iPhone 5 Plans in Australia

The iPhone 5 is here and available on major carriers in Australia, or available outright as a purchase from Apple and you can use a SIM only plan with a new nano-sim. 

The iPhone 5 features:

  • 4G LTE for Australia which will run on Optus, Telstra and Virgin Mobile. 
  • 4 Inch screen (diagonal) and a slightly taller physical design, but the same width as iPhone 4S. 
  • Similar camera specs but still best photos and video in market, with improvements in the way images are taken and processed and improvements in low light. 
  • iOS6
  • It's thinner, faster and has a brushed aluminium back. 

iPhone 4S Plans in Australia

The iPhone 4S is still a stand out smartphone and will be remain available for sale with all major carriers. Importantly, the iPhone 4S can run the latest version of Apple's operating system, iOS 6, which is the operating system that is shippped with the latest iPhone 5. See this guide on iOS6 for what's new. 

iPhone 4S Plan Availability

The iPhone 4S is available from all the major carriers. Smaller resellers like Crazy John's, Dodo and TransACT don't have the iPhone available. iPhone 4S plans are available from:

Comparing iPhone 5 & iPhone 4S

For a new iPhone shopper, the iPhone 5 stands out as a superior device in many ways. We'll be doing a more detailed analysis to compare the difference between both models so that you can choose the price point on a plan that suits you, however if you've got the budget, you'll love the 4G speeds of the iPhone 5, the improvements in the camera and the faster performance of the processor. Both phones feature an 8 megapixel camera and dual core processor.

Both iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 models offer

  • Siri - Voice controlled personal assistant.
  • Camera - 8 Megapixel (iPhone 5 offers improvements in low light)
  • Dual Core Processor
  • iO6 operating system (iPhone 4S upgradeable to iOS6)

iPhone Buyers Super Guide - Everything You Need to Know

Let's face it, we all need a little help or another in selecting the right iPhone model for us and picking the best plans for our needs.

We've created this super guide to help you get everything that you need to know upfront before you make a decision. There's a lot to know and making a rewarding choice with an iPhone on a 24 mont contract requires a little education up front. We'll be doing our best to keep you up to date with all the key decision factors and there's probably never enough iPhone plan information. 


iPhone 5 - The New iPhone 5 in Detail

We've looked at the iPhone 5 in detail, with a focus on the new 4G LTE connectivity for iPhone 5, the new iPhone 5 Hardware (processor and graphics), the new Lightning adaptor (yes, there is a new adaptor), the new iPhone Camera improvements and what that means for photos and panoramic shots, the upgrades to Siri, and the new Apple Maps. Read more here...


iOS 6 - The New Operating System for iPhones

If you've got an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S you'll be able to upgrade to the latest and greatest operating system for the iPhone, iOS 6. This update features updated Apple maps (replacing Google Maps), deeper Facebook integration and better privacy options for incoming calls. There's improvements to Mail and Safari. The ability to upgrade the operating system on your existing iPhone at your own time is one of the unique features supported by Apple. Read more about what you can get here...


Plan Changes - iPhone 5 Plans and the New TCP Code for Australian Consumers

The launch of the iPhone 5 coincides with one of the most extensive updates that we've had to the way that carriers must market their plans. Going forward you're going to get alerts from carriers when you reach levels of usage at 50%, 85% and 100% of your inclued value. Importantly, the usage amounts quoted and the price of a standard text message that is published for Australian plans does NOT include any usage of iMessage which is where you send a text message to another iPhone and is essentially free and not charged at standard text message rates (you'll need iOS5 and above for this feature). There's also a range of spend management apps for iPhone from Optus, Telstra and Vodafone which allow you to monitor your usage, however these are not going to prevent overspending, just like a speedo in your car won't stop you at 100kmh so you need to keep your eyes on your usage. We've examined exactly what is changing - read more about the iPhone Plans and What You Need Know or read more about the specific TCP Code changes here

How Many Minutes? Comparing Plans for the Most Minutes Available

Australian iPhone plans have included value amounts which are published in dollar value amounts and it is hard for consumers to compare what the plans actually offer in real terms. We've developed a graphical tool to convert all of these values to minutes and to compare plans by the minutes that they offer you each month. We call it the plan visualiser. Click on the phone model to compare the available minutes in each plan:

We calculate the available minutes in each plan based on the estimated call lenght that you tell us and the amount of text messages that you make each month. 


iPhone 4S - Previously Reviewed in Detail

The iPhone 4S 16GB is still available for purchase in Australia and we did an extensive review of this phone last year. Check out the review if you are thinking of getting the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5. Please note that we reviewed the iPhone 4S when it launced and this was running the iOS5 operating system and the iPhone 4S is now upgradeable to iOS6. Read our iPhone 4S review here
