- iPhone Air 256GB: £200 off at Amazon U.K.
In September 2025 Apple launched the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and the iPhone Air. Then, in March 2026, the iPhone 17e joined the line up. If you’re scouting out ways to buy any of those iPhone models, we have your back. Whether it’s directly from Apple, from your go-to retailer, or your carrier, there are loads of options to get yourself a new phone.
You don’t have to buy the iPhone 17, 17e, 17 Pro, or Pro Max, or the iPhone Air, directly from Apple, all the major carriers will offer you one on contract. One of the benefits of not buying from Apple is that you can take advantage of special promotions and deals offered by popular retailers and carriers. And, if you are shopping from the U.K., resellers, including Amazon, will sell you an unlocked iPhone at a good discount.

Best iPhone 17 deals in the U.S. – How to get the best iPhone prices in the U.S.
If you are based in the U.S., the best deals for a new iPhone tend to be from the big U.S. carriers, such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.
In the U.S. an unlocked iPhone 17 has a starting price of $829 at Apple, but you can get up to $700 off with a trade-in (though most people will get around $400). You will also get an extra $30 discount if you activate the phone with one of the available carriers — AT&T, Boost Mobile, T-Mobile, or Verizon. All in all, you’ll save hundreds on the price as long as you have a new-ish phone to trade in.
One of the easiest ways to get the new iPhone is directly from your carrier.
- AT&T: You can get up to $830 off the iPhone 17 when you trade in an eligible iPhone. The savings transform into monthly credits on your bill for the next 36 months.
- T-Mobile: The carrier offers iPhone 17 models for free when you switch to T-Mobile and add a line on the Experience plans. The money transforms into bill credits spread over the next 24 months. T-Mobile is offering $1,100 off an iPhone Air or 17 Pro Max.
- Verizon: Save up to $1,099 with a trade-in and a new line. This offer is only available online.
- U.S. Cellular: You can get $999 off an iPhone Air at U.S. Cellular.
- Xfinity Mobile: If you trade in a qualifying phone you can get up to $830 off a new iPhone 17 series model.
- Boost Mobile: You can get $850 off the price of the iPhone 17 with Boost’s $65 per month plan.
You can also get your phone from one of the big retailers, though they might not have all of the same color and capacity options as the Apple Store:

It’s a different story in the U.K. where there are fewer limitations on the sale of iPhones, so you will be able to pick one up unlocked at a discount if you would prefer to buy an iPhone up front, rather than on a contract.
The deals tend to be on the older iPhones: we’re seeing the iPhone 16e for £499 at Amazon, for example.
You can pick up an unlocked iPhone Air from Amazon for £200 off:

Best prices for iPhone Air
The iPhone Air, while technically not part of the iPhone 17 family, is Apple’s thinnest phone ever. With a 6.5-inch display and just 5.6mm thick, this iPhone Air is a technical marvel, with an A19 Pro processor, 18MP Center Stage selfie camera, and 48MP Fusion camera that can capture 4K video at 60fps. There are some sacrifices, such as less battery life and a single camera, but if you want the latest “wow” phone, this is the one to get
Prices for the iPhone Air start at $999 for the 256GB version, and it goes as high as $1,399 for the 1TB model. Apple offers up to $700 off with a trade-in, and you can activate your phone straight away with AT&T, Boost Mobile, T-Mobile, or Verizon, although there’s no activation discount at all. There’s no extra discount if you activate your phone with one of the available carriers (AT&T, Boost Mobile, T-Mobile, or Verizon) straight away, so it doesn’t matter if you choose to connect to one at a later time. All this could bring the price of the iPhone Air down to $299.
