Both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra are free with a new line at Verizon right now – no trade needed, either

While all eyes are on this weekend’s 4th of July sales and early Prime Day deals, other retailers are also offering some superb promotions. Over at Verizon, for example, the carrier has some of the best deals we’ve seen all year on the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra. You can bag either of these high-end devices for free alongside a new line on an Ultimate unlimited plan today for a total saving of $1,200.

While the ‘Ultimate’ plan is the most premium (and priciest) plan at Verizon, you don’t technically need to trade in at all to get these devices on the house. That’s incredibly impressive considering how much either device still fetches when you pay upfront.

Note, if you’re looking for a lower-end plan, then you’ll also find similar deals on the iPhone 16 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 with more reasonable eligibility criteria. All devices are also available with a free tablet and smartwatch as bonus gifts, although note that you will need to pay a little extra per month to claim them, so budget accordingly!
