The iPhone 16 Pro has been around for a few months now, but the best iPhone 15 Pro plans are still a wonderful option for those looking for premium performance without paying the highest prices.

Buying outright is always a great option for those that can afford it, and we expect to see further discounts come as we head towards Christmas and Boxing Day sales. If buying outright from a retailer like JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys, is the way you want to go, we recommend pairing it with one of our best SIM-only plans .

However, dropping upwards of AU$1,500 on a smartphone isn't something everyone can do in one fell swoop – which is why opting pay it off over 24 or 36 months with one of the best phone plans is a popular choice. Right now is a great time to do so, too, as Vodafone has taken AU$10 off its Small, Medium and Large SIM plans.

We think Vodafone's offering is the best, but it's not the only deal on iPhone 15 Pro plans. Optus is offering up to AU$20 in SubHub credit with its AU$79 Promo plan and AU$82 Choice Plus plan, and Telstra's is taking AU$10p/m off the first six months of a new upfront mobile plan.

Consistently the value-pick for the best iPhone plans, at least until this promotion ends we think Vodafone is the telco to grab an iPhone 16 Pro from. Plus, you'll can watch the best shows on Binge with a free three-month subscription.

iPhone 15 Pro (128GB) | 50GB | 24 Months | AU$109.79 (for 12 months, then AU$119.79)

Normally, the best plan you can pair your iPhone 15 Pro with is Vodafone's AU$49 Small Plan. It still is, and right now you can grab it for just AU$39p/m over the first 12 months. Offering 50GB of data and 5G connectivity, you even get a free three-month subscription to Binge.

Total cost over 24 months is: AU$2,754.96

Need a little more monthly data to go with your Pro iPhone? Vodafone is once again the choice, and we think its AU$59 Medium Plan – down to AU$49 for the first 12 months – is the one to go with. You'll get 180GB of data and the free Binge subscription, but if that's not enough, the Large Plan is seeing the same AU$10 discount.

Total cost over 24 months is: AU$2,994.96

Other iPhone 15 Pro deals

Vodafonetrade-in and get up to AU$1,500 in credit

Vodafone | trade-in and get up to AU$1,500 in credit

Vodafone’s trade-in offer can get you up to AU$1,500 in credit to put towards your iPhone 15 Pro purchase. The actual amount you’ll receive for a trade-in depends on the model and condition of your device, for example, you’d need an iPhone 14 Pro Max (1TB) in good nick in order to get the full AU$1,500 in credit. On top of this, Vodafone is also offering double data on all its mobile plans for anyone buying a new iPhone 15.

Optustrade-in an eligible phone and receive a digital gift card worth up to AU$1,200

Optus | trade-in an eligible phone and receive a digital gift card worth up to AU$1,200

Optus is throwing in a digital gift card, potentially worth up to AU$1,200, when you purchase the iPhone 15 Pro from the carrier. We say potentially, because the gift card amount will depend on what phone you have to trade in and the condition that it’s in.

The Good Guys |

The Good Guys | outright from AU$1,597

If you're looking to buy outright, this is the best deal you're likely to find, with Amazon bringing the iPhone 15 Pro well under AU$2,000 with a trade-in, or to just AU$2,329.80.for the 1TB model.

JB Hi-Fi |

JB Hi-Fi | Outright from AU$1,599

While it's not as cheap as you'll get from trading in your old device or from Kogan, this brings the iPhone 15 Pro down to just AU$100 more expensive than the iPhone 15's launch price.

Kogan |

Kogan | 128GB iPhone 15 Pro from just AU$1,529 for Kogan First members

The cheapest outright price available from what we can find, though you'll have to sign up to Kogan First to make the most of it. Luckily you can start a free trial and take on no extra membership cost.

What are the new features for the iPhone 15 Pro?

The iPhone 16 is up for pre-order in only a few days, nonetheless, the iPhone 15 Pro possesses key upgrades over its predecessor. While the iPhone 15 is still one of the best phones on the market, the 15 Pro is certainly a better phone.  Starting with its appearance, the iPhone 15 Pro sports new materials, namely a slick titanium frame that makes the phone lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro's stainless steel rails. The sharp edges are also gone, with the 15 Pro offering softer sides.

This iPhone 15 no longer charges via Apple’s proprietary Lightning cable thanks to its much more universal USB-C port, much to many people's joy. This is the cable that's used by Samsung Galaxys, Google Pixels and plenty of other devices.

Also new to Apple’s Pro models is an Action button, similar to that which you'd find on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It replaces the traditional ring/silent switch that featured on iPhones for years previously, and you can customise it to trigger up to nine different actions with a series of short and long presses. This gives you a much quicker way of accessing the camera or your favourite apps without having to swipe through your phone.

The iPhone 15 Pro is a wildly powerful device, and while the A18 Pro chip of the iPhone 16 Pro models is certainly more powerful, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to support Apple's all-new AI features – powered by Apple Intelligence. You can see all our thoughts on the iPhone 15 Pro, its specs and how it handled in-person in our iPhone 15 Pro review..

The iPhone 15 Pro comes in four fairly subdued, mature-looking colours, including black, white, navy and a warm grey shade, and it launched at AU$1,849 for the 128GB model.
