There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and a new iPhone range release towards the end of the year. And there’s quite the 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

Choosing the right mobile or internet plan is hard. There are a number of providers, and it can feel like the market changes every now and then. To help, every month our expert team picks out the best phone and internet plans across a wide range of categories. The WhistleOut team read over 300 plan documents each week and spot about 100 plan changes for our database every month. It takes a dedicated team of experts to monitor the phone and internet markets, and each month we select our Editor's Picks together. Plans considered are all currently part of the WhistleOut database, which currently includes 14 mobile and 6 internet service providers.

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 picks, the first key consideration is monthly & upfront cost, which changes based on our categories. The focus of our winners and runners-up, though, is for those people seeking to bundle monthly iPhone handset repayments with an appropriate plan that will help them get the most of their new Apple smartphone.

We tend to make our picks based on a few iPhone options to meet different performance and budget needs. In terms of the plans, these are appraised by our team of experts each month to see which ones have the best dollar-to-data value. These plans are evaluated as part of the thousands of mobile and internet plans in our database, which have hundreds of updates each month.
