Amazon next big “Prime Day” sale is coming on October 10-11. It could be a good time to find a deal on iPhones or iPhone accessories on the site.
If you’re in the U.S. the deals don’t tend to be as good as on other sites. The latest iPhones are rarely discounted anywhere in the U.S, with most sales going to older or refurbished models. Amazon isn’t usually the best place to buy a new iPhone in the U.S. as Amazon’s new iPhones are carrier locked to Boost Infinite, a relatively new carrier owned by Dish. Amazon’s deal for iPhone 15 models are identical to the Boost Infinite site: $60/month gets you a “free” iPhone 15 Pro, paid for in bill credits over 3 years with an option to upgrade (and start the 36 months over) every year.
In the U.K., though, you can find the latest iPhones unlocked at Amazon and at other resellers. Supplies can be limited, and there are usually only small discounts for the newest handsets, but you might see some good deals on the older iPhone models such as the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and the iPhone SE. You can see current deals on various iPhones below.
In order to take advantage of the Prime Day deals, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis, (but can be cancelled after 30 days) and gives you two-day free delivery and access to Prime Video.
While Amazon doesn’t sell the latest iPhone 15 in the U.S., Prime Day can be a great time to get iPhone accessories. Here are the best sales we’re tracking.
At time of writing, the iPhone 15 is showing as unavailable on Amazon U.K. (Indeed all four 15-series models are showing as unavailable if you look on the site’s Apple front page, although there is stock of a few specifications as you can below.) We don’t know if this is simply a stock shortage or something deeper, but it’s worth checking regularly in case this changes.

At time of writing, the 15 Pro was the only new model we could find on Amazon U.K., although as yet there aren’t any discounts.

In Amazon’s October 2022 sale, when the 14-series handsets were new, we didn’t see any iPhone 14 discounts at all. Things may well be different this year, although at time of writing Amazon is merely matching the price cuts Apple announced when it launched the iPhone 15.
Amazon U.K.:
This is the larger-screen, larger-battery version of the iPhone 14. Last October we didn’t see any discounts here either; it remains to be seen whether Amazon will be prepared to beyond Apple’s recent price cuts, which are reflected in the RRPs below.
Amazon U.K.:
The Pro model adds an always-on 120Hz ProMotion display, an improved 48MP camera, LiDAR, and the new Dynamic Island interface. But it costs a lot more. Note that the 14 Pro has been discontinued, so the RRPs listed below are from when it launched in 2022; you should be looking to pay well below those numbers.
Amazon U.K.:
Identical to the iPhone 14 Pro, only larger. The larger battery size makes this a very, very long-lasting iPhone.
Amazon U.K.:
For those on a budget, or who just really want Touch ID instead of Face ID, there’s the iPhone SE from 2022. It’s as fast as the iPhone 14, but with an older design that has huge bezels, and a more limited camera.
Amazon U.K.:
2021’s “standard” iPhone continues to offer a solid combination of features, performance, and battery life at a reduced price. But like most of Apple’s iPhone range, the 13 got a price cut in fall 2023, so make sure you’re comparing Amazon’s offering with the current RRP.
Amazon U.K.:
If you don’t mind shopping elsewhere, here are the best prices for the iPhone 13 from a range of retailers:
The Amazon Prime Day Sale is only open to Prime members, so you’ll need to sign in with an active membership to purchase one of the deals. Prime memberships cost $139 / £95 / AUD$59 annually, or $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial that can be canceled at any time during the trial window. You’ll also get free one or two-day delivery and access to Amazon Prime Video and all that content.
One tip if you are looking for a good deal is to check that the product discounted isn’t a refurbished model, as that can make the price look a lot better than it is.
