When is Black Friday 2023?
The shopping bonanza that is Black Friday always follows the Thanksgiving celebrations in the US.
That takes place on the fourth Thursday of November, so Black Friday is on the fourth Friday – in 2023, that’s Friday, the 24th of November.
Will there be any iPhone 13 deals this Black Friday?
Absolutely: in fact, we think the iPhone 13 will be the star of the show.
That’s because it recently lost its top-of-the-line status to the iPhone 14, so it’s pretty much inevitable that prices will fall across plans and hopefully SIM-free handsets too.
Although this is a flashy iPhone, so don’t go thinking it will become cheap per se.
If you’re after a budget iPhone, we’d suggest you take a look at plans being offered on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 – yes, they’re now three and four generations old, but they’re still exceptional phones and are more than enough for the average shopper.

When is Cyber Monday 2023 and is Apple taking part?
It should come as no major surprise that Cyber Monday always comes three days after Black Friday – this year, that’s Monday, 27 November.
Traditionally, Cyber Monday was a day of online-only deals, but in recent years that has become less of its chief sell.
These days, it’s highly unlikely you’ll find deals exclusively in stores or online.
So really, Cyber Monday is a day for retailers to push out any final deals and drop prices further on remaining stock.
It’s not impossible that we’ll see some fresh iPhone 13 deals surface online then, but if you see any offers that catch your eye during Black Friday itself, our advice is to buy them and not wait.
Apple itself doesn’t usually take part in Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but plenty of other retailers will be offering iPhone 13 deals.
What to expect from the iPhone 13 Black Friday sale 2023
Based on last year, we should see some fantastic deals on the iPhone 13, with an impressive range of lower-cost plans from various providers.
There will likely be contracts on handsets from across the range, including the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro.
So, it’s up to you which handset to go for and what sort of contract you’re looking for.
It’s best to plan all of that well ahead of time and take note of current prices, so you can quickly decide on Black Friday itself what you want to buy and which deal is right for you.
