This iPhone 17 Black Friday deal saves you AU$504 – but there's one very big caveat

If you've been waiting for Black Friday in the hopes of snagging the all-new iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air at a discounted price, Vodafone's Black Friday sale is answering your call.

Vodafone's SIM plans are receiving AU$14 p/m discounts for Cyber Weekend – knocking its small and medium plans to just AU$39 and AU$49 for the first 12 months, respectively. On top of that, they've also had their data doubled to 120GB and 400GB over your entire chosen contract.

All that gets even better when you pair your chosen plan with one of the new phones. While there is no discount on the device itself, the limited-time AU$14 p/m discount extends for the full 36-month term when paired with a new Apple handset – saving you a total of AU$504. Already a great option if you're looking to avoid large up-front payments, this deal is very hard to ignore.

Save AU$504 on your SIM plan when it's paired with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air

Without this discount, pairing Vodafone's small plan with an iPhone 17 would cost AU$91.86 p/m – totalling AU$3,306.96 over the three-year term. Today, you'll have to pay AU$77.86 monthly and AU$2,802.96 total. Don't forget you're getting double data here, too. The top big-data offering is 200GB for AU$63 p/m. This deal will see you get 120GB for AU$39 p/m or 400GB for AU$49 p/m, respectively.

While the double data and discount make it a lot more attractive, the biggest downside to this deal for some will be the lock-in contract. However, beggars can't be choosers when it comes to iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro deals.

We've been hunting all the best Black Friday sales, and it's pretty slim pickings on the iPhone deals – and basically radio silence regarding outright discounts on Apple's latest suite of smartphones.

The only outright iPhone 17 deal we've found is a weak AU$100 off the iPhone 17 Pro through Amaysim – which results in just AU$70 off once you pair it with the required plan.

And, while we have our fingers crossed for sweeter Black Friday iPhone sales, we're doubtful.

If you're looking to upgrade your iPhone, but don't necessarily need the best of the best, Vodafone is running a similar deal on the budget-focused iPhone 16e.

Save AU$754 when you pair the iPhone 16e with an eligible Vodafone SIM plan

This deal structure mirrors the offer above, except Vodafone is providing an enticing AU$250 discount on the device itself. Offering a flagship experience with a battery, screen and build that match (or even beat) the iPhone 16, the handset's single camera lens is its only real weakness. This deal amounts to just a AU$59.82 monthly payment for the handset and the 120GB of its discounted small plan. Alternatively, Optus has halved the price of the iPhone 16e – though you'll save more with Voda in the long run.
