Apple has several iPhone models to meet all needs and budgets, each available with several storage capacities. We find the iPhone SE at the entry level, the only model to integrate a rectangular and Touch ID screen again. The iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14, old models that still hold the road very well, make it possible to ensure intermediate pricing to the iPhone 15, the latest model with a professional version even more advanced.

How to buy an iPhone cheaper ?

Compare iPhone prices is a long -term job. The “naked” prices, that is to say without package, are quite simple to compare, but as soon as you start to want to compare the iPhone prices sold with a package, it becomes very complicated. First of all because the packages are often different from one operator to another, but also because telephone operators hide their game well with promotions in the first months, advantages to change phone at the end of one or two years, coupons, etc. We have often seen it in our columns: Buying a naked iPhone with a non -binding package is very often the best formula for saving money.

A naked iPhone or with a package ?

iPhone XS XR

The answer to this question is quite simple: Buying a naked iPhone and opting for a non -binding package is almost systematically cheaper than buying an iPhone linked to a package with commitment. Operators indeed offer substantial discounts on the purchase of phones coupled with packages, but these packages are generally much more expensive than their non -binding equivalent. Buying a bare phone therefore involves spending a larger sum at once, but the operation is much more profitable in the long term.

If we choose for example an iPhone 7 with a capacity of 32 GB, sold € 529 on the Apple Store, and that we choose one of the multiple non -binding packages at € 19.99 per month (20 GB to 100 GB According to offers) offered on the market, the total invoice over two years is € 1,008.76. If we take this same phone for example at Orange with a package with 30 GB of data, the iPhone costs € 209.90, but the package is much more expensive, at € 44.99 per month: over two years, The total is € 1,289.66.

This is of course only an example, but compare prices with the different operators in connection below should allow you to reach the same conclusion. The reasoning can also be pushed further: having a non -binding package allows you to buy an iPhone at a lower cost during promotional operations, and you can also take advantage of promotions on packages without commitment to the good Business that you can find in our good deals section.

Non -binding packages

Packages with commitment

The iPhone imported from abroad

If you choose a non -binding package, you can buy your iPhone from any seller. We invite you to consult the operator’s online store that interests you, and the latter may offer a more attractive price than the Apple Store. If you are looking for the best price, we advise you to take a look at Rakuten, Cdiscount or Amazon which offer a whole series of iPhones imported from other countries, such as the United Kingdom or the Italy. Thanks to the favorable exchange rate and the prices charged which are often less important than in France, there are real cases to be made with discounts often exceeding the 20% or even 30% mark. Be careful however, the discounts can be very important but the warranty with Apple will only be one year in France (read: What guarantees for Apple products ?)).

Regular temporary promotions

The iPhone is unfortunately not sold on the Refurb Store, and no reduction is offered on the Apple Store Education. On the other hand, there are many resellers who regularly offer discounts on Apple phones, and we relay the most interesting offers on our good deals section. We invite you to follow you @bonsplansapple on Twitter to not miss anything ! Do not hesitate to take a regular tour on our price comparison, which will allow you to identify the best offers of the moment at a glance.

Used iPhones

Buying a used iPhone to pay it cheaper can be tempting, but we advise you to be extremely careful, especially for a private purchase of individuals. Indeed, you can come across many scams on the internet, so you have to be very careful: ask for the bill, check the proper functioning of the phone, check the good condition of the battery, check that the iPhone is well unlocked, refuse Payments via services such as Western Union or Money Gram, always make a hand transaction in hand or via a specialized site offering you insurance.

Buy an iPhone abroad

Buying an iPhone out of France can be a very good plan to save money. Indeed, Apple does not sell its iPhone at the same price all over the world (even within the euro zone), and exchange rate fluctuations can play in your favor, especially in the United States. On the other hand, watch out for taxes: if you leave the Schengen area, any higher purchase of the equivalent of € 430 (depending on the price of the day) must be declared customs and you will have to pay French VAT. However, there is no need to go so far and good deals can be made in Europe: Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain. You can find out about the different iPhone prices all over the world by going to this page.

iPhone: essential accessories

The iPhone can completely work without the slightest accessory. Depending on your use, however, some will be highly recommended, and others will be essential.

Strongly advised: protection !

The iPhone is fragile: it scratches fairly easily, and a bad fall can quickly cause the screen breakage. And the replacement of the latter is rather expensive ! Thus, it is better to invest in a cover or in a shell, and many models are offered to match your tastes, at prices for all budgets. Do not take the risk of breaking your phone for so little !

Depending on your use: in the car, for the hi-fi channel.

Many cables and adapters are available for specific uses: being able to connect your iPhone to the cigarette lighter of your car to recharge it, be able to connect it to a hi-fi chain. For use in GPS mode in your car, you will also need a suction cup holder, and if your vehicle is not equipped with a jack input, you will need an FM transmitter. Many stores offer these accessories, and you can even find some in the form of kits !

For comfort: headphones, additional cables, additional chargers.

For a little more comfort, you can offer yourself better quality headphones or headsets than Apple headphones, which are correct but have nothing transcendent. Also, the additional cables and chargers (one for the house, one for the car, one for the office, etc.) can render you proud services !
