EE Offers Record Low Price for iPhone 17 Pro Amid January Sales

The price of Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro has significantly dropped as retailers begin their January sales. Notably, the mobile network operator EE has introduced what it describes as the “best ever price” for this flagship device. Customers can now acquire the iPhone 17 Pro for just £32.29 per month alongside EE’s 150GB Essentials tariff, which has also seen a reduction from £37 to £29 per month. This effectively amounts to a total savings of £192 over a 24-month contract.

Under this plan, the total monthly payment for the iPhone 17 Pro is £61.29, with an initial payment of £30. Additionally, EE is offering up to £480 to customers who trade in their old devices. For users requiring more data, select plans provide unlimited data options and perks such as complimentary subscriptions to Apple TV or Apple Music, with EE’s Unlimited All Rounder plan available for an additional £13 per month.

Sky’s Competitive Offer for iPhone 17 Pro

In a competitive move, Sky has also launched its own iPhone 17 Pro deal during January sales. The device is available for £34 per month with an upfront cost of £12. However, this plan includes a more limited data allowance of only 100MB, which may not suffice for many users. Customers who require more data can upgrade to options ranging from 1GB for £5 to unlimited data for £22.

Both EE and Sky’s deals apply to the 256GB version of the iPhone 17 Pro, which is offered in three color choices: Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver. For consumers considering a direct purchase, the iPhone 17 Pro is priced similarly across various retailers, with both Amazon and Argos listing it at £1,099.

Impressive Features of the iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 Pro is being hailed as Apple’s most powerful smartphone yet. Key features include a 6.3-inch display, the new A19 Pro chip, and a 48MP camera, all of which contribute to its reputation as a top-tier device. David Snelling, the Technology Editor at the Daily Express, praised the device following its launch in California in September, awarding it a five-star review.

He highlighted the phone’s superior processing capabilities, longer battery life, and enhanced cooling efficiency under load. Snelling noted that the A19 Pro chip is approximately 50 percent faster than the A17 Pro chip found in the previous iPhone 15 Pro model. This increase in processing power typically results in improved battery performance, allowing the device to last throughout the day and beyond.

The camera system in the iPhone 17 Pro has undergone significant enhancements, featuring three 48MP lenses for main, telephoto, and ultra-wide photography. Users can also enjoy a ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate, designed to provide better outdoor visibility.

Despite its impressive features, Snelling remarked on the new pricing structure, pointing out that the iPhone 17 Pro starts at £1,099, which is £300 more than the standard iPhone 17. He suggested that consumers might also consider the iPhone Air for a slimmer alternative, noting that while the cheaper iPhone 17 has received significant upgrades this year, the price of premium devices continues to rise.

As January sales progress, consumers will be keen to weigh the advantages of each offer as they seek the best value for the latest technology from Apple.
