Will iPhones be cheaper on Prime Day 2023? Our prediction
A black iPhone 14 Pro lying on a table.

Prime Day 2023 is just around the corner with Amazon recently announcing that the two-day sales event will run from July 11 and through July 12. That means if you've been waiting to spend money on some of the best Apple deals around, you may be wondering whether Prime Day is the right time to buy. For now, we don't have concrete information on iPhone deals but we can get a rough idea of what to expect based on previous Prime Day sales. While there's rarely any shortage of Apple deals as part of the event, buying an iPhone cheaply is a less simple proposition. Want to know what to do? Let's take a look at your options.

We'll get straight to the point -- Prime Day iPhone deals are very rarely on brand-new iPhones at Amazon. It simply doesn't happen, however, Amazon does sometimes offer discounts on refurbished models so if those are the kind of iPhone deals you're happy with, it could be worth waiting. In particular, we could see some refurbished iPhone deals over at Amazon-owned retailer, Woot, where that kind of stock tends to reside.

The latest iPhone SE just had its price slashed to $149 (seriously)
The Apple iPhone SE (2022)'s screen.

It's rare to see cheap phone deals that involve an iPhone but that's what Walmart has right now. Today, you can buy the latest iPhone SE for just $149 saving you $230 off the regular price. The catch is that it's locked to Straight Talk and obviously, it won't be competing with 'full' iPhones. However, at this price, it's still going to be tempting for anyone who wants an Apple phone on a budget.

Why you should buy the iPhone SE
Slowly working its way down the best iPhone list, the iPhone SE is still the best phone for anyone on a tight budget. It has an attractive 4.7-inch Retina HD display that goes perfectly with its up to 15 hours of video playback battery life. It has 5G connectivity like the best phones offer so you don't have to worry about missing out on great data speeds.

Every iPhone owner needs this portable charger stand, and it’s $17 off
anker 622 wireless charger deal amazon march 2023 feature

An iPhone is good for little if you can’t keep it charged up and ready to go, and today you can catch a deal on a portable wireless charger at Amazon. The Anker 622 Magnetic Wireless Charger is seeing a price drop down below $43, which will save you about $17 from its regular price of $70. It’s compatible with several different Apple iPhone models, and is available in a variety of different colors. Free shipping is included with your purchase.

Why you should buy the Anker 622 Wireless Charger
There are a lot of chargers out there to consider if you have one of the best iPhones, but few of them are as portable or as practical as the Anker 622 Magnetic Wireless Charger. It connects to your iPhone with a super strong magnet that snaps it into place with the wireless charging magnet within the iPhone, and from there, charges it up via USB-C cable. One of the things that makes this such an attractive charger it’s super slim, and when it’s unplugged it’s able to stay attached to the iPhone. It’s so slim, in fact, you could essentially leave it attached to the iPhone when it’s not in use and you would barely notice the added weight and dimensions.
