If you’re buying the 256GB iPhone 7 Plus then you probably are a hardcore phone user and shouldn’t be looking at plans with only 1GB data on them even if they save you some $300 on the asking price of this $1,569 handset.

Yes, that’s $1,569 for the phone outright. You can get a decent laptop for that.

At this level you’ll be looking to spend some $2,550 over two years to get value and the two main areas of choice will look familiar to those who have read up to this far…

In terms of plans, once again Vodafone and Virgin’s $60 plans are the best to choose with their 4GB and 5GB of data (respectively) plus $48 and $46 monthly payments for the iPhone. At the end of two years you’ll have spent a little over $1,100 for the top iPhone – over $400 of savings.

However, the $40 BYO contract space is once again the place to go if you can pay up front: 7-8GB of monthly data for a $2,529 spend over two years and with no contract.

But in this instance the monthly payments could look much more attractive, not least because Virgin’s two year price of $2,544 for 5GB is great value all round for most users.
