Upgrading all of your devices at once can cost a fortune. But right now, at Verizon, new and existing customers on select Unlimited plans can get an A16 iPad or choose from the Apple Watch Series 11 , Series 10 , and SE 3 for free with the purchase of any iPhone -- no trade-in required. Bought separately, those devices would cost more than $2,000, so this is quite the deal.

For the service, you'll need to either purchase a new smartphone line on Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate plan , which is $50 a month with Auto Pay enabled for a single line, or on the Unlimited Plus plan , which is $40 a month with Auto Pay enabled for a single line. These prices will remain locked in for the next three years.

For the iPad and Apple Watch, you'll get them for free when paying for a new line for each on the Verizon Unlimited plan of your choosing. If you're an Android user, Verizon is offering a similar deal where you'll get either the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G tablet or Samsung Galaxy Watch8 for free with the purchase of any Samsung smartphone .

Verizon didn't make this deal easy to find on its deals page , but if you scroll down to the "Smartwatches, tablets, and bundles" section, you'll see both the Apple and Samsung bundle deal. To take advantage of this deal, you have to add both devices to your cart, and the Verizon website will automatically apply the discount for your free tablet or smartwatch. 

If you have a trade-in, you can save even more on your new iPhone or Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
