Well Apple fans, the week you’ve been waiting for is finally here and Apple is set to unveil its new 2018 iPhone lineup later this week. Whether or not you’re planning to upgrade to a new iPhone Xs model though, there’s still plenty to look forward to this week — like a ton of paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free! We’ve got seven apps in today’s roundup, but there’s no telling when these sales will end so grab them while you can.

This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional in-app purchases. Subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified as soon as these posts are published and you’ll avoid missing the sales we cover.
