Apple is the king of brilliant, yet expensive phones. With devices such as the iPhone XS Max and XR costing eye-watering prices, it can make sense to go back a models and pick yourself up one of Apple’s older plus size models.
This is where the iPhone 8 Plus deals come in. If you want one of the newest large screened Apple smartphones, but the price of the iPhone XS make you feel dizzy, then the 8 Plus will be the one for you.
So how are iPhone 8 Plus prices looking. On average, if you shop wisely (using our price comparison chart below) you’ll save yourself around £300 if you go for this handset over the iPhone X. We’ve seen monthly tariffs as low as the £25 region if you’re prepared to stick a wedge down upfront.
Still feeling a bit overwhelmed by these prices? Don’t forget that iPhone 8 deals are also available if you’d prefer the smaller smartphone, along with the smaller prices. And you can save £10 on the upfront cost of any iPhone 8 Plus deal at Mobiles.co.uk by using the voucher code 10OFF at the checkout.

Need even more data? Yes? Are you quite sure? 30GB is really rather a lot. You simply need 100GB? Well, OK then, you’ll have to go with Three.

iPhone 8 Plus price: how much does it cost?
A mighty £699. That’s how much the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus will cost you in the UK according to the RRP. That might seem like a lot but that’s one hundred pounds cheaper than when it first came out.
Need more memory? Then your only other option is spending an extra £150 and grabbing a £849 256GB iPhone 8 Plus.
If you opt to buy the iPhone 8 Plus upfront without a contract you will save money in the long run, but of course £699 is a lot of money to pay. If you can afford it though it the way to go once you pair it with a cheap SIM only deal.
This is the iPhone you want if you can’t quite afford the iPhone X or iPhone XS Max. It’s got the larger battery, same powerful innards and strong camera. If you don’t mind the poorer screen, it’s a good option – and the screen is still a beaut. And we prefer it quite a lot more to the regular iPhone 8.
