America 250 Deals for July 4th: Discounted iPhones, $250 off TV, and More
Growing up, it felt like every car dealership and furniture store near me did a blowout sale each Fourth of July. Even though the times have changed, summer deals slinging really hasn’t—especially with the countdown to the America 250 celebrations happening later this week.
As CableTV.com’s resident deals hunter, I’ve narrowed down only the best deals for you to snag for the semiquincentennial week. Whether you’re looking for discounted 5G phones and iPads or cheap streaming bundles to catch all the historic America 250 programming, I’ve got you covered.
Xfinity’s giving you $250 off iPads
Searching for uber-discounted tech to keep the kids occupied this summer? Right now, Xfinity is offering a whopping $250 off the 11-inch iPad with the superfast A16 chip exclusively for new and existing Xfinity Mobile customers.
I can’t tell you for certain if the $250 off is in honor of the semiquincentennial or just a coincidence, but with the deal ending not long after the Fourth (on July 21), I wouldn’t be surprised.
Along with discounted iPads, Xfinity often offers totally no-cost phones—check out our guide to Xfinity free phones, plus our all-encompassing (Xfinity offers great internet and TV, too!) Xfinity deals page.
Optimum’s offering 5G phones for just $250
Whether you’re team Apple or Android, Optimum is dropping a huge 5G phone promo just in time for the fireworks. Qualified new or existing Optimum Mobile customers can choose from an iPhone 17e, iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, Samsung Galaxy A26, or Moto Razr 2025 for only $250 flat to celebrate America’s 250th.
That $250 price point is a steal, especially if you’re looking to upgrade the whole family’s tech before summer vacation kicks into high gear. Just make sure to grab the corresponding promo code from https://go.cabletv.com/aff_c?offer_id=2914&aff_id=1003 before checking out.
We’ve got more Optimum deals where that came from, too.
DISH’s $250 off TV deal
To celebrate the semiquincentennial, DISH is letting new customers save $250 when they sign up for DISH’s America’s Top 200 or America’s Top 250 plan.
DISH is leaning hard into the “250” theme. Instead of a one-time rebate, they’re taking $10 off your bill every month for 25 months. To lock in this discount, you’ll need to use the promo code DISH250 at checkout and sign up for either America’s Top 200 (which actually offers 240+ channels) or America’s Top 250 (290+ channels).

Snag free Paramount+ to watch July 4th festivities
If you want a front-row seat to the country’s historic 250th birthday bash, Paramount+‘s got you covered. The platform is streaming CBS’s live, three-hour concert block, The Great American Block Party 250, on July 4th.
The best—and cheapest—way to stream the July 4th festivities is to snag free Paramount+ (Essential plan) with a $12.95 a month (or $98 a year) Walmart+ membership. Double discounts for the win.

Get discounted Disney+ to stream “Disney Celebrates America”
Disney is celebrating America 250 the only way the mouse knows how to—BIG.
They’re pulling out all the stops for Disney’s company-wide “Disney Celebrates America” initiative, including a 24-hour cross-platform broadcast starting the evening of July 3rd that’ll span Disney+, Hulu, ABC, and more.
While Disney+ rarely slashes prices on standalone plans, the best holiday hack is to lock in a discounted bundle to watch the marathon on any app. You can grab the Disney+ and Hulu bundle right now for an extra discounted rate of $11.99 a month (half off the non-bundled rate of $24). Or, go all in with the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle for $35.99 a month—that’s savings of 33% each month.
