There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and a new iPhone range release towards the end of the year. And there’s quite a steep upfront cost if you want to buy a shiny new iPhone outright. Alternatively, you can pay off the cost of a new Apple smartphone over a 24-month period with an upfront cost.
Regardless of which handset variant you prefer, buying a new iPhone also means picking a plan from one of the big three telcos: Singtel, StarHub, or M1. Scroll on for this month’s pick of the best iPhone plans.

How we choose the best iPhone plans each month
At WhistleOut, we take the job of recommending our monthly winners and runners-up very seriously. That’s why we have a dedicated team that reads dozens of plan documents each week to spot hundreds of plan changes in our database every month.
If you already own an iPhone, the great news is you can pair it with the plans featured on this page, albeit instead of a postpaid mobile plan that includes the cost of a handset, you’re looking at a SIM-only variant. For our best iPhone plan picks, here are some of the factors we take into consideration:
Price
We consider upfront cost not just ongoing plan pricing.
We evaluate price in terms of 24-month value, which helps separate great monthly pricing with upfront fees from a pricier monthly plan with no upfront fees.
Data
To choose the best iPhone plans we use included monthly local data.
This helps determine the overall dollar-to-data value.
We also take into account if that data is 4G or 5G.
Roaming
Singapore is a land of frequent flyers and travellers, so we prioritise plans with roaming inclusions.
While the focus is on roaming data, extra points are given to plans with voice and SMS roaming.
