The latest Apple handset is the iPhone 13, but the Black Friday sales will centre on previous models like the iPhone 12. That's where big discounts can be found.
In last year's Black Friday sale, which took place just after the iPhone 12 had been released, there were fantastic deals for the iPhone 11 – and we expect the same will be true this year for the iPhone 12.

When is Black Friday 2021?
Black Friday will take place on November 26. The big sale always falls just after the U.S. Thanksgiving celebrations, and this American shopping tradition has become popular in the UK recently as well.
In fact, the Black Friday sale just keeps getting bigger and better, with more deals from numerous retailers. That makes it great news for purchasers, as there are now discounts offered even before Black Friday itself, so keep an eye out from early November onwards.

When is Cyber Monday 2021?
Cyber Monday always comes hot on the heels of Black Friday. This year, that means it's on November 29.
The online-only sale offers exclusive deals and discounts for web purchasers, and is a great way to find your new iPhone without having to brave the crowded shops.
It's also your last chance to get that deal, so if you haven't made your iPhone 12 purchase yet, make sure you get shopping on Cyber Monday.

iPhone 12 Black Friday 2021 deals to look out for
Since the iPhone 13 is the new handset out this autumn, there will likely be fantastic deals on older generation models like the iPhone 12.
Retailers will likely offer contracts with big data packages, possibly even unlimited monthly data.
There may also be lower upfront costs than usual, or lower monthly payments.
Remember that there is always a trade-off between these two, but you can find the best possible packages during the Black Friday sale.
