With the iPhone 16 Pro Max stealing the title of the biggest and best iPhone on the market, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is still one of the most expensive phones on the market . That's what makes the best iPhone 15 Pro Max plans such an attractive option – letting customers snag the phone without paying thousands upfront.
All that expensive power and performance actually allows the 15 Pro Max – as well as the 15 Pro – to handle Apple Intelligence. And, while it's now been discontinued by Apple in a bid to boost iPhone 16 purchases, if you're looking for the cheapest route to purchase, you can pair it with our best SIM-only plans and snag a deal retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys.
Apple isn't the only one to stop stocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Vodafone is the only telco currently offering it, which is one better than the plans available on the iPhone 15 Pro. Luckily, that one plan is offering quite the deal.
Right now through Vodafone, you can get a AU$150 discount on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as a three months subscription to Binge, one of the best streaming services in Australia.

Other iPhone 15 Pro Max deals
Amazon | Outright from AU$1,949
If you're looking to buy outright, this is the best deal you're likely to find, with Amazon selling the iPhone 15 Pro Max for well under AU$2,000.
JB Hi-Fi is stocking the iPhone 15 Pro Max at the same price.
Vodafone | Trade-in your device and get up to AU$1,200 towards your iPhone 15 Pro Max
While you can only get the maximum value by trading in a device like the iPhone 15 Pro Max itself, taking a few hundred dollars off your new phone by trading in your old one is quite the deal.
Unless a friend or family member has already staked a claim on your old device, trading it in when you upgrade is a sure-fire way to make an expensive purchase a little cheaper. You might not get the full AU$1,400, but any discount on the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a nice one.
Kogan | refurbished iPhone 16 Pro Max phones, from AU$1,519 or AU$1,499 for First members
Kogan sells new devices, but if you're looking to snag a low price on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and don't mind buying second-hand as long as it's in good nick, this might be the avenue for you.
What are the key features for the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
We’ve had plenty of hands-on time with the iPhone 15 Pro Max over the past year, and while it wasn't a massive upgrade over the iPhone 14 Pro Max, it has some very noteworthy changes. First of all, it features a new 5x optical zoom for its telephoto lens – setting it apart from the iPhone 15 Pro's 3x optical zoom – which we were incredibly impressed by in our iPhone 15 Pro Max review.
That's far from the best optical zoom on the market, as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra offers 10x, but even still it's a very welcome addition for Apple loyalists, and it helps you take some incredible snaps. As well as its 12MP telephoto lens that boasts that improved optical zoom, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera array also possesses a 48MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 12MP telephoto with the improved optical zoom.
The 15 Pro Max is also now equipped with Apple’s own A17 Pro chip, which is plenty powerful for even the most serious of gamers. More importantly, while the all-new AI features of Apple Intelligence are coming to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are also strong enough to handle it. Aside from the speed it offers, the A17 Pro has formidable graphics capabilities with Apple showing off console-level gaming at its showing.
