Verizon will give you an iPhone 16 Plus (or 4) with no trade-in – here’s how

I remember the times in my childhood when my brothers and I would come home begging to have a cellphone and sincerely hoping it was a swanky new iPhone. My mom cringed at the long receipt she would have to pay out. Luckily, Verizon is running a deal to set up your family or anyone needing a new phone and service plan.

When you open a line or multiple lines through myPlan at Verizon online, you can get up to four iPhone 16 Pros on Verizon. With this deal, no trade-in is required; you just need to open a new line corresponding with the iPhone, and you can get up to four, keeping everyone in the family happy. 

There are a few things to remember, like the extra fees associated with purchasing a new phone, such as sales tax. You will also be locked into a 36-month contract, and the phones will be paid out monthly through billing credits. The deal also only exists online, so you can’t get it in stores. This deal requires commitment, so I don’t blame you if it’s not worth the extra fuss. 

However, a new iPhone 16 Plus sure is. I have been using the Pro Max version for a few months, and having a bigger-sized phone in your hands makes a difference. Texts are easier to read, videos are easier to watch, and typing is a breeze.

There are other great things about the iPhone 16 Plus as well. If you happen to keep up with ZDNET and tech news, we reported that Apple’s new iOS 26 will be publicly available soon, thanks to our boots-on-the-ground reporters at WWDC. It includes many smooth upgrades to the native software. 

If you’re like me, smartphone color options can be exciting, especially because everything seems to be beige. Luckily, the iPhone 16 Plus has many vibrant and fun colors, like Ultramarine, Pink, White, Teal, and Black, so anyone can find a color that fits their personality. 

Lastly, the device’s camera has had some solid upgrades and would impress any demographic. It may not have the Pro’s camera functions, but it’s still as capable with a 48MP camera, photographic styles, and an upgraded 2x telephoto lens. You’ll take the best mirror selfies or even nature pictures with your smartphone; no fancy camera or attachment is needed.

How I rated this deal 

Many factors would make offers like these unsuitable for every audience. For example, you must pay all the taxes and fees associated with starting a myPlan and purchasing the phone. However, it is sweet that there is no trade-in required. You also have to remember that the deal only exists online. Considering all those factors, we gave this offer a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating. You can get up to 4 phones, but you’ll have to shell out funds for a brand new plan, or more, depending on what you choose.
