From Croma’s ₹45,900 iPhone 17 in India to aggressive Sky Mobile and Verizon bundles, here are the strongest iPhone 17 Black Friday offers still live today, November 29, 2025.
At a glance: today’s standout iPhone 17 Black Friday deals
United Kingdom
- Giffgaff iPhone 17 with unlimited data – around £35.67 per month + £25 upfront for the 256GB iPhone 17 with unlimited calls, texts and data, flagged as a hero deal in The Independent’s latest Black Friday iPhone roundup. [1]
- O2 iPhone 17 contract saving ~£360 – iPhone 17 on a 36‑month plan at £49.20 per month plus £30 upfront, with a reduced monthly price vs the usual tariff, saving about £10 a month over the full term. [2]
- iPhone 17 Pro “big data” deal via Uswitch – contract highlighted by The Independent with 500GB of data for ~£43.99 per month and £119 upfront, effectively making the data portion very cheap once you subtract Apple’s £1,099 SIM‑free price. [3]
- Sky Mobile iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max – TechRadar points to iPhone 17 Pro at about £34 per month + £12 upfront, with 40GB of data for £10 extra, totalling £44 p/m over 36 months. The same 40GB promo can also be applied to the iPhone 17, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air. [4]
- Uswitch iPhone 17 Pro Max Black Friday specials – Three‑network contracts with 500GB or unlimited 5G data from around £49.99 per month and various upfront fees, last updated 29/11/2025, confirming these deals are live today. [5]
India
- Croma iPhone 17 at “effective” ₹45,900 – Times of India reports Croma’s Black Friday sale combines ₹1,000 bank cashback + up to ₹29,000 exchange value + ₹7,000 fixed exchange bonus on the base iPhone 17 (launch price ₹82,900), bringing the effective price down to ₹45,900 for customers who hit the maximum exchange value. Offer valid through November 30, 2025 in Croma stores. [6]
United States
- Verizon triple‑device bundle – Tom’s Guide highlights one of the wildest offers: iPhone 17 free on a 36‑month unlimited plan, plus the option to get an iPad and Apple Watch 11 free when you add data plans for those devices – with no trade‑in required. [7]
- T‑Mobile “Apple Bundle on Us” – T‑Mobile’s own Black Friday announcement offers iPhone 17 Pro, iPad (A16) and Apple Watch SE 3 “on us” when you meet trade‑in and plan requirements, with up to $1,100 off any iPhone 17 model or iPhone Air, paid back as bill credits, plus a promo on T‑Mobile 5G Home Internet and up to $300 back. [8]
- Carrier promos tracked by Macworld – Macworld’s Black Friday iPhone guide notes AT&T, Verizon, T‑Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Xfinity Mobile and Boost all offering up to $1,100 off iPhone 17 series phones, usually via trade‑ins and 24–36‑month bill credits, plus Apple’s own gift cards on iPhone 16 and 16e instead of direct discounts. [9]
Below, we break these down by country and user type, so you can see which iPhone 17 deal actually fits you today.
Why these iPhone 17 deals matter today
The iPhone 17 range is Apple’s 2025 flagship line‑up, bringing a 6.3‑inch 120Hz ProMotion display, A19 chip, Center Stage 18MP selfie camera and a 48MP Dual Fusion rear camera system to the “regular” model – features that used to be reserved for Pro‑level phones. [10]
In the UK, the base 256GB iPhone 17 starts at £799 SIM‑free direct from Apple. [11] That means the headline Black Friday phone‑plan deals are really about:
- Reducing upfront costs
- Dropping the monthly tariff
- Or bundling in huge data allowances and free extras
With the devices still very new (launched in September 2025), direct price cuts on the iPhone 17 line are rare – so today’s Black Friday promotions are mostly carrier‑driven. That’s exactly what you see in The Independent, Macworld, TechRadar and Times of India coverage for November 29, 2025. [12]
Best iPhone 17 Black Friday deals in the UK (November 29, 2025)
1. Giffgaff: unlimited‑data iPhone 17 for value seekers
The Independent’s live Black Friday iPhone 17 coverage highlights a strong offer from Giffgaff:
- Phone: iPhone 17 (256GB)
- Monthly: about £35.67
- Upfront:£25
- Allowance: Unlimited data, calls and texts
This is one of the few deals pairing unlimited data with a relatively modest monthly payment on Apple’s newest non‑Pro iPhone, and it undercuts many traditional networks on similar allowances. [13]
Who it suits:
- Heavy streamers and commuters who want to stop thinking about data caps
- Buyers who don’t want to pay the full £799 up front but still want the latest hardware
2. O2: longer contract, predictable saving
On the same Independent roundup, O2 is called out for a 36‑month iPhone 17 plan: [14]
- Phone: iPhone 17 (256GB)
- Monthly:£49.20
- Upfront:£30
- Term: 36 months
- Per‑month saving: about £10 vs the usual O2 tariff, meaning roughly £360 off over the full term
If you’re happy to spread your payments over three years and you know you’ll stay with O2, this is effectively a long‑term discount on both phone and service.
Who it suits:
- Users who stick with one network for years
- Those who want predictable, fixed costs rather than big upfront spending
3. Uswitch 500GB iPhone 17 Pro contract: “power user” choice
The Independent also spotlights a Uswitch‑powered contract for the iPhone 17 Pro:
- Phone: iPhone 17 Pro
- Monthly: around £43.99
- Upfront: about £119
- Data:500GB per month on 5G
- Rough effective cost: once you remove Apple’s £1,099 SIM‑free price, you’re paying only a few pounds a month for a huge data allowance. [15]
Uswitch’s own comparison page confirms that iPhone 17 Pro Max deals in the same ecosystem are offering 500GB or unlimited data on 24‑month contracts with total costs clustered between roughly £1,290 and £1,600, plus perks like free Apple Music, Apple Arcade and roaming in up to 73 destinations. [16]
Who it suits:
- Creators, tetherers and anyone who uses their iPhone as a hotspot
- People who want a high‑end iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max and don’t want to micromanage data usage
4. Sky Mobile: the most compelling iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max deals
If you care more about monthly affordability than outright cost, Sky Mobile is emerging as the most interesting player.
TechRadar’s phones editor, after trawling the web, picks a Sky iPhone 17 Pro deal as the one he’d actually buy: [17]
- Phone: iPhone 17 Pro
- Device payments: about £34 per month + £12 upfront (36 months)
- Data bolt‑on:
- 40GB for £10 per month (total £44 p/m)
- OR 10GB for £8 p/m (total £42 p/m)
- Data rollover: unused data can roll over to a “piggybank”, making the finite plans better value than they first appear
TechRadar notes that this is one of the only iPhone 17 Pro deals that gets you at least 10GB of data for under £45 a month and less than £20 upfront – cheaper and more generous on data than comparable contracts from Tesco Mobile, O2 and Vodafone. [18]
Separately, UK tabloids like The Sun have flagged a Sky iPhone 17 Pro Max offer at roughly £37 per month over 24 months with £12 upfront, plus a discounted 40GB data add‑on for £10, making it one of the cheapest ways to own Apple’s largest Pro handset this Black Friday. [19]
Who it suits:
- Shoppers who want the latest design and camera upgrades in Cosmic Orange or Deep Blue, but at a lower monthly outlay
- Families who like the idea of data rollover and flexible Sky “Mix & Match” style plans
5. Pro Max contract hunters: Three‑based deals on Uswitch
If you’re specifically eyeing the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Uswitch’s dedicated Pro Max page (updated today, 29 November 2025) lists multiple Three‑network offers such as: [20]
- Unlimited 5G data, 24 months – around £55.99 p/m + £29 upfront, total cost ~£1,414.76, including roaming in 50 destinations and three months of Apple Music and Arcade
- 500GB 5G data, 24 months – around £49.99 p/m + £99 upfront, total ~£1,340.76
- 500GB data at a lower monthly cost but higher upfront – e.g. £43.99 p/m + £219 upfront, total ~£1,316.76, again with roaming and Apple service trials
These are heavy‑duty plans designed to replace broadband for some users, and they compare well to Apple’s £1,199 SIM‑free Pro Max pricing in the UK. [21]
India: Croma’s iPhone 17 at an effective ₹45,900
Indian shoppers finally get a proper Black Friday‑style iPhone 17 deal this year via Croma, which Times of India reports as one of the retailer’s biggest smartphone promotions of 2025: [22]
- Phone: iPhone 17 (base variant)
- Launch price:₹82,900
- Bank cashback:₹1,000
- Exchange value: up to ₹29,000 for eligible old phones
- Fixed exchange bonus:₹7,000
- Effective price (max savings):₹45,900
- Validity: through November 30, 2025, in Croma stores
Times of India also highlights the 120Hz ProMotion display, A19 chipset, upgraded 18MP Center Stage selfie camera, and dual rear camera system as key reasons this deal is especially attractive for upgraders coming from older iPhones or mid‑range Androids. [23]
How to actually hit the ₹45,900 figure:
- You’ll need a recent, high‑value device in good condition to get near the ₹29,000 exchange cap.
- The exchange bonus and cashback are then layered on top.
- If your exchange value is lower, your effective price will be higher – but still substantially discounted vs launch.
Who it suits:
- iPhone 12/13/14 owners in India with well‑kept phones to trade in
- Android users with premium recent devices from Samsung, OnePlus, Google etc., where Croma’s exchange tables are generous
United States: bundles and bill‑credit bonanzas
American carriers are leaning hard into bundle economics this Black Friday, especially for iPhone 17.
1. Verizon: iPhone 17 + iPad + Apple Watch for “free”
Tom’s Guide’s live iPhone deals tracker calls out a Verizon offer that’s hard to ignore: [24]
- Phone: iPhone 17
- Offer: phone’s device cost effectively $0, spread as 36 months of bill credits on a qualifying unlimited plan
- Sweeteners: option to add a free iPad and Apple Watch (e.g. Apple Watch 11, iPad 11) when you put those devices on their own data plans
- Trade‑in: notably, this specific bundle doesn’t require a trade‑in, which is rare at this level
You’re locking into a long‑term relationship with Verizon, but for households that needed a new phone, tablet and watch anyway, the maths can look compelling.
2. T‑Mobile: the “Apple Bundle on Us”
T‑Mobile’s own newsroom confirms its biggest Black Friday play is an Apple bundle worth almost $2,000 in headline savings: [25]
- iPhone 17 Pro (or up to $1,100 off any iPhone 17 / iPhone Air)
- Trade in any eligible device (in any condition)
- Activate on an Experience Beyond plan (or Go5G Next / qualifying business plans)
- Discount is paid as 24 monthly bill credits
- iPad (A16) on Us when you add a qualifying tablet line (36 months of bill credits)
- Apple Watch SE 3 on Us when you add a watch line (36 months of bill credits)
- 5G Home Internet – one month free plus $300 virtual prepaid Mastercard on the All‑In plan
- Switch offers: four lines for $25 per line, with four iPhone 17 units on Us (again via bill credits), for families switching in.
The fine print is classic carrier stuff—multiple lines, bill credits over 2–3 years—but if you were already planning to move to T‑Mobile and outfit several family members, this is one of the richest Apple‑centric bundles on the market today.
3. Other U.S. carrier deals (AT&T, Xfinity, Boost and more)
Macworld’s Black Friday iPhone guide rounds up the broader US picture: [26]
- AT&T: up to $1,100 off iPhone 17 Pro with eligible trade‑in and a 36‑month plan
- T‑Mobile: free iPhone 17 / 17 Pro / iPhone Air when you switch or trade in on a qualifying Experience Beyond plan, with 24 months of bill credits
- Verizon: free iPhone 17 or 17 Pro with trade‑in and certain Unlimited plans, with extra bundles that include iPad and Apple Watch
- U.S. Cellular & Xfinity Mobile: up to $1,100 off iPhone 17 series with new lines and contracts
- Boost Mobile: up to $850 off the iPhone 17 on select plans
Because all of these rely on bill credits, you need to:
- Check that the monthly plan cost still makes sense vs a cheaper MVNO + buying the phone outright.
- Read the terms on what happens if you cancel early – you normally forfeit remaining credits.
How good are these deals compared to buying SIM‑free?
Apple’s own pricing and specs give useful context:
- iPhone 17 256GB: from £799 in the UK; A19 chip, 6.3‑inch 120Hz ProMotion OLED, 48MP Dual Fusion rear camera, 18MP Center Stage selfie camera, Ceramic Shield 2 and longer battery life than iPhone 16. [27]
- iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max: 6.3‑ and 6.9‑inch Super Retina XDR 120Hz displays, titanium design, up to 2TB storage (Pro Max), new triple 48MP “Fusion” camera array and A19 Pro chip. [28]
Given those RRPs, the standout offers today are the ones that either:
- Knock hundreds off the total cost vs SIM‑free + cheap SIM (e.g. Croma’s ₹45,900 iPhone 17 when you hit max exchange credits). [29]
- Deliver top‑tier models (17 Pro / Pro Max) with meaningful data for under £45 a month in the UK (Sky Mobile deals). [30]
- Package multiple Apple devices together (Verizon and T‑Mobile Apple bundles). [31]
If a contract doesn’t clearly beat “Apple RRP + a low‑cost SIM‑only plan” over the life of the deal, it’s not really a Black Friday win.
How to choose the right iPhone 17 deal for you
1. Decide your priority: price, predictability or perks
- Go for Croma’s exchange‑heavy deal if you’re in India with a valuable phone to trade in and want the lowest possible effective price. [32]
- Opt for Giffgaff / Sky / O2‑type contracts if you’re in the UK and want lower monthly payments and lots of data rather than lump sums. [33]
- Choose U.S. carrier bundles if your household needs multiple Apple devices and you’re comfortable staying with one network for 2–3 years. [34]
2. Don’t forget the hidden costs
- Bill‑credit deals (AT&T, Verizon, T‑Mobile, Xfinity, U.S. Cellular, Boost) are great only if you see the contract through. Leave early and you’ll owe the remaining device balance. [35]
- UK contracts with 24‑ or 36‑month terms may see small annual price rises (e.g. fixed pound‑and‑pence increases that replace older inflation‑linked hikes), as flagged on Uswitch’s Black Friday tables. [36]
- Exchange‑based deals depend heavily on device condition and model – not everyone will get the headline maximum savings Croma advertises. [37]
3. Match the model to your use‑case
- iPhone 17 – best all‑rounder; lighter, cheaper, still gets 120Hz ProMotion, Apple Intelligence features and a strong dual camera. Great with Giffgaff, Croma and some carrier bundles. [38]
- iPhone 17 Pro – for photographers, gamers and those who want the new triple‑lens system and titanium build without the Pro Max’s size. Works especially well with Sky’s 40GB plan. [39]
- iPhone 17 Pro Max – for big‑screen fans and maximal battery/camera performance; best tackled via Sky or Three‑based deals on Uswitch, depending on whether you prefer lower monthly costs or lower upfront payments. [40]
- iPhone Air – ultra‑thin design and lower weight; good bundle potential (AT&T/T‑Mobile discounts, some UK SIM‑free cuts), but recent reporting suggests it’s less compelling value than the regular 17 and 17 Pro. [41]
Final tips before you click “buy”
- Compare total cost of ownership, not just the headline monthly price. Add all payments over the contract and subtract realistic extras (e.g. gift cards, bundle devices you genuinely wanted).
- Screenshot or save offer pages – many of these Black Friday iPhone 17 deals end on November 30 or switch to Cyber Monday variants with different terms. [42]
- Check stock and delivery times – some Pro Max and specific colours (like Cosmic Orange) are already on long backorder at certain retailers, so even “live” deals may ship later in December. [43]
If you’re happy with your current network and want maximum flexibility, buying the iPhone 17 outright at £799/₹82,900/US MSRP and pairing it with a cheap SIM‑only plan can still be the smartest move. But if you’re willing to switch carriers, trade in an old handset, or lock in for a few years, today’s Black Friday offers on November 29, 2025 are some of the best chances you’ll get this year to upgrade to the iPhone 17 line without paying full price.
