Take a look at some of the other Black Friday deals we’ve found around the web

Will there be any SIM-free iPhone SE Black Friday deals?

We’d expect there will be some decent SIM-free iPhone SE deals around Black Friday.

At the time of writing, the best price on the iPhone SE is £399 at Currys PC World and at Amazon, but that price may go down closer to, or on, Black Friday itself.

Will the iPhone SE be the best cheap iphone you can buy on Black Friday?

It seems likely the iPhone SE will be the best cheap iPhone you can buy on Black Friday.

The SE is effectively an upgrade of the iPhone 8 with a faster processor and a better camera.

You could save yourself a few quid and buy an iPhone 8, especially if it’s renewed/refurbished, but as a balance of features to cost, the SE is a decent upgrade on the 8 and shouldn’t be that much more expensive.

When did the iphone SE come out?

The second generation of the iPhone SE was released in April 2020, whereas the original was released in 2016.

When is Black Friday 2020?

This year Black Friday falls on Friday November 27. It is always the day after the American holiday, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November.

Sales of tech devices, specifically smartphones, started a couple of weeks before the date last year. So we could see some iPhone SE deals before Black Friday even arrives.

Although not impossible, Apple itself is unlikely to offer much in the way of discounts – the iPhone SE is already fairly affordable and highly sought after.

But we expect plenty of mobile retailers will be looking to offer the best iPhone SE Black Friday deals possible.

When is Cyber Monday 2020?

After Black Friday, the sales continue.

You’ll find discounts through the Cyber Weekend and Cyber Monday, which is on Monday, November 30, this year.

Mobile retailers tend to keep sales on through the weekend and Cyber Monday, and occasionally, there are new discounts announced just for Cyber Monday itself.

Who has the best iPhone deals on Black Friday?

Deals and prices change quickly across Black Friday, so there’s no definite best retailer.

While Amazon tends to offer competitive SIM-free prices, the likes of Carphone Warehouse, Mobiles.co.uk, Affordable Mobiles and Fonehouse are options for contract deals.

For more affordable iPhone SE Black Friday deals, the likes of E2Save and IDMobile are also worth keeping an eye on.

The most affordable iPhone will likely see some strong deals

iPhone SE Black Friday 2020 deals to look out for

It is hard to know how retailers will approach the iPhone SE this Black Friday. While there will likely be good deals, the phone was only released this year so knowing what may be offered isn’t easy.

The best deals right now offer 15-30GB monthly data allowances at around £25 a month. Upfront costs vary, but deals no upfront cost will likely be sought after. Right now if the total contract cost is below £650, it’s a great deal.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a SIM-free iPhone SE, Black Friday should offer a decent discount on the standard price of £419.

Is the new iPhone SE worth buying in 2020?

The short answer is yes. If you are after a new iPhone, but don’t want to spend more than £600, then the punchy and affordable iPhone SE is the best option.

That’s also true if you want to save on your monthly outgoings with a contract deal.

The SE offers a compact but high-quality 4.7-inch display, uses the latest A13 bionic processor, is splash water and dust-resistant – and it offers a capable camera set-up.
