The best iPhone 13 mini deals for October 2021
Jump to:
This week's iPhone 13 mini deals are perfect if you're looking for that brand new Apple flagship but want something a little more palm-friendly. Better still, even though it's every bit as powerful as its bigger siblings, the iPhone 13 mini is pretty much cheaper across the board - especially if you want an unlocked device. This week's iPhone 13 mini deals also include a ton of good options for a free device from AT&T, Verizon, and other leading carriers.
Launching at a (relatively) low price of $699 makes the iPhone 13 mini the cheapest device out of the four new 13-series flagships. Don't discount it though - the inclusion of the latest Apple A15 Bionic processor makes it every bit as powerful as its bigger siblings. New camera upgrades and an upgraded, brighter screen means you're getting plenty of tech under the hood here - even if the overall aesthetic of the device is relatively unchanged from the previous iPhone 12 Mini.
As always with high-end flagship devices, the best iPhone 13 mini deals will generally always revolve around trading in older devices. Apple, Verizon, and AT&T all have options (or will have options soon) for free devices, so this is definitely the way to go if this isn't your first Apple device. If it is, however, then you may want to consider checking out Visible's freebies just down below - available to all new customers who switch over from another carrier.
If you'd like to read a bit more about this new device, just below our roundup of this week's best iPhone 13 mini deals we've included a mini-review. You'll also find a full specs breakdown too, just in case you wanted to see how this small but mighty device measured up to the competition.

iPhone 13 mini deals
Apple iPhone 13 mini: save up to $700 with trade-in, plus $500 with a switch at VerizonVerizon's iPhone 13 mini deals are probably the frontrunner when it comes to carrier value this week - although they aren't quite as good as at launch. Trade-in an eligible device and pick up a 13 mini with a new unlimited plan and you'll potentially get one for free. Note - you need a new line here to be eligible, although upgraders can still get up to $440 off with a trade. New customers will also get a $500 gift card in addition if they switch over from another carrier.
Total cost: $0 (w/ trade) | Monthly cost: $0 (24 mo)
Apple iPhone 13 mini: save $700 with trade-in and new unlimited plan at AT&TAT&T's also offering free devices with eligible trade-ins this week with its current lineup of iPhone 13 mini deals. Again, you'll need an unlimited data plan here to be eligible for this deal but it's a great option nonetheless. Because this device has lower cost than the other devices in the iPhone 13 range it's much easier to score this one for free.
Total cost: $0 | Monthly cost: $0 (30 mo)
Apple iPhone 13 mini: $699 free with eligible trade-in at AppleApple's introductory deals for the iPhone 13 mini are fantastic. While there's no upfront saving (as is usual with this retailer), there are very decent trade-in options overall. In fact, the maximum saving of up to $790 is the highest we've seen yet from the retailer. Trade-in an iPhone 12 mini that's in good shape and you'll get up to $400 off your new device - not bad at all.
Total cost: $0 (maximum saving)
Apple iPhone 13 mini (AT&T): $100 off bonus, plus up to $600 off with a trade-in at WalmartWalmart's carried over its nifty $100 pre-order bonus to its live iPhone 13 mini deals this week - essentially offering a nice discount regardless of whether you're trading or not. If you are trading, then there's also plenty of additional savings up for grabs too. Note, from what we can see this is available with AT&T carrier devices only, although the retailer does also stock other networks too.
Total cost: $0 (AT&T)
Apple iPhone 13 mini: $200 gift card, plus free HomePod Mini with switch at VisibleVisible's cheap unlimited 5G data plans could be a very good pairing with this device, and, thankfully, it's also offering its own set of iPhone 13 mini deals on launch too. Up for grabs is a $200 online gift card to spend pretty much anywhere and a free HomePod Mini smart speaker. Put together, that's not a small freebie by any stretch of the imagination but note - this is for new customers only.
Total cost: $699
Apple iPhone 13 mini: $300 off with switch at Xfinity MobileAnother good option for prepaid iPhone 13 mini deals can be found over at Xfinity Mobile this week. Port your number in from another carrier and buy a device at the Xfinity store and you'll get a whopping $300 off your device installments (over 24 months). With a range of excellent cheap prepaid plans, this is a good option if you're looking to save on the entirety of your phone usage.
iPhone 13 mini deals: what you need to know
OS: iOS 15 | Screen size: 5.4-inch Retina (60Hz)| Resolution: 2340 x 1080 | CPU: Apple A15| Memory: N/A | Weight: 141g |Storage: 128 / 256 / 512GB | Battery: N/A | Rear camera: 12MP wide, 12MP ultrawide| Front camera: 12MP
The iPhone 13 mini is the second generation 'palm-friendly' flagship from Apple and comes in at a rather wallet-pleasing $699 at launch. That's the same as last year's iPhone 12 Mini and makes this one easily the cheapest out of the four new 2021 devices from Apple.
Don't discount it though - even though it's cheaper (and slightly smaller), it's still rocking all those latest improvements under the hood. Specifically, a new A15 Bionic chip, upgraded camera sensors, and brighter OLED display mean you're easily getting one of the most powerful devices on the market here.
On the outside, the iPhone 13 Mmni looks quite similar to last year's iteration. Small changes to the rear camera housing (now diagonally placed) and front camera housing (20% smaller) are key differences but otherwise, it's business as usual with its squared-off edges. As stated, it's inside that counts with the 13 Mini - both with a new chip and a new screen, plus, with a beefier battery too.
As a slightly more niche device, the biggest competition for the iPhone 13 Mini is unsurprisingly going to be last year's iPhone 12 mini. Both are 5G devices and the 12 mini is now retailing for an eye-catching $599 since the launch of the 13 mini. If you're looking to save a bit of cash and willing to forgo some bells and whistles, then it could be well worth going for the older device here.
