How to get the new iPhone SE 64GB handset for the same price as the 16GB
The iPhone SE goes on sale tomorrow and while it’s been hailed as the “cheapest” and “most powerful” Apple handset to date, there is a way to get more storage for the same price as the 16GB model.
You can expect to pay from £359 for the 16GB handset and from £439 for the 64GB. But comparison site HandsetExpert.com found that you can land yourself a 64GB handset for the same price as a 16GB, or just a few pence more per month.
Below are the best deals currently on offer (prices checked 9am, 30 March 2016):
High data users
Carphone Warehouse and mobiles.co.uk offer a 64GB iPhone SE with 11GB of data, and unlimited minutes for £36 per month on the Vodafone network.
The best deal available for the 16GB model costs exactly the same price, also available on the Vodafone network.
There’s just a 1p a month difference between a 16GB and a 64GB handset for a bundle offering 10GB of data.
A 16GB iPhone SE bought through EE, with 10GB of data and unlimited minutes will cost £39.99 per month. But a 64GB handset bought through Carphone Warehouse on O2 will cost you £40.
Low data user
If your data needs are smaller, you could buy a 64GB iPhone SE from Carphone Warehouse, on Vodafone, with 3GB of data and unlimited minutes and you’ll pay just £1.63 per month more than the best price currently available for a 16GB iPhone SE on the same tariff.
