The best iPhone deals this month

You don’t have to pay full price to buy an iPhone; if you shop around you can find a bargain. Every month the Macworld team hunts down the best prices on iPhones at all major retailers and cellphone operators, saving you the hassle of finding the best iPhone deals.

In this article, we reveal the best iPhone deals, contracts, and bundles available right now. We’ll help you find a discounted iPhone suitable for any budget, and cover all the currently available models, including the brand-new iPhone 16e, as well as the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, and 2023’s iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. We also have the best prices for older iPhones, including models that Apple has removed from sale, but which you can still buy elsewhere.

The iPhone 16e is the latest iPhone to arrive, launching in February 2025 and joining the iPhone 16-series, which debuted in September 2024. Later this year we expect Apple to launch the iPhone 17-series.

Best iPhone deals right now

U.S.

U.K.

In the U.K., Apple-certified resellers discount unlocked iPhones frequently. Look for money off at Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, and Very. For example, Amazon has £70 off the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

It’s possible to find small discounts on on the 16-series iPhones. Since the iPhone 14 and iPhone SE have now been discontinued you can expect to see a few deals as resellers start to clear out stock. You may also find discounts on older models such as the discontinued iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro. For example, there’s £450 off the iPhone 15 Pro Max at Argos!

• Amazon, iPhone 16, 256GB, £849 (£50 off, RRP £899)
• Amazon, iPhone 16 Plus, 128GB, £849 (£50 off, RRP £899)
• AO.com, iPhone 16 Pro, 128GB, £949 (£50 off, RRP £999)
• Amazon, iPhone 16 Pro Max, 256GB, £1,129 (£70 off, RRP £1,199)
• Amazon, iPhone 15, 128GB, £639 (£60 off, RRP now £699)
• Amazon, iPhone 15 Plus, 128GB, £749 (£50 off, RRP now £799)
• Argos, iPhone 15 Pro, 1TB, £1,049 (£130 off, RRP was £1,299 – Clearance)
• Argos, iPhone 15 Pro Max, 256GB, £749 (£450 off, RRP was £1,199 – Clearance)

For models that Apple no longer sells, bear in mind that we can only compare current prices against RRPs from before their discontinuation. It’s reasonable to assume that the price of the iPhone 15 Pro, for example, would have dropped in September 2024 if Apple hadn’t stopped selling it. There’s more information in the individual sections below.

Where to buy an iPhone

Apple is the obvious place to look for a new iPhone. You can purchase directly from Apple’s online store (there’s a separate U.K. store), which won’t give you savings, but does at least allow you to take advantage of trading in your old iPhone (see: How to sell or trade-in your old iPhone). We also have a complete guide to every iPhone Apple sells.

Alternatively, Amazon U.K. regularly discounts iPhone models, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out there. If you think you’ll be doing lots of Amazon shopping, we’d recommend signing up to the 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime for free next-day delivery and access to deals 30 minutes early. You can sign up here.

Amazon U.S. doesn’t always sell iPhones, and when it does it is usually in conjunction with one of the carriers. Some times we see Amazon savings on SIM-free iPhones. Amazon tends to sell refurbished iPhones in the U.S.

It’s worth checking the price of the iPhones in the following U.S. stores, which occasionally provide solid savings:

And U.K. readers should try these shops:

In addition, we recommend you check out our automatically updated price tables, embedded below, which gather the best prices from a wide range of retailers in your region.

Where to buy an iPhone on contract

Most of the major networks will offer the iPhone at a discount if you meet certain conditions (usually opening new lines, or buying on multi-year installment plans). Here are links to browse the latest deals:

U.K. readers can browse contract deals using the tool embedded below. Click ‘Choose Smartphone’ to register which model you’re interested in.

If you’d like to research deals for yourself, try the following U.K. providers:

Trade-in discounts

Don’t forget you can save when you trade in your old qualifying phone with Apple or other retailers participating in a trade-in program.

Apple offers up to hundreds of dollars off your new iPhone when you trade in your old iPhone (but if your phone is older, you’ll likely get much less). You’ll have to select the trade-in option during purchase and answer a few questions about your existing phone model, storage capacity and condition. You’ll need to provide your IMEI number as well. Read about Apple’s Trade In scheme in the U.S. and U.K.

In the U.K. you could get even more money off if you trade-in via Currys PC World. Head to Currys to see how much your device is worth.

Amazon also offers some good trade-in values, so you should see if you can get more there. Check out Amazon’s Trade In program in the U.S. U.K. readers can see how Amazon trade-in process works here.

Apple reseller KRCS also offers a trade-in scheme.

Note that you can save money if you’ve got another iPhone to trade in, see: How to sell or trade in your old iPhone.

Deals on older/discontinued iPhones

When Apple introduced the iPhone 16e it stopped selling the iPhone 14, 14 Plus and iPhone SE. When it introduced the iPhone 16 range it discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. When Apple introduced the iPhone 15 range it discontinued the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and so on… When Apple stops selling older iPhones in its store, however, that doesn’t mean they have disappeared entirely; you may find them in Apple’s refurbished store, for example. You may also find older handsets on sale at third-party stores and Apple resellers.

Take a look at our round up of deals for the following discontinued iPhones:

iPhone Refurbished deals

If you want to save even more money you may want to consider buying a refurbished iPhone. Refurbished devices are thoroughly tested and repaired to work and look just like new. In the case of official Apple refurbished iPhones, you get a brand-new body and screen, box, accessories, battery, and warranty. It’s almost indistinguishable from buying a new iPhone.

See our full guide to buying refurbished or second-hand iPhones for more.

The first place to shop for a refurbished iPhone is at the Apple Refurbished Store. It will be a while before Apple offers refurbished iPhone 16 models for sale—they usually start showing up when the next model is released. Rest assured, the Apple Refurbished Store is where you can get the highest quality of refurbished iPhones.

Apple’s not the only reseller to sell refurbished iPhones. You could also check the following stockists.
