Compare iPhone 15 plans

We've included the base models for the iPhone 15 in our table but you can use the filters to find the right handset for your budget and needs.

How much does the iPhone 15 cost?

Prices for the iPhone 15 line-up start at:

  • $1,499 for iPhone 15
  • $1,649 for iPhone 15 Plus
  • $1,849 for iPhone 15 Pro
  • $2,199 for iPhone 15 Pro Max

Apple unveiled its next-generation tech at its hotly anticipated event on 13 September 2023, announcing it was finally ditching the Lightning cable in favour of the USB-C.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus now get the Dynamic Display Island, A16 Bionic chip and 48 megapixel main cameras. The iPhone 15 Pro models will boast titanium for a durable and light finish, camera upgrades and A17 Pro, which Apple claims to be its fastest smartphone chip to date.

And yes, you can still slot in a SIM card as you normally would - Apple hasn't ditched it in Australia just yet.

Vodafone iPhone 15 plans

Vodafone doesn't have any special deals on its iPhone 15 range this month, but you'll get the standard inclusion available across its plans which is:

  • 3 months of free Apple TV+ and 3 months of BINGE.

On a Vodafone plan, you'll also get:

  • Unlimited international texts

Optus iPhone 15 plans

No specific deal on iPhone 15 from Optus this month, but you can get its Promo Plan with any iPhone 15 handset for $69 a month for the first 12 months, then $79 after.

Optus's iPhone 15 offer is a good one depending on which phone you currently have:

  • Get yourself a Mastercard digital gift card if you have when you trade in a phone in good working condition . This can be used across selected stores on The Card Network's website.

Signing up to an Optus plan will also give you access to:

With a Telstra mobile plan, you can expect:

  • 5G network access if it's available in your area

When is the iPhone 15 available to purchase in Australia?

The iPhone 15 line-up is officially on sale and available to be dispatched as of 22 September 2023.

If you're in the market for a new phone, the launch or official sale period is usually a great time to take advantage of any offers and get more bang for buck.

What is the best iPhone 15 plan in Australia?

The best iPhone 15 plan will depend on your budget and requirements.

Keeping trade-in offers aside, Vodafone's iPhone 15 plans are the cheapest. However, its network coverage can be a bit lacking especially for those in rural or regional Australia.

Optus offers mid-range coverage and mid-range pricing but you do get a sweet discount on Optus Sport.

Telstra comes out as the most expensive but offers the best network coverage out of the lot. This can be important given you'll be signed up with any of the providers for 12-, 24- or 36 months.
