Apple’s first foldable phone has now hit the market and we’ve extensively price compared the best deals UK retailers have to offer.
Here we run through the cheapest iPhone Duo contract deals based on total cost including the annual price increases to help you make maximum savings.
We also look at the cheapest deals for those on a lower budget to make their upfront costs for the new iPhone Duo as affordable as possible.
The SIM Free price of the new iPhone Duo is £1,999 for the 256GB model, so that’s what we’re comparing contract costs to.
First, let’s look at the very cheapest deals regarding their minimum contract terms, regardless of any restrictions on upfront costs.
The lowest cost contract plans for the iPhone Duo are offered at TalkMobile and they are by far the cheapest on the market for total cost!

That’s just £36.80 more than buying the iPhone Duo 256GB outright as a SIM-free phone, partly because TalkMobile don’t increase their plan prices every year like other networks!

We fully appreciate that not everyone has the budget for the higher upfront costs associated with the cheapest overall deals, so below we show you the lowest priced iPhone Duo contract plans by upfront budget in descending order.
Cheapest iPhone Duo deals under £1000 upfront cost
For contract plans with a maximum of £1000 in advance, it is another network operator that offers the cheapest iPhone Duo deals.
ID Mobile contract plans have three different options at the same £44.99 a month with variable upfront costs based on how much data you need.
100GB data, unlimited calls and texts are currently £959 upfront, which you can add an extra £10 to your basket with our exclusive discount code: MOBPHONES10
This gives a total cost of ownership, including the annual price increase every April of £1.80, at £2075.56 or £76.56 more than the retail price equivalent to £3.19 per month over the 24 month contract.
400GB, unlimited calls and text is priced at just £20 more up front at £979, giving a total cost of £2095.56 after the discount code and £4.02 per month over retail price.

iPhone Duo deals with maximum £500 upfront
Lowering the upfront budget to £500, it’s ID Mobile again who offer the cheapest contract plans.
This time the upfront costs are the same for 100GB, 400GB and unlimited data plans at £299, while the monthly price starts at £76.99 per month for the 100GB plan.
The 400GB plan is just £1 more at £77.99 a month and the unlimited plan is a further £1 at £78.99 a month.
Total contract cost after the annual price increase of £1.80 and application of the £10 off discount code; MOBPHONES10 are:
100GB plan = £2183.56 – £184.56 above retail price = £7.69 per month

Unlimited plan – £2231.56 – £232.56 above retail price = £9.69 per month
iPhone Duo contract deals with the lowest monthly costs
There is currently only one network offering contract deals for the iPhone Duo with monthly prices below £70 per month.
Online exclusive deals offered by Three start at £69.44 a month with £100 upfront for 150GB of data, unlimited calls and texts.
The difference here is that buying directly from a network, as opposed to a dealer, means that you enter into longer-term split contracts that increase the overall cost.
Great for those who can’t afford higher upfront costs, but more expensive in total at £2515.64.
That said, Three’s device financing is completely flexible, allowing you to overpay if you want to reduce the contract length or monthly price.
The downside is that although the air time plan is a standard 24 months, the device financing is a 36 month contract, but with overpayments this can be shortened and you can pay in full at any time.
The £69.44 monthly cost consists of a £12 airtime plan and a £57.44 device finance agreement.
You can save even more and reduce the device finance amount by trading in an old phone when you buy with Three.
