Apple fans go wild for £17p/m iPhone XS contract from O2

We’ve just spotted a ridiculously cheap iPhone plan that’s proving popular with shoppers.

You can pick up a refurbished Apple iPhone XS from O2 for £17 per month and £0 upfront.

The iPhone XS was released in 2018 and is now a superb budget option for Apple lovers

At the time of writing, a caption on the Mobile Phones Direct website states that ’55 [iPhone XS have been] sold in the last few days.’

Clearly, despite its six-year vintage, the iPhone XS is a handset that’s still incredibly popular with buyers.

This is a refurbished model that’s marked as ‘as new’, and O2 has doubled the data allowance from 5GB to 10GB.

Don’t forget that the iPhone X line marked the generation when Apple gave its smartphones a huge redesign – so the XS is still what you’d call a contemporary-looking iPhone.

It’s got Face ID rather than Touch ID, the controversial sensor ‘notch’ that was introduced with the X, plus a large and bezel-free display.

The iPhone XS is all but identical to the iPhone X, but has a more powerful chipset inside.

Production ceased on this smartphone back in 2018, so the only way to get hold of it now is by going the refurbished route.
