iPhone pricing is rarely ‘cheap’ – but depending on your choice of provider and plan, you can find ways to pay less each month for your brand new device. Most iPhone plans currently begin from around the $90-$100 per month mark for both your mobile plan and phone payment, but prices will vary due to your choice of device repayment term.

Looking for the iPhone 11 series on a plan from Vodafone? Pre orders for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max go live 10pm AEST 13 September, 2019. The iPhone 11 series will be available to buy from 20 September, 2019.
Vodafone customers can choose from the 2018 iPhone models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, along with the older iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus phones. These devices are available on Vodafone’s phone repayment plans, with your choice of contract length over 12, 24 or 36 months.
Once you’ve selected your device, you’ll be required to add on a postpaid plan. These plans are separate to your device repayments and they are month-to-month plans. This means you can switch your plan to another of the month-to-month plans, however cancelling will require you to pay off the remaining cost of your handset.

Like Vodafone, Telstra offers a great selection of Apple devices including the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and a few older devices are still available including the iPhone X and iPhone 8.
Telstra also allows you to separate your iPhone payments from your plan. You’ll be able to choose between a 24 or 36-payment period for your new device and then bundle with one of the four month-to-month plans on offer. Technically you’re not locked into a contract on these plans, however cancelling altogether will require you to pay off the remainder of your handset.

Like Telstra and Vodafone, Optus stocks the latest devices including the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. It also stocks a range of older iPhone models, including the iPhone X and iPhone 8. If you’re considering picking up a new iPhone from Optus, you can buy your device on a regular two-year mobile contract (after which the iPhone is yours to keep).
The following table shows a range of Optus 64GB iPhone XR, XS and XS Max plans from Canstar Blue’s database, listed in order of cost, from the lowest to highest and then by data allowance, smallest to largest.
If you’re concerned about excess data charges, Vodafone and Telstra now provide ‘unlimited’ data plans for postpaid customers. Most of these plans include an allowance of high-speed 4G data each month, plus unlimited slower data (capped to 1.5Mbps).
Vodafone customers can pick from the $55 Red Plus Plan with 90GB of high-speed data or the $65 Red Plus Plan with 125GB of high-speed data. If you’re with Telstra, the telco has eliminated excess data charges from its four postpaid plans. Once you’ve used up your data inclusion, you’ll be able to continue using your data but at a capped speed of 1.5Mbps, which is still fast enough for standard-definition video streaming.

With both Telstra and Optus scrapping their respective 24-month lease plans, Australians no longer have the option of ‘renting’ an iPhone from their mobile provider. Instead, you can buy your phone outright, or on a device payment plan from any of the above telcos (Telstra, Vodafone, or Optus).
Payment plans are available on 12, 24, or 36-month contracts, depending on your choice of provider. Regardless of which plan you opt for, your phone will be yours to keep at the end of your contract (or once you’ve made all repayments).
Depending on your choice of telco and plan, you can score some great extras and inclusions to go with your new iPhone.
Apple’s newest iPhone series, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max will be available to pre-order from 10pm AEST, 13 September, 2019. If you’d prefer not to pre-order, you won’t have to wait long with the iPhone 11 release date on 20 September, 2019. You’ll be able to pick up the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max from retailers and on a phone plan from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
