Apple fans can get a free pair of AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation when they upgrade to the iPhone 17 at Mobiles.co.uk, as part of a limited-time promotion that also includes double data on iD Mobile's 200GB tariff. The AirPods, which have an RRP of £179 and typically sell for £169 from Apple, are included at no extra cost with the £35.99 per month plan.
Deal details and upfront payment options
The standard offer requires an upfront payment of £145, but customers can choose to pay £40.99 per month instead, reducing the upfront cost to £29. Both tariffs feature the same double data promotion, giving 200GB for the price of 100GB. However, shoppers should note that the £35.99 tariff will rise to £37.79 from April 2027 and £39.59 from April 2028, with two price increases during the 24-month contract.
Mobiles.co.uk has not specified an end date for the promotion, only confirming it's available 'while stock lasts'. In comparison, Sky Mobile has quietly reduced the price of its iPhone 17 plan to £24.75 per month with £12 upfront, but this contract only includes a 100MB data allowance, which may not suit heavier users who will need to upgrade at extra cost, according to the Daily Record.
Contract length and alternative purchasing options
Sky's contracts are also longer at 36 months, although customers have the option to upgrade after 24 months. For those who prefer to buy outright, the iPhone 17 is available at Amazon, where the 256GB model has been reduced from £799 to £749.
Apple launched the iPhone 17 in September, featuring a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display and new colours including Mist Blue and Sage. It runs on the A19 Bionic chip, boasts an 'all-day' battery, and includes a 48MP Dual Fusion Camera, Wi-Fi 7, and Apple Intelligence capabilities.
Customer feedback and ratings
Mobiles.co.uk customers have given the iPhone 17 a 4.25-star rating, praising its performance and value. One five-star review says: "Amazing mobile phone. Fast, great screen resolution, battery lasts well enough [and] camera takes outstanding photos. Really pleased overall." Another reviewer writes: "Feels great whilst maintaining its simplicity and performance, packed with the latest features. I'm so glad I went for the iPhone 17 from Mobiles.co.uk, service has been brilliant."
One buyer awarded four stars due to a minor gripe with the camera button, noting: "The right camera button is quite sensitive and a bit annoying, but otherwise I like it." A further customer remarked: "Really amazing phone. Lightweight and easy to use. Great value for money with the two-year contract and double data."
