Apple’s new iPhone family has something for everyone, whether it’s the small-yet-equally-mighty iPhone 12 mini with a 5.4-inch screen, the two 6.1-inch iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models, or the monstrous iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is more than just a bigger iPhone 12 Pro and is the biggest iPhone ever released.
Clearly, the global situation this year has resulted in delays for certain components. As a result, the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro both go up for preorder on October 16 and ship on October 23. Preorders for the smaller Mini and larger Max variants are delayed to November 6, with shipping starting November 13.
With that in mind, if you want to buy the 12 or 12 Pro, we’ve rounded up the best iPhone 12 deals below. If you’re interested in the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Mini, we’ve also included the options below, but you’ll need to wait a couple of weeks to pre-order.
If you head over to Best Buy right now, you can save up to $1,000 on your new iPhone 12. It all depends on the carrier you choose. First, Sprint, now part of T-Mobile, lets you save from $100 to $500 with qualified activation and an eligible device’s trade-in. We then focus on AT&T, where you can save up to $800 on your new device with the same conditions as Sprint, which means you have to activate a new line on one of AT&T’s qualified plans, and you also have to trade-in an eligible device.
Now, if you want to get your new iPhone 12 on Verizon’s network, there are two options to choose from, as you can save from $100 to $500 with qualified activation and trade-in on an iPhone 7 or newer. However, you may also want to consider the possibility of saving up to $1,000 thanks to a BoGo deal. To get this deal, you need a qualified activation on Unlimited plans for Verizon, and at least one new line is required. Savings will appear as a monthly bill credit, but it won’t be discounted through Best Buy at the time of purchase.
Still, if you don’t want to save on your new iPhone 12, you can also get your device on Verizon starting at $33.33/mo. For 24 months. Sprint will have you paying $34.58/mo. For two years, but if you want to pay less, you can go for AT&T’s option that will have you paying $26.67/mo. But this also means you will have to pay for 30 months.
If you head over to Apple’s online store, you will see that the iPhone 12 is selling for $799, if you buy it upfront, or you can get it with an installment plan that will have you paying $33.29 a month. However, you can also choose to trade-in an eligible device, and this will get you up to $500 depending on the device you have to offer. Unfortunately, if you want your phone to come unlocked, you will have to pay $829 before trade-in, and your monthly payments would go up to $34.54.
If you don’t want to trade-in for an instant discount against your purchase, you can also trade-in your phone for an Apple Gift Card that can be redeemed in Apple’s stores or on Apple.com.
If you’d rather buy it from your carrier, we’ve also rounded up the best carrier deals below.
If you don’t want to take up any savings, you can get your new iPhone for as low as $29.16/mo, but there are several other options to consider, since Verizon is probably the carrier that offers more ways to save on your new iPhone 12.
Now, if you want to save some cash, you can trade-in an eligible device and get a new line to get up to $750 off. You can upgrade your current device and get up to $440 off, or buy one and get $800 off the second device, and yes, you are also going to need a new line.
More importantly, Verizon is also the network with the biggest deployment of those superfast 5G speeds that Apple mentioned. Alongside a new Nationwide 5G network launched alongside the new iPhone, Verizon has the 5G Ultra-wideband mmWave network that offers speeds of up to 4Gbps in 55 cities and growing.
Well, if you want to get your new device over at AT&T, you can get the 64GB base model for $26.67/mo. However, you can save up to $700 with an eligible trade-in, which would leave your new device for just $3.33/mo if you go for the 64GB base model. If you want more storage space, you would also end up paying more, as the 128GB version and the 256GB options would cost you $28.34 and $31.67/mo, respectively, or $5 and $8.33/mo.
T-Mobile is offering up to $830 savings on your new iPhone 12 after certain conditions have been met. First, you need to join Magenta and trade-in an eligible device, which basically will get you a new iPhone for free. You will see the trade-in credits and the balance in the 24 monthly bill credits for your new phone. Of course, you will have to trade in your iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, or iPhone X in good condition to get your iPhone 12 for free. While the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will get you up to $600 off, and previous models such as the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S, and the iPhone 6S Plus can get you $450 savings.
As we expected, the iPhone 12 box doesn’t come with a power adapter or wired headphones. There is a USB-C to Lightning cable, so at least there’s that? If you don’t know what USB-C is, or you’re coming from an older iPhone and haven’t got a newish iPad or Macbook, you’ll probably need a USB-C power adapter.
If wired earbuds are a must, then the lack of headphone jack means you’ll want something that’s Lightning compatible. Apple’s official EarPods are the ones you used to get in the box and cost $19, whilst the upgrade pick if you’re interested in something wireless would be the original AirPods for $125. Of course, if you want the best true wireless earbuds for the iPhone right now, look no further than the AirPods Pro, which is currently on sale at $199!

We may be getting closer to the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S21, as rumors suggest that we could see Samsung’s latest flagship as soon as January 14. That means that we will most likely start to receive even more leaks and rumors about the upcoming devices. The latest leaks reveal the devices in all of their color options, and we have even received confirmation that the higher-end model will also feature S Pen support. However, the latest leak could confirm that the new Galaxy S21 lineup may be less expensive than its predecessor.
Earlier this month, we received leaked information suggesting that the new Samsung Galaxy S21 series was going to reach the market with rather aggressive prices. According to those rumors, the vanilla Galaxy S21 would start from $850 – $899, which is at least $100 less than what the S20 started for. The Galaxy S21+ could arrive with a price tag that would set it between $1,050 and $1,099, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra would start around $1,250 and $1,299, which would also translate into a $100 – to $150 price drop.
Now the latest information comes from GalaxyClub, and they claim that the new Samsung Galaxy S21 series will be more affordable than its predecessor. The Samsung Galaxy S21 with 128GB would start for €879, which is less than the €999 price tag set on the Galaxy S20 when it arrived. The Samsung Galaxy S21+ is expected to arrive with a €1,079 price tag, which is also less than what was initially charged for the Galaxy S21+.
However, we could see the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with a €1,399 pricing, which’s €50 more than what was charged for last year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra. This price hike may be caused by the new features that are expected to come with the new Galaxy S21 Ultra, as rumors say that it will feature stylus support, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Galaxy Note series is going to disappear anytime soon.

Well, Apple has finally presented its new lineup with Apple Silicon during its “One more thing” event today. Cupertino presented a new 13-inch MacBook Pro, a MacBook Air, and a Mac mini, all of them powered by the new Apple M1 chip. Now, you may be interested in getting one of these new devices, so we have taken the time to make a list with every detail you need to know before making your purchase.
First of all, you must know that Apple’s new devices with the M1 chip are already available for purchase, and they will start shipping to its early adopters starting on November 17.
Now, the MacBook Air comes with Apple’s M1 chip with 8-Core COP and 7-Core GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD for $999. If you want more storage and a bit more power, the MacBook Air with an 8-Core GPU and 512GB SSD will cost you $1,249. Both laptops feature a Retina Display with True Tone, a Magic Keyboard, Touch ID, Force Touch trackpad, two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports.
You can also choose to pay your new MacBook Air in monthly installments, as the Apple Card Monthly Instalment plan will let you pay $83.25 a month for 12 months for the 256GB version or $104.08 a month during the same time for the 512GB version.
If your sights are set on the new Apple Mac mini, you can get one starting at $699, or $58.25 a month for 12 months with the Apple Card Monthly Installment plan. This will get you the latest Mac mini with the M1 Chip 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD storage, and Gigabit Ethernet. The 512GB version is available for $899, or $74.91 for 12 months.
Finally, the new MacBook Pro starts at $1,299 with the new Apple M1 chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD storage, a 13-inch Retina Display with True Tone, a Magic Keyboard, Touch Bar, and Touch ID, Force Touch trackpad, and two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports. If you feel like getting more storage, the 512GB version is available for $1499. If you want more storage and more RAM, you can always go for the Intel-powered versions, but they are more expensive, and Apple claims that they are three times slower than the versions that were just released.

Well, Apple’s latest digital-only event gave us a couple of good surprises, but it also came to confirm some of the rumors that we had heard since the first half of 2020. Yeah, they announced a new HomePod mini that’s finally priced accordingly and four new iPhone 12 models with significant differences between them. However, we will focus on several things that Cupertino has done behind the curtains, and they’re not so pretty.
First, we will focus on the iPhone 12 models’ real prices, since Apple said that the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 would start at $699 and $799, respectively, but that’s not the case. The real price of the 12 mini is $729, while the vanilla version starts at $829. The prices given by Apple include a $30 carrier discount that is only available at Verizon and on AT&T, meaning that if you get this device on T-Mobile, you would have to pay an extra $30. Yes, Apple’s press release addresses this pricing strategy, but it doesn’t matter where you look at it; in the end, it’s somewhat deceiving.
We then focus on the new iPhone’s RAM capacity, as they still lack when compared to Android devices, and it seems that things won’t change anytime soon. The less expensive variants come with 4GB RAM, while the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max come with a whopping 6GB RAM. Of course, this is a big step from the previous iPhone 11 lineup, which came equipped with 4GB across every device.
Finally, Apple announced that they would stop including power adapters and earphones with their new iPhone 12 models, but they also decided to remote the EarPods and Power adapters from the iPhone 11, XR, and SE, but wait, there’s more. The new 20W USB-C power adapter is now selling for $19, which is not that bad, considering that the previous 18W charger used to sell for $29. Now, Apple is still selling EarPods with lightning connector, but they could soon start selling for $10 less, meaning that you can get a pair for $9, so at least Apple is not forcing you to get a new pair of wireless AirPods.

We keep getting hints that the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is inching closer to its launch. The latest leak comes all the way from Slovakia, where one of the country’s mobile operators has already confirmed the price of the new “budget-friendly” version of the Galaxy S20.
It seems that the new Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition will be available for purchase starting at €699. Slovakian mobile operator Orange posted the phone’s price on its official website before the phone’s possible launch, which is expected to take place next week, on September 23, when Samsung will host the new Galaxy Unpacked For Every Fan event.
The listing was taken down after a while, but you can still follow the link in case you’re curious. The image listed on Orange’s website wasn’t even an official render, since it was an old render that was previously released by @evleaks. The listing also confirmed some of the phone’s hardware specs, which include the display, camera, and battery.
Now, if you’re not familiar with the possible specs of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, we will put you up to date. The device is expected to include a 65.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2400×1080 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate that you won’t find in the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup. You would also find Gorilla Glass 3 and two processors powering the show. The first processor would be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 for the US variant, while the international variant will include the Exynos 990 chipset.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE would also come in 5G and LTE configurations, with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage space. The phone’s triple camera setup will include a 12MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, and an 8MP telephoto, and you will find the largest sensor in the front, as it will pack a 32MP selfie camera and a 4,500mAh battery that will hopefully keep your phone going throughout the day.

We have been getting an interesting amount of leaks for the new LG Wing. The latest rumor suggests that this device won’t be as expensive as foldable smartphones, but that doesn’t mean that it will be cheap either.
The first report mentioning the new LG Wing’s possible price came from South Korean publication, Herald Corp. It claimed that the device would arrive with a $1,600 price tag, making this the most expensive LG phone ever. However, an anonymous source spoke to XDA-Developers, and now, it seems that this phone may arrive for $1,000 in the United States. The source also confirms that the recent videos leaked at Android Authority are legitimate. However, we are still waiting for rumors to suggest a possible launch date and the device’s internals.

It seems that removing the power adapters and wired Earpods in the box of the new iPhone 12 won’t help Apple keep prices low. The latest report claims that we may see prices go up by at least $50.
According to the latest report from analysts at TrendForce, the new iPhone 12 models could be $50 to $100 more expensive than the iPhone 11 lineup. The entry-level 5.4-inch iPhone 12 could start anywhere from $699 to $749, the 12 Max would be placed between $799 and $849, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max could even reach a $1,199 price tag. A previous report claimed that Apple was going to stop including chargers and Earpods in these devices to keep the prices down. However, this report suggests that 5G isn’t going to make that possible.

Apple vs. Fortnite disputes may be getting out of control. Now, Apple iPhones with Fortnite installed are being listed on eBay for insane prices.
Apple has recently removed the Fortnite app from its App Store. Epic Games included an alternative payment method that would save users some money if they decided to buy directly from the Epic Store. This has led to legal actions on both sides, and we could even see Epic lose access to its developer app tools.
However, this could end up hurting players, more than the companies above. Some eBay users are starting to list iPhones on sale with Fortnite installed on the device. Prices as high as $10,000 have been mentioned for an iPhone X, which would easily get you up to six maxed iPhone 11 Pro Max devices, but these would come without the app. We strongly advise you not to go for these devices, as you can install Fortnite on your iPhone is you had installed it before.
To reinstall Fortnite on your iPhone, just go to your “My Purchases” section in the App Store, then tap “purchases: and you will find every single iOS app you’ve ever installed. Search for the “Fortnite” app, and you should start the download process by clicking on the cloud icon. This will download around 10GB of app files, and it should let you play, or at least until the next update arrives.

The latest iPhone SE comes with 64GB in storage for $399, and a new leak from 9to5Google’s Stephen Hall, says that the Google Pixel 4a could arrive with the same 64GB in storage for $299, and you could even get the Pixel 4a with 128GB in storage for $349, which means $50 less than the iPhone SE’s starting price point. We recently saw the results of a performance test applied to a preproduction model of the Pixel 4a, and its results were promising.
