iPhones come in a range of models that are designed to fit your pocket and your budget, but how much will Apple’s current offerings set you back? Here’s a breakdown of the iPhone line-up, including which is the cheapest and most expensive of Apple’s iPhones.
Which is the cheapest iPhone?
If you’re thinking of buying an iPhone today, but don’t have a big budget, then the cheapest model available is the iPhone SE (2022). It’s also the one with the smallest display (4.7-inch) and the last remaining device to retain the physical Home button.
It is also possible to save money on other iPhone handsets if you’d prefer a larger screen and Face ID. Apple currently sells the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini at a discount compared to when they first launched–so you can pick up a premium model from the last couple of years all while saving some money at the same time. If you don’t need the latest and greatest, then the iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are all brilliant iPhones.
It is also possible to buy cheaper iPhones from Apple’s Refurbished Store. These iPhones have been refurbished, but come with a one year warranty. Another option is not to buy your iPhone from Apple, but to look for deals one of the various Apple resellers. We track deals on all the iPhone handsets–check out our round up of the best iPhone deals this month. We also have guides to the best deals for iPhone 14 and the best deals for iPhone 13.

iPhone SE price
The iPhone SE (2022) is Apple’s cheapest iPhone right now. It’s ideal for those who want a smaller iPhone and a Home button.
Here’s how much the iPhone SE (2022) costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone SE (2022) 64GB: $429 / £449 / A$719 / CA$579
- iPhone SE (2022) 128GB: $479 / £499 / A$799 / CA$649
- iPhone SE (2022) 256GB: $579 / £609 / A$969 / CA$789
iPhone 12 price
The next cheapest iPhone is the iPhone 12, which launched back in 2019 but is still a reasonably good handset for anyone who doesn’t need the maximum in power. Just be aware that the iPhone 12 base model starts out at 64GB of storage, which we feel is a bit tight.
Here’s how much the iPhone 12 costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone 12 64GB: $599 / £649 / A$1,049 / CA$849
- iPhone 12 128GB: $649 / £699 / A$1,129 / CA$919
- iPhone 12 256GB: $749 / £809 / A$1,299 / CA$1,069
iPhone 13 mini price
The iPhone 13 mini is expected to be the last of the smaller iPhones we’ll see for a while, as the mini model was dropped from the iPhone 14 line-up. So if you want the smallest iPhone you will ever be able to get this is the one for you.
Here’s how much the iPhone 13 mini costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone 13 mini 128GB: $599 / £649 / A$1,049 / CA$849
- iPhone 13 mini 256GB: $699 / £759 / A$1,219 / CA$999
- iPhone 13 mini 512GB: $899 / £979 / A$1,569 / CA$1,269
iPhone 13 price
There’s not a huge difference between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 so if you aren’t bothered about having a slightly better version of the same processor and features like Action Mode, then you should get the cheaper handset.
Here’s how much the iPhone 13 costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone 13 128GB: $699 / £749 / A$1,229 / CA$999
- iPhone 13 256GB: $799 / £859 / A$1,399 / CA$1,149
- iPhone 13 512GB: $999 / £1,079 / A$1,749 / CA$1,419
How much does a new iPhone cost?
If you are prepared to spend a little more and want the latest iPhone you will need to consider the iPhone 14 and its larger brother the iPhone 14 Plus. If you want the ultimate iPhone handset then the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the ones to consider.
iPhone 14 price
As we said above, there’s not a huge difference between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, but there are some new features that might interest you. For example, we love Action Mode, which allows you to film video while moving, plus there is also the new Emergency SOS feature.
Here’s how much the iPhone 14 costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone 14 128GB: $799 / £849 / A$1,399 / CA$1,099
- iPhone 14 256GB: $899 / £959 / A$1,579 / CA$1,249
- iPhone 14 512GB: $1,099 / £1,179 / A$1,899 / CA$1,519
iPhone 14 Plus price
The iPhone 14 essentially comes in two sizes: the smaller handset with its 6.1-inch screen, and a larger version that has a 6.7-inch screen. This the first time Apple has offered a larger screen with the standard iPhone. So if you are after a phablet-style iPhone, without having to pay the premium attached to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, this is the one for you.
Here’s how much the iPhone 14 Plus costs if you buy one from Apple:
- iPhone 14 Plus 128GB: $899 / £949 / A$1,579 / CA$1,249
- iPhone 14 Plus 256GB: $999 / £1,059 / A$1,749 / CA$1,399
- iPhone 14 Plus 512GB: $1,199 / £1,279 / A$2,099 / CA$1,669
Which is the most expensive iPhone?
Should you require the highest build quality and specifications that Apple can offer, then there is no other option than the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. These are both premium powerhouses that hold every trick Apple can fit into a handset. They have prices to match though.
iPhone 14 Pro price
The iPhone 14 Pro is the same size as the iPhone 14, but the processor is a generation newer, and therefore more powerful, and the camera much better. There are many other enhancements that make this a better handset–but it has a much higher price.

- iPhone 14 Pro 128GB: $999 / £1,099 / A$1,749 / CA$1,399
