Apple has officially revealed the iPhone 15 family. Plans for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are set to go live at 10pm AEST on Friday the 15th of September. This is where you'll find the cheapest iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max plans available in Australia when they go live.

This year doesn't present a revolutionary upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro. In fact, one major difference this year is that the entire iPhone 15 series comes with last year's sought-after Dynamic Island. But if you're a few generations behind, rocking an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12, the iPhone 15 may present a more appealing upgrade. Here are the cheapest iPhone 15 Pro plans available through Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

Cheapest iPhone 15 Pro plans

Go Pro with Telstra, Optus or Vodafone.

As usual, Vodafone's Small Plan (40GB, unlimited calls and text) is the front-runner as the cheapest plan available for the iPhone 15 Pro 128GB (and every other iPhone 15 Pro plan, to be honest.) Next cheapest the Optus $49 Choice Plan which gets you 30GB of data and unlimited calls and text. Telstra's cheapest plan will cost you a lot more (over $360 more over the length of your plan.)

Cheapest iPhone 15 Pro Max plans

Bigger screen, bigger price tag.

Suprise, it's the same deal with the iPhone 15 Pro Max as it is with the 15 Pro. Vodafone is the cheapest, because it offers the cheapest plans. Optus next, then Telstra. It's just the way things go. This year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be a little more expensive every month but that's only because Apple ditched the cheaper 128GB version and started things with the 256GB model.

iPhone 15 Pro outright pricing

Starting at $1,899 outright.

It's no secret the iPhone 15 Pro series is the pricier sibling to the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. This year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max starts a little pricier again. Why? Because Apple has gone and removed the 128GB option. So anyone who wants Apple's top-line smartphone will need to pay a higher price for admisssion.

iPhone 15 Pro: Starts at $1,899
iPhone 15 Pro Max: Starts at $2,199

Storage	iPhone 15 Pro	iPhone 15 Pro Max	iPhone 15	iPhone 15 Plus
