How to choose

By budget

Storage

Photos and video fill a phone faster than apps do. If you shoot a lot of 4K video or keep a phone for four years or more, go one storage step above the base model. The price of each storage option is on the model’s page.

Pro or not?

Choose a Pro model for the telephoto camera, the fastest chip and pro video formats. If you mostly message, browse, bank and take everyday photos, the standard iPhone does the job for much less.

Lower the price

Bank cashback, 6-month No Cost EMI, a trade-in top-up on your old phone and iPhone for Life can all reduce what you pay up front. See offers and exchange and EMI.
