This year’s Black Friday deals are now live and Walmart has seen fit to drop its already excellent iPhone 12 deal at an even lower price. Right now, if you have a Walmart Plus member, you can pick up Apple’s still-capable 2020 standard model for a record low $299 ($299!). If you’re not a Walmart Plus member, this deal goes live for everyone at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT, but with a free Walmart Plus trial available, why wait?
Previously, Walmart had the device for $399 (down from $499), so $299 represents a huge 50% savings off the phone’s current MSRP. The only caveat here is that the device is locked to the Straight Talk network, so you’ll have to grab one of the latter pay-as-you-go plans to join your purchase (the cheapest 30-day plan costs $15). Not in the US? The iPhone 12 for £449 at Very is currently the best option in Britain.
I already praised the iPhone 12 this week and you can read more in our iPhone 12 review. But here’s the long story short: For that new $299 price, you get an OLED display that still holds its own against newer iPhone models, as well as an A14 Bionic chipset that’s just one generation behind the equivalent the iPhone 14. Better yet: despite its age, the iPhone 12 is virtually future-proof. Apple typically supports iPhones with the latest software and security updates for six or seven years after they’re discontinued, and since the iPhone 12 has only just been discontinued, it’s safe to expect it to remain supported until at least 2029.
If you’re not sold on this iPhone 12 deal, check out our round-up of the best Black Friday iPhone deals available right now.
Best Black Friday iPhone 12 deals
You might be wondering if the iPhone 12 is still relevant in light of the iPhone 15. But the iPhone 12 is 5G compatible and features Apple’s MagSafe technology, which is still the standard in 2023 for iPhone accessories.
As for the bad things about this phone, the cameras and battery life are just… okay. You get two perfectly matched 12MP shooters on the back and another on the front, and the iPhone 12’s battery life is around 18 hours on a high-use day. Otherwise, the iPhone 12 remains an extremely capable device for 2023.
