Apple’s first foldable iPhone is finally here, and Verizon is rolling out several offers to make the upgrade a little easier on your wallet. Customers switching to Verizon can preorder the new foldable with an Apple Watch Series 12 or iPad at no extra cost, while another offer bundles the phone and mobile service for $72 a month.
The carrier is also simplifying things by dropping activation and upgrade fees for customers enrolled in Verizon Loyalty. And unlike some carrier promotions, you don’t necessarily need to trade in your current phone to qualify. The brand is offering multiple deals, depending on whether you’re switching carriers, upgrading your phone, or shopping for a business.
Get an iPhone Duo With an Apple Watch or iPad on Verizon
One of Verizon’s biggest launch offers targets customers switching from another carrier. Buy the new iPhone Duo (256GB) on an eligible plan and get an Apple Watch Series 12 or an iPad for free.
The offer doesn’t require you to trade in your old phone, which is good news if you’d rather keep it as a backup or pass it down to someone else. Plus, you get three months of Apple One at no extra cost, giving you access to Apple’s bundle of services.
To get the Apple Watch or iPad, you’ll need to add it to a qualifying line with a 36-month, interest-free payment plan. Customers enrolled in the carrier’s loyalty program can also avoid activation and upgrade fees, saving up to $40 per device. Better yet, you can combine this offer with Verizon’s Simplicity and myPlan promotions, giving switchers more ways to save.
Get the iPhone Duo and Mobile Service for $72 a Month
For anyone who prefers knowing exactly what they’ll pay each month, Verizon has another offer worth checking out. New customers switching to the carrier can get the iPhone Duo (256GB) and mobile service for a combined $72 per month.
The price breaks down to $42 monthly for the phone and $30 for Verizon’s Simplicity plan with Auto Pay. The device is financed over 48 months at 0% APR, so there’s no interest added to the phone payments.
The Simplicity plan also comes with Verizon Loyalty benefits. You’ll earn 3% back each month in Verizon Dollars and get access to Verizon Shine, which offers daily rewards and weekly experiences.
This could be an appealing option for anyone who wants to try Apple’s first foldable without paying the full retail price upfront. Just keep in mind that the $72 monthly price depends on the eligible plan, Auto Pay, and the full 48-month device payment term.
Trade In Your Old Phone and Save Up to $1,000
Verizon also has an offer for customers willing to part with their current phone. Through its myPlan promotion, you can save up to $1,000 on a new iPhone when you trade in an eligible device and add a new line. Qualifying trade-ins include select phones from Apple, Samsung, Google, and Motorola, so the offer isn’t limited to existing iPhone owners.
The savings are spread across 36 months as promotional bill credits on an interest-free device payment plan. That means you won’t receive the entire discount upfront, but your monthly device cost can be significantly lower depending on the phone you trade in and the plan you choose.
Verizon Business Customers Can Save Up to $1,200
Verizon isn’t leaving business customers out of the iPhone Duo launch. New and existing Business Markets and Enterprise customers can save up to $1,200 on Apple’s new foldable.
To qualify, you must trade in an eligible device, add a new line with a 36-month device payment plan, and sign up for a My Biz Plan with at least $20 in monthly add-on spending.
There are also offers for businesses that prefer Apple’s more traditional iPhone models. Eligible customers can get an iPhone 18 Pro (256GB) covered by promotional credits or save up to $1,200 on an iPhone 18 Pro Max with a qualifying trade-in.
Businesses bringing an existing number to Verizon can also receive an additional $360 credit, making the switch potentially more rewarding.
The iPhone Duo is available to pre-order through Verizon’s website, with full retail availability beginning Friday, October 23. Verizon lists the phone at a regular retail price of $1,999.99, so these promotions could make a big difference for anyone planning to upgrade to Apple’s first foldable.
