Eyeing up that shiny new iPhone 14? Here’s a tip - if you’re looking for a Verizon device specifically then it’s definitely not the best value option right now. Our pick? It’s got to be the iPhone 13 mini, which is currentlyfree with an unlimited line.
Perhaps we’re comparing apples to oranges here, but hear us out. Compared to the iPhone 14’s current deal ofup to $800 off with a trade-in and unlimited plan, the iPhone 13 mini promotion really stands out as a more flexible option. Especially if you’re currently running an older device that won’t fetch much in a trade.
Sure, theiPhone 13 miniis a smaller device, but it’s one that’s essentially identical to theiPhone 14in many ways. The chip is the same, the design is the same and the screen is the same. It’s basically the same device, give or take a few camera tweaks here and there. In short, it’s a device that still holds up with the best of them in 2022.
If you do prefer a bigger device, then it’s also worth checking out the standard iPhone 13, which is currentlygoing for $5 per month with an unlimited data planat Verizon. Again, no trade-ins are needed here so it’s a really flexible option if you’re on an older device currently. We wouldn’t rank it above the iPhone 13 mini when it comes to outright value at the carrier, but getting such a powerful flagship device for just $180 (over a 36-month duration) is definitely a steal. As always, however, factor in the pricey unlimited data plans if you’re interested in any of theseVerizon deals.
