Argos’ tech sale means Apple fans can get this iPhone model for £200 less than its launch price
Apple iPhone’s are considered by many to be one of the best smartphones money can buy, and when it comes to upgrading to the brand’s flagship iPhone 16 range there’s plenty of deals to go buy. However, at a starting price of £799 the model doesn’t fall within everyone’s budget, not forgetting the iPhone 16 Pro Max which costs as much as £1,599.
Scrimping on some of the most recent features and picking a slightly older model is how tech-savvy fans can get around the prices, like the iPhone 15. And we may have found the best price.
We’ve spotted an Argos deal selling the iPhone 15 model for one of the cheapest rates yet, and it comes with a free VOXI Mobile SIM. Now £599, the standard 128GB device is £200 cheaper than its original launch price of £799, thanks to the retailer’s ongoing flurry of price drops.

Despite being overtaken by the current flagship iPhone 16 range, the iPhone 15 is still considered to be a handset worthwhile. Launched in 2024 it’s software is up to date and is fully compatible with the newest iOS 18. It has a versatile camera system and quick speeds that make it a quality device.
The only downside to getting an iPhone 15, which will be a big factor for some, is its lower refresh rate. The model only has a 60Hz display, the iPhone 16 has a 120Hz – which helps give smoother motion and prevent blurring.
128GB iPhone 15
Shoppers can get the Apple iPhone 15 for one of the cheapest prices around – now £599 at Argos. £100 cheaper than Amazon’s £698 sale price and Apple’s £799 iPhone 16 price.
In the last few weeks Argos has dropped a lot of tech prices with big named brands like Apple, Samsung, and LG taking front stage. Other deals include the Samsung Galaxy tablets, like this Tab A9+ that’s discounted by 10% off when shoppers use the hidden code.
To put into perspective how good Argos’ price is, Amazon is currently selling the iPhone 15 for £698. Although as the Prime retailer has third-party sellers there are a few deals priced in the £500 mark, but they don’t come from the official Apple storefront.
Elsewhere, and one for shoppers who’d prefer not to fork out hundreds of pounds at once then there’s mobile contracts. We’d pick Sky Mobile for this, as it offers the handset for £19 per month, and with no upfront fees.
This is a device only price, so shoppers will need to factor in data costs on top. Across its 36-month contract this will cost £684 overall. In line with Amazon’s £100 off price, not as cheap as Argos’ price.
