Vodafone has the cheapest iPhone plan around

Alex Choros - Managing Editor + Group Telco Editor

Last updated 10 March 2025

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.
