Upgrade your handset and plan with the very best iPhone deals

Not many new phones make a splash like the iPhone.

The XS and XS Max recently took centre stage at Apple's big launch event in the U.S. Both models were available to pre-order from EE, Mobiles.co.uk, Direct Mobiles, Chitter Chatter, and other top retailers. While many are making a beeline for the latest XS, there are also plenty of reasons to go for the older iPhone models.

Whichever way you’ve gone, Mashable’s guide to the best iPhone deals in the UK has you covered. We have compared the best deals on multiple iPhone models, from the iPhone XS to the iPhone 7.

Apple iPhone XS Max

The release of the XS and the XS Max rightfully dominated the headlines in the tech world, but it was the XS Max that truly stole the show. Unlike the XS that made small improvements on the iPhone X, the iPhone XS Max is a very different animal. It’s pretty much the same overall size as the iPhone 8 Plus but is equipped with a significantly larger 6.5-inch OLED screen that pushes right out to the edges and looks so much cooler as a result. Not only that, the iPhone XS Max is fitted with the new A12 Bionic chip that has six-cores, with two ‘performance cores’ capable of up to 15% faster CPU power.

Apple iPhone X

At the time the iPhone X was released it came with an abundance of new features.

Apple iPhone 8

If the smaller 4.7-inch screen is just right for you, then consider the iPhone 8. The wireless charging is a big plus and the performance is strong. The glass back gives this handset the feel good factor and the camera is great at straightforward shots.

Apple iPhone 8 Plus

A very solid member of the iPhone selection, and makes clear and positive steps away from previous Plus models. OK so it doesn’t quite possess the wow factor that the iPhone X has, but it’s a good bet for the traditionalists who favour the standard home button. It’s got all the power of the iPhone X without the snazzy alterations, although the design is a little dated at this point. You’ll still get a much improved experience compared to the smaller iPhone 8.
