Get the Apple iPhone 14 Plus for $249.99

Must sign up for at least one month of Verizon Unlimited prepaid service ($60 per month)

Apple iPhone 14 Plus 256GB

The Apple iPhone 14 Plus, released in October 2022, is now two generations behind the latest model. However, it remains a highly relevant device, especially if you're not interested in Apple's latest AI features. It's set to receive software updates from Apple until at least 2027, and likely beyond. The Plus model boasts a large 6.7" Super Retina XDR OLED display, powered by the A15 Bionic chip with 6GB of RAM. It also features a 12MP dual-lens camera and supports 5G connectivity. The regular price for the 256GB model is $599.99, while the 512GB model is $699.99.

Verizon's Unlimited prepaid plan operates on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contract, allowing you to cancel at any time. It includes unlimited talk, text, and data for $60 monthly. After your first month, you have the option to switch to the 15GB plan, which offers talk, text, and 15GB of data for $35 per month with autopay, or $45 without. If you decide to leave Verizon, you can do so after 60 days (details below).

Can you unlock your phone? Yes, but only after 60 days.

Verizon automatically unlocks its phones after 60 days of service or activation. This means you can use Verizon's prepaid service for two months and then switch to a different carrier. Since Apple iPhones do not allow carrier-specific bloatware, you won't encounter software compatibility issues or conflicting apps when switching carriers. Additionally, the iPhone 14 Plus is an eSIM-only model, making carrier switches even simpler without the need for a physical SIM card.
