The new iPhone 12 lineup arrived a bit later than usual this year, but all four phones are now available just in time for holiday shopping. But you might want to hurry: Delivery dates already slipping into the middle of December based on the model, so it's a good idea to start shopping around for deals right now. The new Apple lineup includes the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. All four are tremendous phones, bringing their own suite of features and capabilities, such as 5G connectivity, tougher screens and new camera tricks.
We've streamlined this story to highlight the top current deals from US carriers and retailers, including most of the early Black Friday promotions. That said, some of these are merely extensions of the offers that originally started when the first iPhone 12 models were released. As always, the deepest discounts generally require you to commit to a service contract, move a number to a new carrier or add a line to your existing service. And you can often amp up your savings by trading in old handsets, with recent models offering the best discounts.
We'll update this as more deals go live leading into Black Friday.
Four new iPhone 12s, four different prices. And not every iPhone will arrive at the same time.

Buying the new iPhone through a wireless carrier can have the added benefit of deals and promotions, but often the deals require you to switch carriers or add lines to your account.
You can get up to $700 off an iPhone 12, which amounts to a free iPhone 12 Mini when you add a line or upgrade an existing line of service, while on an unlimited plan and with an eligible trade-in. You can also get a free Apple Watch SE when you buy an Apple Watch SE and add a new line.
Verizon's offering a BOGO -- buy one, get one -- promotion for a free iPhone 12 Mini with the purchase of any iPhone 12 model. You'll need to add a new line to your account to take advantage of the up to $700 credit, which can b e applied to another iPhone 12 model if the Mini isn't your speed. You'll also need to sign up for or be on one of the Above, Beyond, Do Play or Get More unlimited plans.
New and existing customers can take advantage of several different offers during this time of year. New customers can get a free iPhone 12 or 12 Mini when porting in a number and trading in an eligible iPhone. On Nov. 25, existing customers can get an iPhone 12 Mini for free with an iPhone trade-in.
Other promotions include a buy one, gift one that allows you to gift an iPhone when you purchase an iPhone 12 or iPhone 11 with a new line of service. Want an Apple Watch? You can get two Apple Watch SEs with cellular for $10 a month when you activate them with a cellular plan.
Finally, T-Mobile has bundled two iPhone 12s and two Apple Watch SEs for $10 a month over 30 months with two eligible iPhone trade-ins and new lines of service for the phones and the watches.
New customers who port their number over to Xfinity Mobile will get $250 off an Apple device, while existing customers will get a $250 prepaid debit card.
When you buy any iPhone 12 model and port your number in from another carrier, you'll get a free pair of Bose headphones. In addition to the headphones, you'll get up to $200 via a MasterCard virtual account depending on which iPhone 12 model you buy. The Pro Max, for example, gets you that $200 credit. While an iPhone 12 Mini will net you a $50 credit.
Retailers
Sometimes big-box retailers like Best Buy or Walmart offer the best deals and promotions. If nothing else, they serve as a backup plan if you're looking to buy a phone and having a hard time finding one in stock.
Walmart is offering $200 off of any iPhone 12 model with activation on AT&T or Verizon. That deal can be combined with a trade-in that's worth up to another $250, netting you $450 off of any iPhone 12 model.
Best Buy's iPhone 12 promotions vary based on your wireless carrier. For example, AT&T customers can get up $800 worth of credits when trading-in a phone and adding a new line on an unlimited plan. Verizon and T-Mobile customers can save up to $440 with an eligible trade-in of an iPhone X or newer.
AT&T customers can get up to $50 off any iPhone 12 with an upgrade when you're on an Unlimited plan. In addition to the $50 credit, you can get another $700 off with a qualifying trade-in for a new line or upgrade.
Our original story continues below.
After weeks of waiting and anticipation, Apple's entire 2020 iPhone lineup -- the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max -- are finally available to buy in stores and preorders are arriving.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro were released in October, shortly after Apple announced the four new iPhone models. Those two phones are among CNET's highest-rated phones ever, thanks to the addition of 5G, several camera upgrades, MagSafe accessories and a new design. The 12 Mini and 12 Pro Max offer all of the same features, but in different sizes.
Apple has staggered iPhone releases in the past, but this is the first time we've seen different prices for specific models, based on whether you're buying it SIM-free from Apple or specific to a carrier. With so many models (here's how to tell them all apart) and different sale dates, this is certainly Apple's most confusing iPhone launch yet.
