Cyber Monday, you may have noticed, is no longer a specific date on the calendar. This year especially, with a late Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are more like a vibe. The deals started arriving well before Thanksgiving and they’ve lasted well into the weekend, just like turkey leftovers. If the new vibes-based Cyber Monday means shopping for discounted phones and accessories online any day you please, well, that’s a vibe I can relate to.
The best Cyber Monday phone accessory deals
- Moft is offering between $10 and $60 off your order of phone accessories like its combination phone stand/wallet, which is a favorite of this phone-case-hater.
- AirTags, which are always a good stocking stuff, are on sale for $24 each (down from $29.99) at Amazon, Target, and practically everywhere else you can find them.
- Target has Apple’s 20W USB-C charging brick for $14.99, which is $5 off the full price.
- Otterbox is offering 30 percent off cases on Amazon, so you can get its Commuter series case for the iPhone 16 starting at $31.46 or the Pixel 9 starting at $27.96.
The best Apple iPhone Black Friday deals
- Verizon is offering up to $1,000 off an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max and up to $830 off an iPhone 16 when you trade in any phone in any condition, provided you’re signed on to a “select Unlimited plan.” AT&T is also offering $1,000 off the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max or $830 off an iPhone 16 with trade-in. You can get the same Verizon and AT&T deals through Best Buy, in which case you’ll get a $100 Best Buy gift card with your purchase.
The best Samsung Galaxy deals
- The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is on a steep discount too, down to $1,312.33 from $1,899 at Amazon, which is the lowest price we’ve seen. The long, narrow outer screen isn’t my favorite format for a folding phone, but it has plenty of fans and its multitasking UI is excellent.
- The Galaxy A35 5G comes with a robust IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it should survive a brief swim in a puddle or… you know. Coupled with a strong software support policy with five years of promised security updates, it’s a great deal in the under-$500 class. It’s $299.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung’s online store.
The best Google Pixel Black Friday deals
- Google’s Pixel 8A is a heck of a deal at $399 ($100), its current price at Amazon and the Google Store. It’s part of the previous generation of Pixel phones, but it’s only six months old since it came out halfway through the 8 series’ product cycle.
The best Motorola Black Friday deals
Best OnePlus Black Friday deals
- Amazon doesn’t have the 128GB version of the OnePlus 12R in stock, but it is offering the 256GB variant for $499.99 ($100 off). You can also find that deal at OnePlus and Best Buy.
- The OnePlus Open is going for $1,199.99, down from $1,699.99, which is an excellent price for a great folding phone. It’s a year old at this point, but it should still receive another four years of security updates. You can get an extra $100 off with a trade-in if you go through OnePlus directly, but the discounted price is also available from Amazon and Best Buy.
