Sky has the competition beat with the cheapest iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max deals
Apple's premium iPhone at its cheapest going rate
Let's face it - the iPhone 12 may very well end up being Apple's most popular handset from its 2020 family, both for its exciting new features, look, and, of course, its affordability. However, the real excitement falls to the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max models - and we've found the iPhone 12 Pro deals to seal the deal.
Sky is offering customers a way to get their hands on the handset without making your bank account weep. For just £41 a month get the iPhone 12 Pro with absolutely zero upfront costs.
Admittedly, this does come with just 2GB of data alongside unlimited minutes and texts, but for an additional amount you can boost that anywhere from 7GB to 60GB of data.
And that's not all - Sky has given the same affordability to its iPhone 12 Pro Max deals. Secure the iPhone 12 Pro Max with 2GB of data for £45 a month and no upfront costs.
For these kinds of prices, you'd expect to be paying a pretty hefty payment off the bat, but Sky has completely written off any upfront costs on Apple's premium handsets.

Again, this is with a measly 2GB of data a month, but for not much more you can upgrade and fill your boots, starting from an exceptional monthly rate.

In essence, Swap24 is a 36 month contract with the option to upgrade after 24 months. As long as you're phone is in full working order, you can return it to Sky after 24 months which will help pay off the bills of whatever shiny new handset you choose to upgrade to in two years time.
If you get to 24 months with your new iPhone 12 and decide that you want to keep it for the remainder of the contract, you can of course do that, too.
While the premise is simple, it is important to note that Sky states on their website "full working order with no physical damage".
You can also swap your phone out any time after the first 31 days, you just need to pay what's left in your contract balance after the value of your phone is taken into account.
Why go for Sky Mobile?
Looking past the obvious reason of the affordable pricing above, Sky Mobile has a few special features that make it stand out:
Roll: Don't use all of your data one month? No problem! Sky will let you roll it over into the next month. You can keep rolling data over for up to three years, perfect if there's a time where you'll need it more. You can even cash in your unused data for a range of rewards from Sky or gift it to other phones if you're on a family account.
Watch: If you're also a Sky TV customer, you can watch the Sky Go app on your mobile without using up data on your phone - perfect for train journeys.
Mix: Go for that £21 per month tariff now and, if you realise later down the line that 2GB of data just isn't enough, you can change it up at any time.
Swap: Sky lets you swap your phone contract after 24 months, meaning you can upgrade to a new phone if you like. Obviously, you will need to pay for the upgraded contract price but otherwise, it is pretty simple. Just to be clear, Sky's Swap 24 plans keep you contracted in for 36 months.
