Apple's iPhone 15 lineup is available to order on a plan and all 3 telcos are offering something a little bit different to entice you to sign up.

How much does the iPhone 15 cost?

$1,499 for iPhone 15
$1,649 for iPhone 15 Plus
$1,849 for iPhone 15 Pro

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:
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:
You can get a new phone early or upgrade a damaged device with Optus's Upgrade and Protect for $0 per month included when you buy a device on a 12, 24 or 36 month payment term with the Promo Plan. Offer ends on 2 December 2024.
Signing up to an Optus plan will also give you access to:
Bonus 3 months of Amazon Prime worth $29.97
Optus Sport at a discounted price. You'll pay $9.99 per month instead of the usual $24.99
Its 5G network if it's available in your area
Endless data. Your speeds will be capped at 1.5Mbps once you've chewed through your data allowance

Up to 10% in savings when you bundle 3 or more subscriptions via Optus SubHub
Telstra iPhone 15 plans

No excess data charges. Your speeds will be capped at 1.5Mbps once you've used up your data allowance

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.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
