Best iPhone 6 deals
Apple's iPhone 6 has, as silly as it may sound, revitalised Apple's smartphone. It may not have looked like it was in danger from the outside, but a lack of new features would have been a disaster for Apple.

Now though, the iPhone is stronger than ever. Two new phones in two new sizes, both with some great capacity options including 16, 64 and 128GB capacities.
The new sizes are great, but it does add a bit of complexity to picking the best deal. As always, we'd advise you go into your purchase knowing how much space you're going to need, and don't be swayed when it comes time to spend your money.

Best iPhone 6 deals on O2
O2 is the network with extras, including the popular O2 Priority service
Deal 1: Free phone, unlimited calls, unlimited texts, 1GB of data, £32.50pm
As with most entry-level tariffs, the up-front phone cost is zero, but you only get a modest 1GB of data. In truth though that's enough for most people and the unlimited calls and texts mean you can stay in touch with modest cost.
- Total cost over 24 months: £780

Deal 2: Free phone, unlimited calls, unlimited texts, 3GB of data, £36pm
Here we've attempted to balance a decent amount of data with the lowest possible monthly cost. £36 isn't bad, considering the free Space Grey iPhone 6 and the total lifetime cost isn't an outage either.
- Total cost over 24 months: £864
- Get this deal: direct from Mobiles.co.uk
Deal 3: £100 phone, unlimited calls, unlimited texts, 1GB data, £27.50pm
Ignoring the deals with pitiful sub-1GB data allowances and factoring in a reasonable up-front cost, the Mobiles.co.uk deal for a £100 handset with 1GB and unlimited calls and texts has a pretty good lifetime cost, if you can find that hundred quid up-front.

Best iPhone 6 deals on Three
Three is one of few providers that offers unlimited data, and Feel at Home is amazing for regular travellers.
Deal 1: Free phone, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, 2GB of data, £39.00pm
Three offers some good deals for data but it's rarely the cheapest - if you want a good deal, buy your own phone and get one of its SIM only tariffs. Here though the data is reasonable at 2GB and calls at 600 minutes are probably more than most will use.
- Total cost over 24 months: £936
- Get this deal: direct from BuyMobiles.net
Deal 2: Free phone, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data, £42pm
Three is the only UK provider to offer truly unlimited data, and this tariff - while expensive - means you can download as much as you like. Here you get 600 minutes too, but that's a side issue in many ways given the move to WhatsApp for both calls and texts.
- Total cost over 24 months: £1,008
- Get this deal: direct from BuyMobiles.net
Deal 3: £159.99 phone, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB of data, £31.00pm
If you have some up-front cash to spend, the BuyMobiles deal for £159.99 offers you reasonable data and unlimited texts with that 600mins of calls.
- Total cost over 24 months: £913.99

Best iPhone 6 deals on Vodafone
Vodafone prides itself in coverage and quality, it's often a bit mean with data, but there are extras like Spotify and Sky Sports Mobile thrown in.
Deal 1: As of now, Vodafone is the best iPhone 6 deal of any of the networks. The iPhone in 16GB and silver is jus t£249 upfront then £22.50 per month. For that, you get 100 minutes of calls and unlimited texts but data is capped at just 100mb - not really enough for even light users. Get this deal: direct from Vodafone
Deal 2: For those who need more data, Voda's best deal is for 4GB and that costs £35 per month with an up-front cost of £29.99. As with most high-limit data tariffs, calls and texts are both unlimited. Get this deal: direct from Carphone Warehouse
Deal 3: If you want the cost of your handset rolled into each month, rather than paying for it up-front, take a look at theiPhone 6 16GB in silver for £30.50 per month. That includes 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 250mb of data. Again though, Vodafone can be properly stingy with its data, and 250mb is really nowhere near enough.
