Best iPhone deals for August

Today's best iPhone offer:

We compared the deals across the different iPhone models, networks and plans. Offers change every few days, weeks and months.

iPhone X deals

The iPhone X - pronounced 'ten', by the way - is the most innovative iPhone we've seen in years. It sports a stunning edge-to-edge AMOLED screen, facial recognition tech, and some ultra speedy processors… but it isn't cheap to buy outright.

We recommend a pay-monthly contract deal to make the cost of this amazing phone more manageable. A plan with a chunky data allowance will give you plenty of scope to use it as much as you want.

iPhone 8 deals

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, rocking features like wireless charging and iOS 11. Both phones are available with either 64GB or 256GB capacities. Check our our pick of the best iPhone 8 64GB deals below:

iPhone 7 deals

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were released in September 2016. Thanks to an improved design, these iPhones that are water resistant, and they've got better cameras than their predecessors. Deal-wise, you'll want a plan with plenty of data so you don't have to hold back on using this wonderful phone.

Best iPhone 6S deals today

iPhone 6s Plus:

These deals are great because not only do you get lots of data, you'll also get unlimited calls and texts, so you can talk all month to your heart's content. The upfront costs aren't high, and even the monthly costs are reasonable considering you'll be getting the latest iPhone with tons of data.

iPhone 6s on a low monthly cost

To get a lower monthly cost on an iPhone, you may have to compromise on your monthly allowance. The amount of data and calls offered here, however, isn't bad at all - well worth it, in our opinion.

Cheapest way to get an iPhone

OK, so you fancy an iPhone deal but don't like the hefty price tag and large monthly costs. The cheapest way you can get an iPhone today without spending a few hundred quid upfront is to go for a pay monthly contract deal on the iPhone 6S.

If you think you'll be using a lot of internet data then we suggest that you go for an unlimited data plan with Three. If you have a 4G-compatible phone - the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8 or 8 plus - you'll be able to use 4G, and you can use your plan abroad in any of Three's Feel At Home destinations at no extra cost too.

We recommend going for the iPhone 6S because its processor copes extremely well with the pressures of non-stop downloading, uploading, browsing and streaming at a nice low price.

Best iPhone SE deals

The brilliant thing about the iPhone SE is that it's essentially got the guts and specs of an iPhone 6 in the body of a 5 - and an old-style, smaller phone means it's a lot cheaper than a flagship. It's got the latest processor, a 12MP camera, and decent battery life, all in the nice four-inch frame. The best deal on an iPhone SE is one that keeps costs down but gives you enough allowance to put those specs to work - like this one.

Which iPhone to choose?

Not sure whether it's worth spending a bit more for an iPhone 8 than the old iPhone 7? If you what an iPhone but don't know exactly which model you want, take a look at the table below to compare the main features.

The newest iPhones are the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus. Whilst the basic specifications don't look too different from one iPhone to another, there are some significant differences between the very latest models and the older versions. As well as a longer battery life, improved camera, better screens and processors, there are some other functions that only come with certain models:

Waterproof: Only the iPhone X, 8, 8 Plus, 7, and 7 Plus are resistant to water and dust. With any other iPhone, you'll need to be a little more careful.

Wireless charging: A brand new feature that you'll only find on the iPhone X, 8, or 8 Plus.

Headphone jack: If you want a standard headphone jack on your iPhone, you'll need an older model - the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus or older.

True tone flash: Most people turn off the flash when taking pictures these days. The standard LED flash leaves an unnatural glare. The iPhone 6 and above come with a flash that's a little more pleasing to the eye.

3D Touch: This is a fairly new piece of touchscreen tech that Apple introduced in its iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Touching the display with different levels of pressure performs different actions, giving the default iOS apps better functionality.
