Where to buy the cheapest iPhone in Australia right now
Today's lowest prices on every current iPhone across every major Australian store, Apple included — and which model is the best value.
By the Compare Empire team2 min read Prices checked 22 October 2026
Apple sets one price for its own store (it is in the tables below), but Australian retailers don't have to follow it — and they don't. On the same day the same iPhone can be a couple of hundred dollars apart. Here's where each one is cheapest today.

Tips for buying an iPhone for less
- Compare the exact storage. A "$1,499 iPhone" and a "$1,849 iPhone" can be the same model in different storage sizes.
- Colour can change the price. Retailers sometimes discount one colour to clear stock — use the colour filter on each phone page.
- Previous generations drop the most. When a new iPhone launches, stores clear the old one fast. Save the phone and check back.
- Watch for "was" prices. A sale is only a sale if the price was actually higher recently. Our price history shows you what it really cost last week.
