I can't believe these Cyber Monday free smartphone deals are still live

Free iPhone 15 Pro Max with new Boost Infinite service at Amazon
Save: up to $1,399

<p><strong>Deal Overview: This has to be the best free iPhone Cyber Monday deal going. Amazon's offering a free iPhone 15 Pro (or any iPhone 15 in fact, right up to the 512GB version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max) with a 36-month commitment to wireless provider Boost Infinite (not Boost Mobile). In fact, this deal promises the latest iPhone every year. Nice! The unlimited plan costs $60 per month.<p><strong>Why buy it?<br />The iPhone 15 Pro Max is a great choice for photographers, with features like an upgraded 12MP 5x optical zoom (120mm equivalent) camera. This still doesn't compete well with the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 10x zoom, but it has a wider f/2.8 aperture compared to f/4.5 on the Galaxy. There's also the option to customise the default lens, and the phone can now shoot 48MP HEIF as well as Apple Raw.<p><strong>Key Features: 48MP main camera | larger quad-pixel sensor | new titanium chassis| excellent performance and battery life<p><strong>Release date: September 2023<p><strong>Reviews: We gave the iPhone 15 Pro a <a href="https://www.creativebloq.com/reviews/iphone-15-pro">4.5-star review, praising its excellent cameras, battery life (our reviewer got two days out of it), zippy performance, lovely premium-feel titanium chassis (as long as you like sleek shades of grey) and now USB-C instead of Lightning charging.

Free iPhone 15 Pro with an iPhone trade-in at Verizon – plus free iPad and Apple Watch SE
SAVE: up to $1,700

<p><strong>Deal Overview: It's hard to argue with a deal that gives you a free iPhone 15 Pro, especially when you can trade in any iPhone in any condition, not just a recent model. Whether you're a new or existing customer, you'll have to sign up for a new line. You can also get a free iPad or an Apple Watch SE if you include add-on features to the plan. Verizon often runs big iPhone deals, but I'm impressed by this one.<p><strong>Why buy it? The iPhone 15 Pro might not be my first choice as an Android enthusiast, but there's no denying that the iPhone 15 Pro is still a very powerful and capable device with benefits for creatives and tools to create great content.<p><strong>Release date: September 2023<p><strong>Reviews: We gave the iPhone 15 Pro a <a href="https://www.creativebloq.com/reviews/iphone-15-pro">4.5-star review, praising its excellent cameras, battery life (our reviewer got two days out of it), zippy performance, lovely premium-feel titanium chassis (as long as you like sleek shades of grey) and now USB-C instead of Lightning charging.
