Best iPhone Deals for September 2023: Last minute bargains before the iPhone 15

As the iPhone 15 prepares to drop, several retailers are now pushing incredible iPhone 14 Pro deals to get rid of stock.
Apple’s end of year event is just around the corner, and while we expect to see refreshes for the MacBook Pro and the Apple Watch, the big star of the show will of course be the iPhone 15. There are tons of rumours out there about what this refresh will entail, including bringing the Dynamic Island to all models in the range, as well as the introduction (finally) of USB-C on an iPhone.
As you can imagine, with it being so close to that reveal, now isn’t exactly the ideal time to buy a new iPhone, and if you can hold off for another week then we do recommend staying patient so that you can make an informed decision once we know for sure what the iPhone 15 brings to the table.
With that said, buying last-generation iPhones isn’t quite as egregious an act as it is with some Android phones, and this is largely down to the impressive software and security support that Apple still currently offers to many of its older phones. Seven years of support tends to be the average for most of Apple’s handsets.
On top of that, it also helps that in order to ready themselves for the iPhone 15 launch, there’s a bunch of retailers offering some impressive iPhone deals in order to make way for new stock. To see the best iPhone deals currently available, just keep on scrolling.

Best iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max Deals
Starting with the true flagship of the latest bunch, the iPhone 14 Pro is a beast of a phone, and easily one of our favourite handsets of 2023.
The new Dynamic Island does away with the controversial notch of old and opens up a whole new aspect to the iOS UI by overhauling notification layouts. That’s before mentioning the new camera upgrades which include a 48MP sensor for more detailed shots than ever before.

When will the next iPhone come out?
The iPhone 15 is expected to launch during Apple’s event on September 12th, with an anticipated release sometime later in the same month. As mentioned earlier, we recommend holding off upgrading to a new handset just until we know for sure what features are available for the new range of iPhones. The last thing anyone wants is to upgrade now and then look on in envy when the iPhone 15 boasts a must-have feature that you’ve wanted for ages.
Which iPhone should I get?
Even though they may look quite similar from the outside, there’s a lot that separate each iPhone from the next. If you want to be more clued in as to how the latest brood compare then simply check out our comprehensive specs comparison below.
Is it better to wait until Black Friday?
For most shoppers, Black Friday is the best time of year to bag a bargain on high priced tech items. iPhones definitely fall into that remit, and we certainly saw some fantastic deals crop up throughout the most recent iteration of the sale.
If your current phone contract is ending around the same time as Black Friday then it’s a clear answer – it’s easily the best time to upgrade to a new iPhone. Outside of that however, there are still plenty of incredible iPhone deals that crop up throughout the year (and in other annual sales) that you don’t have to wait around for November to bag a bargain. The deals on this very page prove as much.
