Apple IntelligenceHow to choose the best iPhone 13 deal
With dozens of deals across every major UK network, there are four things worth thinking through before you commit to a contract.
Select the right amount of data
Data is one of the biggest cost drivers in any mobile contract. Light users who mainly browse and use messaging apps can get away with 5 to 15GB a month. Regular streamers or remote workers typically need 30 to 100GB, and if you rely on your phone as a hotspot or watch a lot of video on the go, an unlimited plan will give you peace of mind without overage charges.
Upfront cost
Paying more upfront reduces your monthly bill, and over a 24-month contract, even a £100 upfront payment can shave £4 to £5 off each month. If you'd rather keep cash in your pocket, £0 upfront deals are widely available, though you'll pay a higher monthly rate. Work out the total contract cost (upfront + monthly × term) to compare deals fairly.
Phone storage
Storage tiers vary by handset. Most flagship phones now start at 128GB or 256GB and go up to 1TB or 2TB. If you stream music and back photos up to the cloud, the base tier is usually plenty. Photographers and videographers shooting in ProRes or RAW will want 512GB or more. None of the major handsets accept expandable storage, so it's worth sizing up if you're on the fence.
Pick the right model
The standard model suits most buyers, but Pro and Ultra variants typically add a larger screen, premium materials, a faster display refresh rate, or a more capable camera system. Compare the standard and Pro deals side by side to decide where your money goes furthest.
iPhone 13 vs iPhone 14
The iPhone 14 adds Crash Detection, satellite Emergency SOS (in supported markets) and a brighter main camera (f/1.5 vs f/1.6). It also keeps A15 Bionic silicon, so chip performance is the same.
The iPhone 13 undercuts the 14 on contract. For many users it's the better value, same display, same chip, same iOS 18 experience.
