What is the best iPhone for a student on a budget?

For most students, a CPO iPhone 12 (from ~$149) or iPhone 13 (from ~$199) at Plug offers the best balance of performance, camera quality, and price. Both support 5G, have OLED displays, and come with a 12-month warranty. Students needing professional-grade cameras may prefer the iPhone 14 Pro. (Verify current pricing before publishing)

Can students get a free iPhone at Plug?

Plug does not offer free iPhones, but CPO models start from $129.99 significantly less than new pricing. If you've seen offers for "free iPhones for students," these typically come through carrier trade-in promotions or educational institution programs. Plug's value proposition is quality CPO devices at 40–60% off new prices with a 12-month warranty.

Do student iPhones from Plug come unlocked and with a warranty?

Yes, every iPhone at Plug ships fully unlocked (works on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or any carrier) and includes a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns. No carrier restrictions.
