How to get iPhone 15 cheaper with these student hacks
Calling all budget-conscious students. The iPhone 15 might be calling your name, but that price tag can feel like a final exam you haven’t studied for. Don’t worry because we’ve got your back with a breakdown of how you can snag your dream phone.
Contracts
Let’s be real, “free” phones are tempting. Carriers love students (because hello, long-term contracts!), so they often dangle these deals with new lines. But hold on a sec. These ‘freebies’ usually come with hefty monthly plans and contracts that could last longer than your summer break romance. Do the math! Make sure “free” truly translates to long-term savings before signing on the dotted line.
Trade-In
Remember that old phone gathering dust? Don’t let it become a tech fossil! Many carriers and retailers offer trade-in programs, where your old phone can be transformed into a sweet discount on a brand-new iPhone 15. But remember, the trade-in value depends on its condition. So, if yours hasn’t doubled as a frisbee, you might be surprised by the amount you can get.
iPhone 15 Student Deals
Here’s a secret weapon: student discounts on iPhones! Apple itself has a back-to-school program that could offer a discount or free accessories. Don’t be shy – check with your school or local stores to see if they have student deals waiting for you.
Before diving headfirst into the first deal you see, become a research ninja! Compare prices across carriers and retailers. Factor in monthly plan costs – do you really need all that extra storage? Be honest about your needs and choose a plan that fits your budget.
You did it – the iPhone 15 is yours! But before you unleash your inner selfie queen, remember: fight buyer’s remorse! Don’t get swept up in the hype and end up with a phone that breaks the bank. Use that fancy camera to capture life’s adventures, not your credit card debt.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
