Best iPhone deals to expect on Prime Day 2022

Naturally, one of the most sought after goods on Amazon Prime Day are iPhones, and due to the fact that many major stores are also running their parallel shopping events alongside Amazon Prime Day, you’re more likely than not to get a new iPhone.

Amazon Prime Day iPhone deals

We wouldn’t expect brand-new iPhone 13, 13 Pro, or 13 Pro Max units with massive price reductions, as the latest and greatest Apple wares rarely get discounted at such shopping events. But, on discount events, a lot of refurbished units sell for pretty hefty discounts. Back in 2021, we were able to buy Grade A refurbished iPhone 12 units for around $500. So, if you don’t mind pre-owned, you might be able to score a nicely refurbished iPhone 12 on the cheap, come Prime Day. And, who knows, maybe you will be able to score a refurbished iPhone 12 or 11 Pro at an insanely low price.

Getting one of the newer iPhones and even the brand new SE (2022) model at around the $400 – $500 mark is a pretty good purchase. These little things last long thanks to their powerful hardware and Apple’s commitment to software updates (up to 5 years!). So, an iPhone 13 bought today should last you up to 2026 with no trouble, if history is anything to go by.

But, if refurbished is not your thing, you may have better luck looking at the other stores’ shopping events.

One lineup that could get discounted a lot due to the fact that it’s no longer the newest one is the iPhone 12-series, which holds up exceptionally well in comparison with the iPhone 13 family and offers excellent value.

Walmart Prime Day iPhone deals

Walmart does not shy away from discounting brand-new iPhones, but there’s a caveat — they are usually locked to Straight Talk. Last year, you were able to get $240 off an iPhone 11 Pro Max and a whopping $350 off the iPhone XR, if you were willing OK with using them on Straight Talk.

Best Buy Prime Day iPhone deals

Historically, Best Buy stands up to Amazon not with major discounts, but some cool bundle deals. Which can also end up being a bargain for you in the long run — could we see iPhone 13 and Apple Watch bundles? Or iPhone 13 and AirPods? Our best guess is as good as yours. Getting 6 months of Apple Music for free ($60 worth) is also not out of the question.

Target Prime Day iPhone deals

Last year, Target’s massive savings event was called Deal Days and it ran for 48 hours around the same time as Amazon Prime Day. Target was offering both the iPhone XR and iPhone SE for $150 less than usual with Consumer Cellular. In recent years, we haven’t seen discounts on these Deals Days for the latest iPhones. This may or may not change in 2021, but we would not hold our breath for any major iPhone 13 discounts.
