All of today’s best deals are now up for the taking as we head into the weekend, with a pre-paid iPhone SE 3 discount leading the way.

iPhone SE 3 sees launch day pre-paid discount

It’s iPhone SE 3 launch day and alongside all of the carriers getting in on the savings, Visible Wireless is offering a pre-paid promotion on the all-new handset. Right now, you can score the iPhone SE 3 64GB in all three colors with a $200 gift card of your choice for $429. You’ll need to port over a phone number, and then stay subscribed to the service for three months in order to lock in the sale. That’s the best option out there right now for those who don’t want to be locked into a two-year or more plan. 

Apple’s latest budget-friendly iPhone this time around arrives as the SE 3. Still sitting within the body of the iPhone 8, the refreshed handset has an updated array of components centered around the A15 Bionic chip. That enables plenty of firsts for the SE lineup, like all of the new photography functionality including photographic styles and Night modes on its dual 12MP camera with Deep Fusion. There’s still the Home Button design in lieu of Face ID, as well as a 4.7-inch LCD display that rests around it. You can get a better idea of what to expect from the handset right here. Learn more in our review impressions roundup from earlier in the week.
