Apple's iPhone 15 is surprisingly affordable if you ditch your current network

Buying a new iPhone is never cheap with many of the UK's most popular networks wanting a hefty monthly fee to own one. EE, Three and Vodafone all charge around £60 per month for this latest device which means you'll pay almost £1,500 over a standard two-year deal. It's a lot of money but there is a way to reduce the cost to something much more affordable if you're happy to switch to another provider.

Mobiles.co.uk - which is part of the Currys group - is currently offering the iPhone 15 with 100GB of data for just £29.99 per month - that's around half the price of its rivals.

That means over the two years you'll only pay £719.76 to own it. Even when you add the £59 upfront cost, the total bill is just £778.76 which is far cheaper than most other deals on the market.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that this plan uses the ID Mobile network which is not as well known as more established providers such as O2 and EE.

For those not aware ID Mobile - which is also owned by Currys - uses the Three Mobile network to provide users with data. All contracts come with 5G as standard plus there's the usual unlimited calls and texts.

It's always worth checking how good the signal is in your area before switching to a new service but ID Mobile has recently won awards from Uswitch including Best Network for Data and Best Contract Value for Money. It also scores 4 out 5 on Trust Pilot with most users appearing happy - just remember, like all providers, the cost will go up each year so the price you pay now will increase slightly in 2025.

As a quick reminder, the iPhone 15 gets a fast A16 Bionic processor, a 6.1-inch Retina screen and improved battery life.

There's also USB-C charging which means one cable can now refill your iPhone as well as non-Apple devices such as Bluetooth headphones, portable speakers and Android phones.

Other features include a design made from tough Ceramic Shield glass, a dual-lens rear camera and, for the first time, the Dynamic Island notch which changes depending on the app you are using.

The iPhone 15 can also send SOS text messages into space and will call for help if you have an accident via Crash Detection.

Buying one directly from Apple costs £799 without any data, calls or texts which makes this deal from Mobiles.co.uk look even more attractive.
