Buy an iPhone on a plan

Which iPhone model is best value for money?

Here's a brief run-down of recent iPhone models. For more information about any of these devices, follow the link to the full review.

iPhone 14

The iPhone 14 (RRP: $1,399) is an incremental upgrade over the iPhone 13, at best. Its the first iPhone to feature the exact same processor as its predecessor and has a very similar design, display and camera system.

You'll have to look to the more premium iPhone 14 Pro (RRP: $1,749) to enjoy the latest and greatest features, like the A16 Bionic Chip and a more improved camera system.

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 features a powerful camera and utilises the impressive A15 Bionic chip, but comes with a hefty starting RRP of $1,349. The bite-sized iPhone 13 mini also boasts a great camera and surprisingly solid performance. It features a more palatable RRP of $1,199.

The iPhone 13 Pro (RRP: $1,699) is enough of a performance upgrade to earn the inflated price. The Pro Max edition is larger and more powerful but goes for a truly mammoth RRP of $2,719.

You can think of the iPhone SE (2022) as the chipset of the iPhone 13 inside the body of the iPhone 8. Coming in at just $719, it was built to be excellent value.

iPhone 12

The iPhone 13 was widely considered a relatively minor upgrade from the iPhone 12, so the 12 holds up well in 2022 given Apple has dropped the RRP to $1,199. The iPhone 12 mini ($999) is also a solid option in 2022 despite mediocre battery life.

The iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max offer upgrades in cameras, battery life and display sizes compared to the iPhone 12 and are worth considering especially if you can get them at a deal.

iPhone 11

As you might expect, the iPhone 11 is a touch dated in 2022. It doesn't feature 5G and is missing some of the durability of later models. But with its RRP now sitting at just $849, it's a great-value option if you don't mind feeling a bit left behind.

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max outperform the base version in screen resolution and battery life and can be found for seriously reduced prices. Picking up one of these models is a creative way to enjoy excellent value in 2022.

iPhone shopping tips

Need some foolproof methods for getting great value on your iPhone purchase? Here are our top tips for iPhone deals.

• Don't go too far back in time: Purchasing an older iPhone model is an excellent way to save money. Just make sure you aren't buying a soon-to-be-obsolete device. You can see which devices support the latest iOS here. Once you're stuck on an old iOS, you'll soon run into plenty of issues, so we recommend staying ahead of the wave of obsolescence.
• Trade in: Many telcos offer a significant amount of credit for phones that are traded in for newer models, as does the Apple Store. You could get up to $1,000 taken off the price of a new phone.
• Take the refurbished tech plunge: Refurbished tech is cheaper and more sustainable. If you've been scared off from refurbished models in the past, iPhones are a great place to start because of Apple's reputation for delivering high-quality recycled products.
• Consider your storage needs: Purchasing a 64GB smartphone might seem overly thrifty, but in the age of cloud back-ups, it's perfectly suitable for a most consumers. See how much storage you're using on your current phone before splashing out on the highest-echelon model available.
