The best iPhone X deals: How to get a cheap iPhone X (well, cheaper)

Reports suggest the iPhone X hasn’t been selling as well as Apple may have liked and we’ve already seen a number of retailers – albeit not Apple itself – drop the price of the flagship handset to shift more models.

The most recent retailer to do so is Carphone Warehouse, which is offering a SIM-free iPhone X for £959, down from £999. Granted it’s a small reduction, but it is a reduction nonetheless. Below we’ve picked through numerous other sites to track down the best iPhone X UK deals. Here are our picks.

iPhone X UK deals: Carphone Warehouse

The Carphone Warehouse aggregates a selection of deals from all the major networks, including some that you won’t find on their own sites. There’s typically an upfront cost involved, and you’re looking at putting down at least £64.99, no matter which iPhone X deal you get.

You can additionally get an iPhone X on contract with an upfront cost of £919 on Vodafone. This contract will cost you £15.50 for a month’s contract (taking the total cost to £934) and for that you get 500MB, 500 minutes and unlimited texts.

iPhone X UK deals: Mobiles.co.uk

Mobiles.co.uk also demands an upfront cost for all of their deals. The cheapest requires a down payment of £350, and then 24 monthly instalments of £49, bringing it to a grand total of £1,526. For that, you’re getting 5GB of data per month, courtesy of O2. iphone_x_uk_deals_-_1

iPhone X UK deals: Unshackled.com

If you’re determined to pay nothing upfront for the phone, then Unshackled.com is a good bet. The company lets you split the £999 cost of the handset down into 24 equal payments of £45.77 – which comes to a total of £1,098.48. True, you then have to take care of your own phone contract, but you can get a 4GB 12-month SIM deal from Three for £9 per month, meaning it’s £1,314.48 in total – which is pretty hard to beat.

iPhone X UK deals: Virgin Mobile

If you want no upfront cost, but don’t want the hassle of sorting out your own contract on top of the phone, Virgin Mobile has your back. For £55 per month, you can get a deal consisting of 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 1.2GB of monthly data, for a total price of £1,320 over 24 months. If 1.2GB data sounds stingy, you can bump it up to 5GB for an extra £3 per month, for a total of £1,392.
