The bigger the purchase, the better it is to wait for the Black Friday deals to roll around. That makes this the perfect time to pick up that pricey handset you’ve had your eye on all year, and we’re anticipating some bumper offers this holiday season. There are likely to be record deals on the latest flagships from Samsung and OnePlus, while we also anticipate some of the first notable price drops on the stunning Google Pixel 9 range.

The only downside is that you’re unlikely to see unlocked models of the iPhone 16 on sale. Apple is famous for its thrift when it comes to discounting its latest devices, so even the biggest sales event of the year is very unlikely to bring savings on the iOS options.
