Most people shopping for a new phone want the top-of-the-line model. But there are plenty of reasons for people to opt for an older phone — either as a backup phone, a first device for a tween or for someone with very basic mobile needs. If that sounds like you, you might consider the iPhone 13, which is a few generations old now but can still be a decent option for those with a budget in mind and those who aren’t set on having the most powerful device on the market. Not many outlets are still carrying this model, but our team of expert deal hunters managed to find two places where you can not only buy the iPhone 13 but get it at a deep discount.

The iPhone 13 has essentially the same design, screen and A15 Bionic processor as the iPhone 14, as well as 5G support and MagSafe charging. It has a 12-megapixel front-facing camera, and the two cameras on the back stereoscopically capture 1080p video at 30 frames per second.
If that sounds like the iPhone for you, read on for our top recommendations for iPhone 13 deals.

Best iPhone 13 deals
Very few retailers and carriers are still selling the iPhone 13, so finding deals on them is not easy. If you have an older iPhone that you’re looking to trade in, you can save hundreds on a new model — essentially getting the phone for free. We’ve rounded up the best deals we could find right now, which at the moment are limited to T-Mobile and Best Buy.
We’ll update this page if any new offers become available and will delete old ones if they expire, so check back if your carrier or preferred retailer isn’t listed below.
T-Mobile is currently offering up to 50% off with a new line and is also offering trade-in discounts on top of that. That means you can get the phone for free if the phone you’re trading in is good enough.
When buying a new iPhone 13, you can get up to $230 off when you trade in an older phone. You will also get three free months of Apple TV Plus, Apple Fitness and Apple Music and four free months of Apple Arcade.
Along with that, you can save an additional $150 if you let Best Buy connect you to a carrier when buying the phone.
