Prime Day’s over, but July 4th deals are still rolling in. If you’re thinking about a new phone, now’s a good time to buy.
Here’s what’s catching my eye this weekend.
iPhones: A renewed iPhone 17 Pro (512GB) in Cosmic Orange is $1,098 — 12% off. The A19 Pro chip handles gaming and video editing without breaking a sweat. T-Mobile is offering a free iPhone 17 (256GB or 512GB) if you sign up for their Experience Beyond plan. The iPhone 16e is $540 at Best Buy. Not the best camera setup, but the A18 chip supports Apple Intelligence features like Genmoji.
Samsung Galaxy: Multiple Galaxy models are seeing significant discounts across Amazon and Best Buy. The S-series flagships and Z-series foldables are both included in the July 4th sales.
Google Pixel: Pixel phones are also on sale this weekend, with some models seeing $100-$200 off depending on the retailer.
Buying a phone in 2026 is more complicated than ever. Prices keep rising. The market’s packed with good options at every price point. That’s why it pays to watch for holiday sales like this one.
