the tech giants' device, we won't bore you with the specs here, but Tech Editor Sean Keach was extremely positive in his iPhone 14 review after getting to test the smartphone personally.
iPhone 13
- Apple iPhone 13, £549 (was £599) - buy from Amazon
Another extremely popular Apple device has had its price slashed in a wave of Black Friday sales by 8% over on Amazon, and if you've been looking to pick up a new handset, £50 less isn't too bad a deal.
The iPhone 13 maybe a couple of generations old at this point, but by no means should you begin to think that all of the tech Apple has packed it with is now simply out of data.
When it comes to the 13, you're getting a 6.1-inch super retina XDR display, so whenever you watch your favourite shows, scroll social media or simply admire old memories, you can be sure it's in some of the highest quality out there.
The device also allows you to record festivals or amazing adventures in the highest possible quality, 4K. You'll also be getting around 19 hours of video playback with each full charge.
iPhone 15
- iPhone 15: from £31 per month - buy from Sky
The latest iPhone device from Apple was released a couple of months ago, in September, so we don't expect to see many if any, major reductions in price for the newest device.

However, we stumbled across Sky, offering an amazing mobile plan for the extremely converted phone.
For absolutely nothing upfront and just £25 a month, you can get just the device and 100MB of data.
Let's be honest, 100MB isn't quite enough for any phone user to get the most out of a brand-spanking new handset, so you'll definitely want to grab at least 4GB at an extra £6 a month for the bare necessities bringing the total up to just £31p/m.
If you believe you'll be out and about fairly frequently, you might want to have a little browse through the other data packages on offer as it goes all the way up to 100GB a month should you be a bit of a nomad.
Since the device is fairly new, you might not be too familiar with the ins and outs of the device, so head over to Tech Editor Sean Keach's iPhone 15 review.
When is Black Friday 2023?
This year, Black Friday is taking place on November 24 - as is always the way, that's the day after US Thanksgiving.
Black Friday, after all, was always an American sales day until it picked up in popularity in the UK around a decade ago.
And whether you love it or hate it, it's now an integral part of the pre-Christmas madness.
One thing we always remind readers is that Black Friday is far, far more than just a day-long sale.
These days you'll find deals online throughout the entirety of November.
That said, it's generally not until the week of Black Friday itself that the very best offers and price drops appear online.
Is Apple taking part in Black Friday this year and what iPhone deals to expect?
Not officially - Apple doesn't usually participate in Black Friday.
Previously savings have been for existing Apple users looking to trade in for upgrades.
But fear not, as numerous retailers that stock Apple products will definitely have loads of iPhone offers during the big sales day.
Black Friday is a time that we always see a wave of impressive new contracts on lots of iPhones (old and new), and some discounts on the SIM-free handsets too.
Otherwise, head for the likes of Carphone Warehouse, O2, Vodafone and more.
- Carphone Warehouse iPhone deals - shop here
- Affordable Mobiles iPhone deals - shop here
- O2 iPhone deals - shop here
They will all be competing to bring you the best deal, so make sure you shop around and consider all your options.
Think about your monthly budget, allowances and what add-ons are on offer when considering a phone deal on your preferred handset.
If you don't mind not having a brand-new phone, you can also look out for refurbished handset deals from retailers like Amazon and eBay.
We'll bring you all the latest here, so keep checking back!
Will there be Black Friday deals on the iPhone 14?
Yes, the iPhone 14 will almost certainly appear in sales this year - especially since the release of the latest iPhone 15 models.
It's a great time to pick up a still terrific handset for less.
You can read our iPhone 14 review and our Tech Editor's verdict of the iPhone 14's best features if you're considering buying one in the sales.
When will Black Friday iPhone deals start?
The Black Friday sale officially kicks off on November 24.
Keep an eye on this page to get all the best deals as soon as they go live!
However, it is likely that some retailers and brands will kick off their sales earlier than the official date.
Indeed, in the last few years, we've seen retailers kick off early-bird sales from the end of October, case in point, in 2022, Carphone Warehouse offered a wave of 'Why Wait?' deals ahead of Black Friday for eager shoppers.
The Black Friday sale usually goes right through to Cyber Monday on November 27.
If you're looking for a bargain, make sure you get your order in by then so you don't miss out.
Who has the best Black Friday deals on iPhones?
Phone deals are always subjective - some people prioritise low monthly costs; others want to pay as little upfront as possible.

When is Cyber Monday and is Apple taking part?
Cyber Monday falls on November 27.
Apple itself rarely takes part in the sale itself, but don't despair, as you'll still find plenty of exceptional iPhone deals from UK network providers like Fonehouse, Affordable Mobiles, Mobiles.co.uk, Carphone Warehouse and more.
We suggest you keep an eye on this page for great deals on a number of older iPhone models from early November onwards.
Will there be deals on the iPhone 15 this Black Friday?
It's worth noting that the iPhone 15 is an extremely new device and is the current flagship of Apple.
Apple doesn't tend to partake in Black Friday sales, so don't expect to find it at a lower cost from them. Other retailers that do partake are going to focus on price reductions on the older models like the iPhone 14 and 13.
Ultimately since the 15 is a very recent release, we don't expect retailers to drop the price as a part of Black Friday, so don't hold your breath, and if you're looking to purchase it, if you see a good deal you're interested in its worth picking it up rather than waiting.
How to get the best deals on an iPhone this Black Friday?
The great thing about Black Friday is that nearly every retailer takes part - and they're all competing for your custom.
Make sure you shop around rather than settling for the first deal you see.
But you also need to work quickly since Black Friday is such a popular sales day.
Start browsing as early as possible, sign up for newsletter updates with retailers and brands to be the first to hear about any discounts and special offers.
Bookmark relevant retailer pages ahead of time, so in the morning you can so you get ahead of the competition.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a new iPhone?
Absolutely! You'll find big, big savings across a range of iPhone models on Black Friday.
That means you can invest in a fantastic iPhone that has all the minutes, texts and data you need, plus a fast processor and great camera without breaking the bank.
We have a comprehensive breakdown of the best Black Friday iPhone 13 deals as well as the best Black Friday iPhone 12 deals if you are after an older model.
Since Apple products go on sale via retailers and mobile networks during the period, making sure you are in the loop with what discounts they are launching is also key.
Sign up for deal alerts and newsletters, and regularly check websites.
Apple doesn’t usually launch a ‘Black Friday’ sale itself, although it tends to unveil an exclusive Apple event which can mean discounts.
