The iPhone is the most popular smartphone there is and it makes sense that every carrier and retailer would sell it. But that creates a problem of having too many options to choose from. In reality, however, most users will likely look to their carrier of choice for their next iPhone, especially if the two-year contract they signed when buying the last one is about to expire. So, let’s first take a look at what the big three have to offer.
Best Verizon iPhone 12 Pro deals
Buy one iPhone 12 Pro, get one free
The best deal Verizon has for the iPhone 12 Pro right now is to give you one for free or save you $1,000 on another iPhone. Of course, things aren’t that simple. You have to sign a contract (for either 24 of 30 months) for the first iPhone 12 Pro and open a new line for the second device with an Unlimited plan as well. After that, $33.33 or $41.66 (depending on the contract length) will be credited to your account each month over the length of the contract, totalling $1000 (or $999.99 to be exact).
Similar offers are available that will save you instead $800 or $400, depending on the plans and the devices you choose.
Get up to $750 off of iPhone 12 Pro with a new line and trade-in
If buying two iPhones is not within your current plans, you can still save more than half of the iPhone 12 Pro’s price by opening a new line with Verizon and trading in an old smartphone. Of course, the trade-in amount depends on the device you’ll be giving up.

Best T-Mobile iPhone 12 Pro deals
Save $830 when you trade in a qualifying iPhone
The best savings on a new iPhone 12 Pro you can get from T-Mobile right now is by trading in an older iPhone. It shouldn’t be a steep requirement for most people looking to buy the 12 Pro as they’re likely rocking an iPhone already anyway.
But even if you don’t have one of those two phones, T-Mobile’s trade-in offers are higher than usual for other models as well, here’s the breakdown:
- To save $830: iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone XR
- To save $600: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
- To save $450: iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus
Best AT&T iPhone 12 Pro deals
Get up to $700 off with eligible trade in
AT&T’s best deal for a new iPhone 12 Pro also includes trading in your old phone. The carrier will pay you up to $700 depending on your device. To qualify for the discount, the phone you’re trading in should be one of the following and be valued above $95 after you answer the questions for its condition.
- Apple: iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max
- Samsung: A71, A71 5G, Fold, Z Fold2 5G, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, Galaxy S9+ Duos, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10 5G, Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, Galaxy S20+ 5G, Note9, Note10, Note10+, Note10+ 5G, Note20 5G, Note20 Ultra 5G, Z Flip 5G
- Google: Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL
- LG: V50 ThinQ, V60 ThinQ 5G
- OTHER: Asus Rog Phone2, moto razr, OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren, OnePlus 8 5G, OnePlus 8 Pro
As you can see, there are some phones that are worth a lot less than $800, like the Galaxy S9, for example, so you can take advantage of this offer quite easily.
It’s worth noting, that upgrading your current line or opening a new line and activating an unlimited data plan is also a requirement for the deal.
