Amazon Prime Day has kicked off earlier than ever this year. Amazon must know we're all looking for a good deal in an economy with ever-rising prices. If you're on team iPhone, those price increases aren't expected to chill out anytime soon. Tim Cook just announced iPhone price hikes are "unavoidable," citing a chip problem that doesn't seem to have a solution.
Our recommendation is to shop for deals as soon as possible if you need an iPhone upgrade. Amazon doesn't currently have any new iPhone deals, but we're seeing some great options elsewhere, including Best Buy and T-Mobile.
Here's where to snag the best iPhone deals before the price increase. If you're shopping for other Apple devices like AirPods or a MacBook, check out the best Apple deals this Prime Day.
Best iPhone 17 deal

Why we like it
It doesn't get better than free. With no trade-in required, T-Mobile has an excellent deal if you're eyeing the new iPhone 17 Pro. It's free! Of course, there's a slight catch, but it's not terrible. All you need to do is sign on to a T-Mobile Experience More or Experience Beyond plan for 24 months. Over these consecutive months, T-Mobile applies a promo credit to bring the price of the phone to zero. Plus, the Cosmic Orange colorway makes a statement.
Best iPhone Air deal

Read Mashable's full review of the iPhone Air.
For those who want slim but durable, the new iPhone Air is ideal. It's Apple's thinnest-ever iPhone at 5.6mm while having an ultralight titanium frame. Battery life measures about 27 hours and it's compatible with eSIMs if you'll be traveling soon.
Shop Best Buy this Prime Day to snag the 256GB iPhone Air while it's on sale for $839.99.
Best budget iPhone deal
$599.99 Save $110
Why we like it
Your old iPhone no longer holds a charge but you're not looking to spend much to get a new model. If that's the case, consider the Prime Day sale on the iPhone 16e for $489.99. You'll be getting 128GB storage, a 6.1-inch display, and the A18 chip. While this isn't the newest model, it's only one generation behind.
Best Renewed iPhone 17 Pro deal
$1,249 Save $249.01
Why we like it
If you’re okay skipping the brand-new box experience, this is one of the easiest ways to save on a higher-storage iPhone 17 Pro. The 512GB Renewed Premium iPhone 17 Pro is down to $999.99 on Amazon, cutting $249 off the usual price and bringing a top-tier storage option below the $1,000 mark.
Because it’s listed as Renewed Premium, it also comes with stricter quality checks than standard refurbished models, so it’s closer to a “like-new” experience while still costing significantly less.
