You can still buy an iPhone 15 for one cent after Prime Day - here's how the deal works

It might be one of those 'too good to be true' deals for most users, but for the right customer, the one-cent iPhone 15 dream can be realized.

Buying the best iPhone on the market for a penny is a no-brainer for anyone, but digging into the offer details shows that you must meet two other qualifications to reap the benefits: The wireless plan that you have to sign up for, which gets more expensive as you pick a more premium iPhone 15 model, is how the carrier makes its money back. In fact, if you're already under a monthly data plan that costs roughly the same (if not more), your existing handset has been paid off, and you're ready to try a new (and possibly better) mobile service, this deal is not as bad as it seems.
