iPhone 15 Pro Max deals

The iPhone 16 Pro Max and its siblings are almost a year old, the iPhone 16e arrived earlier this year as a more affordable option and the iPhone 17 family is just a few months away, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max is still one of the best phones on the market.

In our iPhone 15 Pro Max review, we described it as the best getting better. While that's once again the case with its successor, the older model still offers the "big screen, fantastic cameras and a winning look" that earned it that moniker. Plus, it's the only iPhone 15 (along with the 15 Pro) to offer Apple Intelligence features.

Given that, it's still an expensive buy – which makes long-term contracts through telcos like Vodafone and Optus an attractive option. However, it can be had from top retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys for less right now thanks to Apple EOFY sales. Just be sure to pair it with our best SIM-only plans.

Either way, you should explore all your options. Below, you'll find the two best iPhone 15 Pro Max plans for two different phone users.

Best iPhone 15 Pro Max plans: our picks

Best overall iPhone 15 Pro Max plan

iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB) | 100GB | 24 Months | AU$111.87 (for the first 12 months, then AU$121.87 p/m)

Vodafone was already our top choice when it comes to the best iPhone 15 Pro Max plans, but this deal is AU$7 cheaper than the price we were seeing earlier this year. Snagging a AU$10 discount on the first 12 months of the year, you also get double data on your entire contract – making this a viable option even for those who need large amounts of data. However, pairing the same plan with the iPhone 16 Pro Max costs AU$105.54 p/m

Total cost over 24 months is: AU$2,954.88

Best premium iPhone 15 Pro Max plan

iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB) | 360GB | 24 Months | AU$121.87 p/m (first 12 months, then AU$131.87 p/m)

Need a monthly data pool that matches the size and power of your new iPhone? Vodafone is once again the telco for you. With doubled data on its medium plan, the usual 180GB of data evolves into a giant 360GB over the entirety of your contract, all for less than it would usually cost thanks to a AU$10 discount on the first 12 months. That said, the same plan paired with the iPhone 16 Pro Max costs AU$115.54 p/m.

Total cost over 24 months is: AU$3,194.88

What are the key features for the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

We’ve had plenty of hands-on time with the iPhone 15 Pro Max over the past year, and while it wasn't a massive upgrade over the iPhone 14 Pro Max, it has some very noteworthy changes. First of all, it features a new 5x optical zoom for its telephoto lens – setting it apart from the iPhone 15 Pro's 3x optical zoom – which we were incredibly impressed by in our iPhone 15 Pro Max review.

That's far from the best optical zoom on the market, as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra offers 10x, but even still it's a very welcome addition for Apple loyalists, and it helps you take some incredible snaps. As well as its 12MP telephoto lens that boasts that improved optical zoom, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera array also possesses a 48MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 12MP telephoto with the improved optical zoom.

The 15 Pro Max is also now equipped with Apple’s own A17 Pro chip, which is plenty powerful for even the most serious of gamers. More importantly, while the all-new AI features of Apple Intelligence are coming to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are also strong enough to handle it. Aside from the speed it offers, the A17 Pro has formidable graphics capabilities with Apple showing off console-level gaming at its showing.
