Free iPhone deals are hard to come by these days. If you've been waiting for one, Best Buy is offering a free iPhone SE with purchase of a Sprint iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.
Free iPhone SE
If you're in the market for a new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus and don't mind signing a 24-month installment agreement with Sprint, you may want to check out an exclusive deal from Best Buy. The retailer is offering a free 16 GB iPhone SE, which retails for $399 when you purchase an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. Best Buy's free iPhone SE offer is only available in the retailer's stores; online purchases do not qualify for this deal.
"Buy or lease an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus for Sprint and get a free iPhone SE (16GB).
Requires 2 new lines or 1 new line plus eligible upgrade. The new line(s) must be on an Unlimited Freedom or Best Buy One plan.
iPhone SE (16GB) free after monthly service credits. The iPhone SE (64GB) and iPhone 6s devices receive a $400 service credit," notes the retailer on its website.
iPhone SE Specs And Features
The iPhone SE was announced by Apple in March 2016 and was marketed as a smaller alternative to the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus, due to the iPhone SE's 4-inch Retina display. It includes many of the same specs as the iPhone 6s series, including powerful 64-bit A9 processor, M9 coprocessor, and 2 GB of RAM, which helped the handset outperform Google's latest flagship Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones in Geekbench benchmarks.
The iPhone SE boasts a 12-megapixel rear camera with phase detection, autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash, ability to capture 4K video @ 30fps, 1080p HD video @ 30fps or 60fps. Its front-facing FaceTime HD camera can take 1.2-megpixel images with Retina Flash, and 720p HD video recording.
The smartphone includes Touch ID embedded in its home button that allows users to unlock the device and authorize mobile payments and its 1,624 mAh non-removable battery will provide up to 14 hours of talk time and up to 240 hours of standby time. Apple offers the iPhone SE in choice of Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold.
The free Sprint iPhone SE Best Buy deal cannot be purchased online, so if you're interested in scoring this promotion, you'll have to head over to your Best Buy store. This offer expires on Feb. 2 or while supplies last, so it's best to call your Best Buy store to make sure the iPhone SE model you want is available.
