Before you do commit, check out our guide to everything you need to know before you buy an iPhone 14 in Australia. Buying the iPhone 14 on a plan Buying an iPhone 14 outright Unsurprisingly, the new iPhone 14 (plus the iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max) are all set to launch on both 24-month and 36-month plans through a number of Australian mobile providers, including Optus, Telstra and Vodafone. The upside of this is that you’ll have plenty of options to choose from, but the downside is that it’s hard to know where to start. The cost of pairing this plan with the new iPhone 14 is going to vary based on the model you choose. Assuming that the baseline iPhone 14 is the model you’re after, you’re looking at $38.86 per month in handset fees on a 36 month plan. All told, this works out to a total $96.58 per month over 36 months. If you’d prefer a 24 month plan, you’re looking at $58.29 per month in handset fees and $115.87 overall. Paired with the cost of an iPhone 14, you’re looking at $38.86 per month in handset fees for a 36 month plan, $58.29 per month for a 24 month plan or $116.58 per month on a 12 month plan. Priced at $40 per month, Vodafone’s $40 Lite Plan includes 40GB of Max Speed data (for a limited time) and unlimited rollover data (capped at 2Mpbs) plus standard national calls and text. The unspoken downside here is that Vodafone’s 5G coverage is much smaller than that of Optus and Telstra. If you’re looking to pick up an iPhone 14 through Vodafone on a 36-month plan, you should expect to pay $38.86 per month for the device itself. Opting for a 24-month plan will cost you more at $58.29. Paired up with the $40 Lite Plan, you’re looking at either $78.86 per month on a 36 month plan or $92.75 per month on a 24-month plan. Here are a few promotions going around that those planning to buy one will want to keep in mind:
Telstra: Telstra customers who trade-in an eligible device can score up to $1000 in credit towards their the new iPhone 14. That works out to around $150 in bonus value on any given trade-in device. However, it is limited to eligible devices and you really are looking at giving up something like the iPhone 12 Pro Max if you want to get that full $1000 of credit. Optus: Optus haven’t announced any specific deals for the iPhone 14, but they are talking up their 5G Phone Price Match Guarantee and offering a discount of $20 on its 500GB Plus Promo Plan until the end of October. Vodafone: Vodafone is offering up to $1300 in trade-in value if you stash your old iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max or iPhone 12 Pro Max with them. Much like Telstra, the promotion here gets you $150 in additional trade-in value than you would have gotten otherwise. Australia’s third bigger carrier is also slashing the prices of their plans across the board, with the $65 Super+ Plan now available for $55 per month, the $55 Super Plan reduced to $50 per month and the $85 Ultra+ Plan cut down to $60 per month.
The standard Apple iPhone 14 starts at an RRP of $1,399 in Australia, while the larger iPhone 14 Max and the more powerful iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max command even higher prices. Even compared to Samsung’s Galaxy S22 lineup, Apple’s latest lot of iPhones are far from affordable. Relative to last year’s iPhone 13 roster, the iPhone 14 lineup is more expensive across the board. However, the size of that surcharge varies from model to model. Check out the table below for a full breakdown of pricing for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Plus will arrive a few weeks later, with an Aussie launch slated for 6 October, 2022.
