iPhone 11, Pro, and Pro Max prices:
iPhone 11: RRP of £729
Despite being the cheapest of Apple's three newest devices with an RRP of £729, the iPhone 11 is still one of the pricier iPhones out there.

iPhone 11 Pro: RRP of £1049
The middle brother of Apple's latest trio, the iPhone 11 Pro costs a whopping £1049 for the cheapest model and goes up with more storage. This puts the price of the iPhone 11 Pro considerably higher than the iPhone 11 despite being smaller and not a huge improvement, except for the addition of an extra camera lens.

iPhone 11 Pro Max: RRP of £1149
One of Apple's most expensive handset ever made, the iPhone 11 Pro Max starts at £1149, battling the Galaxy S20 Ultra for most expensive consumer handset on the market.

iPhone X, XR, iPhone XS and XS Max prices:
iPhone X: RRP of £999

iPhone XR: RRP of £729
One of Apple's most popular handsets in its long history, the iPhone XR cost £749 on launch. However, you can now often get it for a lot less than that.

iPhone XS: RRP of £1149
Not quite as expensive as the iPhone XS Max but still one of Apple's most costly handsets. The iPhone XS launched at a price of £1149 and has dropped massively since then. Now you can find it at prices around the £629 mark.

iPhone XS Max: RRP of £1249
No longer Apple's newest handset but when it launched, the iPhone XS Max was ground-breaking...in its expense.

iPhone 8 and 8 Plus prices:
iPhone 8: RRP of £669

Get from: Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, Very or Argos
iPhone 8 Plus: RRP of £799
The iPhone 8 Plus isn't hugely more expensive than the smaller, regular iPhone 8, coming in at a total spend of £799. However, like many of the other older iPhones available, this price has now drastically fallen and you are more likely to pay around £579 or less from most big name retailers.

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus prices:
iPhone 7: RRP of £449
Apple's iPhone 7 is now a good few years behind the latest devices from Apple which is great news for its price tag. While it started at £449, it can now be bought for around the £299 mark, making it an exceptionally cheap phone these days. Go refurbished and it gets even cheaper than that.

What are the iPhone prices like straight from Apple?
Unfortunately, Apple rarely has the cheapest iPhone prices around, often in fact being one of the most costly places to look. However, this doesn't mean Apple is never worth checking.
Occasionally they will put out a strong offer or promotion, usually on newer iPhones which you can score a bargain from. And, like many other retailers, Apple offers both refurbished and pay monthly schemes.
