Looking to buy a new iPhone XS? We’ve collected the best iPhone XS deals across low and high data contracts, and even SIM free handsets.
With this being an ‘s’ year for the iPhone range (incremental updates as opposed to a full-blown shift in design), the iPhone XS will no doubt be a hard sell for some, particularly with the cheaper iPhone XR just around the corner. That being said, any fans of the iPhone X will be more than happy to know that the iPhone XS is a worthy successor that takes everything you loved and somehow improves upon it.
Anyone who watched the iPhone XS reveal livestream will know that the major improvements to smartphone are the inclusion of a new A12 Bionic Chip for silky smooth processing, and a new sensor for the camera (with a 7 megapixel front-facing camera for perfecting your selfie game).
Of course, if you want to be among the first wave of trendsetters then buying a iPhone XS outright will set you back a fair amount of money. At its cheapest, the iPhone XS goes for £999, moving all the way up to £1349. With those kinds of numbers flying around, it makes a lot more sense to spread the cost with a contract.
To save you from the hard slog of having to find those contracts yourself, we’ve put together this handy list of iPhone XS deals, ranging from low to high data contracts and also where you can the best price for a SIM-free handset, if that’s your preferred option.
If low-data SIMs are more your style, or even if you just want to save a bit of extra money on your iPhone XS contract, these deals are you.

Here’s a question that with determine which plan you go with more than any other. Higher data contracts will take a toll on the price you pay either upfront or on a monthly basis, but whichever it is, the surplus will be there. Luckily for most of us however, if you’re a casual social media user (like myself), then there’s no need to worry about consuming too much data.
Social media platforms have been optimised to consume very low amounts of data, meaning that you’ll be perfectly content with a monthly allowance of between 4-8GB. If you’re the type of person to go one step beyond (watching Netflix during work meetings totally counts) then you’ll need something in the 20-40GB range.
