Best iPhone Deals for August 2024: Upgrade for less this summer
Whether you’re upgrading from an older iPhone and don’t want to spend too much or you’re making the leap from Android to iOS, there’s plenty of iPhone deals to suit all budgets.
It’s worth noting that it is all but confirmed that Apple will announce its upcoming iPhone 16 series next month. With this in mind, it’s perhaps unsurprising that August is known as one of the most difficult months to find a decent iPhone deal, with many advising against making the investment altogether until the new iPhone is revealed.
That’s not to say there aren’t deals to be found, with many retailers particularly keen to clear older models off of shelves to make space for the shiny new devices, resulting in hefty price cuts.
Even so, if you are especially keen on owning the most up to date iPhone then we’d recommend against investing in the iPhone 15 series now, as it’s only a matter of months before the next latest and greatest will be available, rendering the iPhone 15 as an older handset.
If, however, you aren’t fussed about holding out for the brand new iPhone then there are numerous bargains currently available across the existing iPhone ranges. For ease, we’ve compiled the best deals around into this handy list to save you the hassle of tracking them down yourself.
If you’re still not sure about upgrading to an iPhone then we’d recommend you visit our best Samsung Galaxy deals page, as we’ve discovered impressive bargains across even the latest Samsung handsets.
It’s not just smartphones you can upgrade for a bargain. We’ve also uncovered the current best Sky deals so you can upgrade your home entertainment for less this summer, plus we’ve tracked down the best air fryer deals so you can take the hassle out of mealtimes.
iPhone 15 Range Deals
If your budget is flexible then we definitely recommend picking up a phone from the iPhone 15 range, and not just because it’s the newest crop in Apple’s line-up. The 15 series feels like the first proper iPhone upgrade in years, with the Pro phones getting a super fast chip that makes them capable of playing triple-A games, while the entry level devices finally feature 48MP main cameras and the slick Dynamic Island. This is all before mentioning that these are the only iPhones out there that boast USB-C charging.

iPhone 14 Range Deals
The iPhone 14 makes for a great deal as it can be found for far less than its successor but still boasts flagship features. Although the iPhone 14 still uses the now outdated Lightning port, if you’re upgrading from an older iPhone then this shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Included throughout the range are impressive safety features including Crash Detection which uses the phone’s sensitive accelerometer to alert the emergency services after a collision and Emergency SOS.
The iPhone 14 is an undeniable bargain at this price
Mobiles.co.uk is currently offering a 128GB iPhone 14 for a mere £25.99 a month after an initial £69 upfront. A good price for a phone that still stands as being one of the best out there.

Content creation is a huge part of the iPhone 13 range, with all phones boasting Cinematic mode which allows the camera to record videos with a shallow depth of field for a cinema-grade feel. The iPhone 13 range is also the most recent to include a pint-sized Mini option so if you’re fed up with ferrying around large smartphones then this is the range to opt for.
