As the smartphone wars rage on, there’s an onslaught of new iPhones released every year. For the past few years, Apple has made its iPhone lineup more complex by releasing multiple version of the iPhone each year.

We’ve tracked down prices from around the internet to answer the question, “How much does the iPhone cost?” We break down the prices for all the models you can buy online from Apple, Walmart, Best Buy, and the four major cellular providers – Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T – as well as the price on Amazon with Simple Mobile Prepaid.

Before getting into the details, the prices we’re listing are based on the lowest possible storage amount (64GB for the iPhone 11 to 8, 32GB for the iPhone 7, and 16GB for the iPhone 6S). If you want more storage, the price will be higher.

Also, as we get to the models that are a few years old, there may not be an option to buy it new. You can also read our full iPhone buying guide for more buying recommendations and advice.

The two-year-old iPhone 8 is small enough to hold comfortably in one hand, and it only costs $449 unlocked now, but you'd do better to buy the XR, which is nearly the same price now, or the 11 if you can swing it.

iPhone 8 Plus price

Although the iPhone 6S looks new, it has four-year-old tech inside and it won't last much longer, so don't buy it - even though it's $200.

iPhone 6S Plus price

Even though the iPhone 6S Plus is just $299, it's not worth buying because the tech is already outdated and it won't last you as long as a newer phone.

How should you buy your new iPhone?

  • Tech geek? Join the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. You'll essentially rent your phone with monthly payments, and you can upgrade to a new one after 12 payments. If you do that, you end up paying half price for the phone and you get a new one every year without worrying about the cost. T-Mobile has a similar offer, in which you can upgrade as soon as you've paid off half of the phone's entire balance.
  • Tech-savvy traveler? We recommend you buy your iPhone unlocked so you can pop in local SIM cards when you travel. To do this, buy from Apple, preferably through the iPhone Upgrade Program. Alternatively, you can buy from T-Mobile or Sprint because they have free international service in 100+ countries.
  • Budget hunter? Check out all the carrier promotions and maybe wait a few months after the launch to buy your new iPhone. The new iPhone 11 is a good deal at $699, as it has most of the same tech as the new 11 Pro models. You can also get the $599 iPhone XR, which costs several hundred dollars less than the XS and Max, but has most of the same tech. You can get a two-year-old iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus for a good price now, too, but we don't recommend them. Do not buy the iPhone 7 or older, though, because the tech is old, it won't last as long, and it is not a good investment.
