The best iPhone 8 Plus deals and UK contracts in March 2020
Apple has a notorious nature of making some of the most expensive devices around. But due to its age, iPhone 8 Plus deals have bucked that trend slightly. Taking everything that was great about the iPhone 8 and making it bigger, this will be a phone for many.
After a good few new releases including the extortionate iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone XS, iPhone 8 Plus deals have been slowly dropping into the realms of affordability.
Now, it is quite easy to get a contract around the £30 a month mark and if you’re willing to do some digging and pay a bit more upfront, even the mid £20s. And the same goes for SIM-free where prices have reached an excellent low point.
But while both the age and cost would give you the idea that this isn’t a great phone, it is the complete opposite of that. It might not have all the bells and whistles of Apple’s latest and greatest but it shines where it needs to.
With a 2691mAh battery. a dual camera set-up, IP67 water protection and a surprisingly powerful processor for its age. And, at 5.5-inches, this is the kind of device you can easily use one-handed
Still feeling a bit overwhelmed by these prices? Don’t forget that iPhone 8 deals are also available if you’d prefer the smaller smartphone, along with the smaller prices. And you can save £10 on the upfront cost of any iPhone 8 Plus deal at Mobiles.co.uk by using the voucher code 10OFF at the checkout.
iPhone 8 Plus price: how much does it cost?
A mighty £699. That’s how much the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus will cost you in the UK according to the RRP. That might seem like a lot but that’s one hundred pounds cheaper than when it first came out.
Need more memory? Then your only other option is spending an extra £150 and grabbing a £849 256GB iPhone 8 Plus.
If you opt to buy the iPhone 8 Plus upfront without a contract you will save money in the long run, but of course £699 is a lot of money to pay. If you can afford it though it the way to go once you pair it with a cheap SIM only deal.
iPhone 8 Plus review in brief
Cheap and brilliant, but not quite 2019 level
Screen size: 5.5-inches | Resolution: 1080 x 1920 | Rear camera: 12MP | Weight: 202g | OS: iOS 11 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 64GB/256GB | External storage: No | Battery: 2675mAh
Great camera
Premium look and feel

Lacks the pizzazz of newer iPhones
This is the iPhone you want if you can’t quite afford the iPhone XR or iPhone 11. It’s got the larger battery, same powerful innards and strong camera. If you don’t mind the poorer screen, it’s a good option – and the screen is still a beaut. And we prefer it quite a lot more to the regular iPhone 8.
