iPhone 14 Deals: Nab Savings With Trade-Ins and Installment Plans [CNET]

View Article on CNET

Although the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro have taken a back seat to the newer iPhone 15 series, they still offer great value for the price. Apple has discontinued sales of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, but you can still find them at some retailers offering deals or massive trade-in discounts on the older models. Most commonly, though, we’ve found the best iPhone 14 deals on the standard handset. They’re out of stock at most retailers, but we’ve noted where they are available in our roundup of best iPhone 14 deals below. 

In addition to some retailer deals, Apple has decreased the price of the standard iPhone 14 and 14 Plus by roughly $100.

The Pro models offer some nice upgrades, including an advanced A16 Bionic chip and an updated display that ditches the infamous notch in favor of an adaptive pill-shaped display cutout that Apple calls the Dynamic Island. On the non-Pro side, the devices keep the same A15 Bionic chip from last year, though there are some under-the-hood improvements. But, as we’ve noted, they’re not as easy to find and when you do find them the deals are not exactly abundant.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are still available to buy directly from Apple, with delivery and in-store pickup options. You can trade in your old device for up to $620 off your new one and use an Apple Card to get 3% back on your purchase. AT&T will offer you up to $334 in bill credits, and you can score up to $730 if you connect your iPhone 14 with T-Mobile and trade in an iPhone 12. 

Apple has discontinued the sale of the 14 Pro and Pro Max on its site. 

You can get the basic iPhone 14 or the 14 Plus for free with any 5G unlimited plan, but you’ll need to have a new line and Select Unlimited Plan to qualify. 

Though the carrier is still listing the Pro and the Pro Max, there is currently no stock of Pro Max available. 

AT&T is offering some solid savings on the iPhone 14 series right now. When you purchase an iPhone 14 on an installment plan, you’ll pay $11 per month as long as you have or switch to a qualifying service plan. This brings your total to $396 over 36 months. Since AT&T lists this phone at $730 (higher than Apple’s new base price of $699) which means you save $334. Keep in mind this doesn’t include your monthly service fee. 

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are still listed on the site but are currently out of stock. 

T-Mobile has quite a few different offers on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. People on a Go5G Next plan can get up to $1,000 off when trading in an eligible device. You can get up to $830 with trade-in on the Go5G Plus plan. When you add a line on a qualifying plan and trade-in an eligible device, you can save up to $730. 

New customers ready to switch can save up to $630 if they bring their number over from a qualifying carrier. 

If you opt for a different plan other than the Go5G Next or Go5G Plus, you can still qualify for up to $300 off, with a minimum trade-in of $100, depending on the model of your phone. Buy one, get one up to $700 off when you add a line when you activate two (or more) qualifying lines or add a line for existing customers. 

T-Mobile still lists the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, but they’re currently out of stock.
