Apple iPhone 15 Pro
The iPhone 15 Pro is an absolutely glorious smartphone packed with every feature you could ever want and all that lovely titanium. If you don’t want the large screen of the Max but want the Pro specs, this phone is a good choice. With Best Buy (through AT&T or Verizon) offering the phone for as little as $0 with a trade, this is the time to get one.
We’re deep into what has become an entire week of Black Friday. While deals on various products are available, including plenty of discounted smartphones like the Pixel 7a, we found a deal that gets you an iPhone 15 Pro for as little as $0. All you need is your current phone as a trade-in, and you can get an iPhone 15 Pro without spending a penny on Verizon or AT&T. Some of these promotions apply to new and existing customers looking to upgrade. In contrast, others are exclusive to new customers.
Of course, not all phones will qualify for the massive $1000 trade-in required to cover the cost of an iPhone 15 Pro, but if you have a relatively recent, high-end smartphone to offer, you can get the majority of your new phone covered.
Here’s how the Best Buy deal shakes out depending on which phone you have to trade and which carrier you end up going with:
AT&T
With AT&T, everyone can save up to $1,000 through bill credits, getting them an iPhone 15 Pro for free. However, new customers switching from any carrier can get $150 additional bill credits, while those switching from T-Mobile can get an extra $250.

More models are listed as eligible for trade-in for new customers on Verizon with less value outlined on Best Buy’s website, but the ones listed above cover most of the popular new models.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to get an iPhone 15 Pro for free for existing Verizon customers, as the maximum trade offered is $830 for several current and slightly older smartphone models. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S10 are eligible for this amount, so it’s a great deal if you have an older phone and want to maximize your trade-in, as it’ll cover a large portion of the iPhone 15 Pro.
