Best iPhone 15 Pro Max plans in Australia (October 2025)

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is almost a year old and the new iPhone 17 series is set to be announced in the coming weeks. However, if you want top-tier size and power without paying a premium, the iPhone 15 Pro Max remains one of the best options.

It might be turning two soon, but in our iPhone 15 Pro Max review we said "the best just got better" and its big screen, fantastic cameras and...winning look" are still worthy of the 4.5-star score we awarded it. Plus, the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max are the only phones in the iPhone 15 series to offer Apple Intelligence features.

And, unlike the smaller iPhone 15 Pro which is out of stock at Australia's biggest telcos, Vodafone is offering some very enticing iPhone 15 Pro Max plans. You can read more about our two favourite options below, but you can also snag top deals from retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys. Plus, you can pair it with our best SIM-only plans to save more.

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 two years. 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.
