Cyber Monday deals are already bleeding into Black Friday sales, and Verizon is obviously in the mix with their awesome Apple offerings.
As of this writing, you could get the 3rd Gen iPhone SE for free at Verizon with the activation of a new line, down from the original price of $429. When it comes to the best iPhone deals you'll find on sale this week, they don't get much better than "free." (Though you will need to activate a new line with a 5G Unlimited plan.)
In short, anyone in the market for a new iPhone for Cyber Monday will want this deal on their shortlist.

Price history: We've found the iPhone SE on sale throughout the year, but iPhone deals don't get much better than "free."
Reviews: We gave this device four stars in our full iPhone SE (2022) review, and so did all of our sister sites. The consensus seems clear: the iPhone SE comes with a few compromises in terms of overall performance (and less-capable cameras), but most consumers probably won't even notice.
Laptop Mag: ★★★★ | T3: ★★★★ | Tom's Guide: ★★★★ | TechRadar: ★★★★
Buy if: You want an entry-level iPhone that won't break the bank — especially if you're already a Verizon or AT&T customer.
Don't buy if: You want an iPhone with bleeding-edge optics and/or a bigger touchscreen.
