Apple today opened up orders for the AirTags and iPhone 12 in Purple, and now we're seeing a few carrier deals for the latest version of the iPhone. At places like AT&T and Verizon, you can save up to $700 on the new iPhone 12. T-Mobile is offering up to $830 off, but with a more limited scope of trade-in options.

Shoppers should note that delivery dates vary between each carrier. Check before you order to get an estimate of when the smartphone will ship, but most orders in the United States should arrive within the next week, and in-store pick-up is also available for most carriers.
