Amazon's Big Spring Sale starts today. It's a major sales event where the e-commerce giant rolled out big discounts on electronics, particularly phones. Judging from what I've seen, this year's event will be one of the best times to upgrade from your old phone. So far, I've seen solid discounts on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Galaxy Z Fold7, and Pixel 10 Pro XL.
