Vodafone has the cheapest iPhone plan around

Vodafone has the cheapest iPhone plan you can get right now, thanks to its deal on the iPhone 16e.

If you pick up a 128GB iPhone 16e on a Vodafone plan, you'll pay $66.75 per month on a 36-month term, with 100GB of data. For comparison, Optus is currently charging a minimum of $79.74 per month for its iPhone 16e plans, and those start with 50GB. Telstra's are even more expensive, starting at $92.75.

Here's how the cheapest iPhone 16e plans from these providers compare:

Vodafone's iPhone 16e plan is currently the cheapest iPhone plan we've seen available. At $66.75 per month, it's even more affordable than buying an older device like the iPhone 13 on a plan. For example, Optus is currently charging $76.40 per month for the iPhone 13 on a 36-month term.

Vodafone is also currently offering aggressive deals on all other iPhone 16 devices, which all currently have a $200 discount available on them. This works out to be a saving of $5.56 per month on a 36-month repayment term.
