iPhone SE Black Friday deals 2021: What to expect this November
THE iPhone SE has been well-received by smartphone users – an affordable Apple device with a premium feel and good performance.
Without doubt iPhone SE Black Friday deals will be on shopping lists this November, so here’s our tips for finding the best model, and offer, for you.
*Remember, just because an item is in the sale, it doesn’t mean you can’t find the same product, or similar, elsewhere. Always shop around to make sure you’re getting the best price.

When is Black Friday 2021?
This year Black Friday falls on Friday November 26. It is always the day after the American holiday Thanksgiving, which always falls on the fourth Thursday of November.
Sales of tech devices, specifically smartphones, started a couple of weeks before the date last year. So we could see some iPhone SE deals before Black Friday even arrives.
Although not impossible, Apple itself is unlikely to offer much in the way of discounts – the iPhone SE is already fairly affordable and highly sought after.
But we expect plenty of mobile retailers will be looking to offer the best iPhone SE Black Friday deals possible.
When is Cyber Monday 2021?
After Black Friday, the sales continue.
You’ll find discounts through the Cyber Weekend and Cyber Monday, which is on Monday, November 29, this year.
Mobile retailers tend to keep sales on through the weekend and Cyber Monday, and occasionally, there are new discounts announced just for Cyber Monday itself.
What to expect from iPhone retailers on Black Friday 2021
Deals and prices change quickly across Black Friday, so there’s no definite best retailer when it comes to sales.
While Amazon tends to offer competitive SIM-free prices, the likes of Carphone Warehouse, Mobiles.co.uk and Affordable Mobiles are options for contract deals, so it’s worth checking them all out this November to find the best offer.
For more affordable iPhone SE Black Friday deals, the likes of E2Save and iDMobile are also worth keeping an eye on.
We’ll bring you the latest information on 2021 Black Friday deals as soon as we have it!

Will there be any SIM-free iPhone SE Black Friday deals in 2021?
Based on past years, we’d expect there will be some decent SIM-free iPhone SE deals around Black Friday.
In 2020, in the lead-up to the sales day, you could buy an iPhone SE at £399 at Currys PC World and at Amazon. But you could find even lower prices this year on Black Friday itself.
The most affordable iPhone will likely see some strong deals
Is the new iPhone SE worth buying in 2021?
The short answer is yes. If you’re after a new iPhone, but don’t want to spend more than £600, then the punchy and affordable iPhone SE is the best option.
That’s also true if you want to save on your monthly outgoings with a contract deal.
The SE offers a compact but high-quality 4.7-inch display, uses the latest A13 bionic processor, is splash water and dust-resistant – and it offers a capable camera set-up.
