How can I get a cheap iPhone?

There are several ways to save money on an iPhone.

1. Choose a smaller phone. Larger iPhones and those with more storage capacity are more expensive. You will pay less for the basic model.

2. Buy an older model. You can find older iPhones that still function with the latest software and pay way less than the new phones.

3. Wait for a promotion. When the latest iPhone comes out carriers typically offer deals for customers. It's a great time to take advantage of their options to get the newest iPhone.

4. Buy a pre-owned iPhone. Used or refurbished phones are a great option when purchased from a trustworthy seller like Device Pitstop.  They’re actually reliable — affordable — and come with a warranty.

5. Sell or trade in your old phone. If you don’t need your phone, sell it or trade it in. You can end up with extra cash or credit that you can apply toward a new iPhone. You can sell your phone yourself or avoid the hassle and sell it to Device Pitstop. We pay cash on the spot.
