RadioShack offers deal for $25 iPhone 4

If you’re interested in acquiring an iPhone 4 — and so far have managed to resist buying one — then RadioShack’s current sale should be just the thing to win you over. From now until December 11, RadioShack is offering the iPhone 4 for $50 cheaper than its standard price for new AT&T customers and for current customers who are eligible for an upgrade. That means $150 for the 16GB model and $250 for the 32GB model.  The $50 discount also applies to other iPhone models offered by RadioShack, including the 3GS.

Even more incredibly, RadioShack is offering bigger iPhone 4 discounts through its trade and save program. Customers who bring in a functioning iPhone 3G with an intact screen will get receive a $75 credit; customers who swap a 3GS can take off $125.

The trade-in prices come in addition to the original $50 discount, meaning that customers who trade in a 3GS (a $125 credit) will be able to buy a 16GB iPhone 4 for an astounding price of $25 (yes, $25) or a 32GB model for $125. The 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4 models normally sell for $199.99 and $299.99, respectively, with new AT&T two-year contacts.

The sale is an effort to raise awareness of RadioShack’s sometimes overlooked wireless business by attracting holiday shoppers who might want to spoil themselves with a new iPhone 4.

If this sounds like the perfect excuse to finally cave and get an iPhone 4, you’ll have to leave the house to do it: the deal is only offered through RadioShack’s brick and mortar stores — not online. RadioShack is offering a way for potential customers to check their upgrade eligibility through its website.

Again, we should emphasize that sale prices only apply to new AT&T customers or to those with an AT&T contract who are eligible for an upgrade.

Best Black Friday iPhone deals 2022: What to expect
Best Black Friday iPhone Deals

With the launch of the iPhone 14, Apple fans who want to enjoy even the slightest discount when buying the latest model, and those who don't mind buying an older iPhone for the largest possible savings, are looking forward to this year's Black Friday deals. The shopping holiday isn't arriving for several weeks, but given the popularity of Apple's smartphones, it will be wise to start your preparations for retailers' iPhone deals on Black Friday. We've got the answers to some of the most important questions from shoppers who are planning to buy an iPhone, and we'll provide more tips to maximize Black Friday iPhone deals as the event draws closer.
When will the Black Friday iPhone deals start in 2022?
Black Friday, which always happens after Thanksgiving, will fall on Nov. 25 this year. We're expecting retailers to offer their biggest discounts for iPhones on that day. However, you have the option of finishing your shopping early, because Black Friday iPhone deals will likely begin as soon as Nov. 21, which is the Monday of that week. The bargain prices will hit their peak on Black Friday, with leftovers available over the weekend through Cyber Monday. It's a good idea to buy a new iPhone as early as you can during Black Friday week, so that you won't fall victim to depleted stocks on the model that you're looking to purchase.

While waiting for retailers to roll out their Black Friday iPhone deals, you should check out our choice for the best iPhone to buy. With the arrival of the iPhone 14, its predecessor, the iPhone 13 and its variants, are expected to have their prices slashed for the shopping holiday. You might want to make use of this time to understand the smartphone's features, and maybe even take a look at older models if you want to enjoy even bigger savings.
Which retailer has the best Black Friday iPhone deals?
Apple participates in Black Friday sales, but only by offering gift cards. If you want to buy an iPhone without paying full price, you'll have to look at the Black Friday iPhone deals that will come from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. It's too early to determine the seller that will offer the largest discounts, but they probably won't be too different from each other. That's why it's recommended to focus your search for your new iPhone on your preferred retailer, so that you'll be familiar with the online platform.
