Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 series is officially here, unveiled at Tuesday’s launch event alongside the slimmer iPhone Air, the advanced iPhone 17 Pro, and the powerhouse iPhone 17 Pro Max. The showcase also introduced the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the updated AirPods Pro 3, making it one of Apple’s biggest hardware reveals in recent years.
While the new iPhones bring brighter displays, smarter cameras, and Apple Intelligence, they also carry a hefty price tag. Fortunately, carriers and retailers are rolling out aggressive preorder promotions that could slash as much as $1,100 off the cost—effectively making an iPhone 17 free for eligible buyers.

Deals vary depending on the provider, but many offers include generous trade-in credits for older devices, installment bill credits, or bundled discounts with wireless plans. Shoppers can also pair their preorder with accessories like the Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3, Ultra 3, or AirPods Pro 3, which are also expected to see early discounts.
Preorders for the iPhone 17 lineup open this week, with major carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, as well as Apple’s own online store, offering incentives to lock in early buyers. As additional retailers publish their preorder promotions, more savings opportunities are expected to surface.
For those hoping to upgrade, now is the time to act. With up to $1,100 in potential savings, many customers could walk away with Apple’s latest flagship phone at little to no cost on launch day.
