NOTE: The iPhone X is no longer available from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone as of September 2019. If you wish to purchase this device, you will need to buy the device outright either from retailers which still have stock or second hand. You can then pair your device with a SIM-only phone plan.
While the iPhone X is now a couple years old, there are still some plans floating around. Pronounced the ‘ten’, the X starts at just under $1,500 outright, which you could then theoretically bundle with a SIM-only plan, but if that figure is a tough pill to swallow then a phone on a plan may be a bit easier on the hip pocket.
It’s worth noting that Apple has discontinued the iPhone X (after the release of the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR), so finding an iPhone X on a plan is increasingly difficult unless you’re happy with the entry-level 64GB model.
SIM-only plans
As the iPhone X is no longer available, if you purchase this device outright, you’ll need a SIM-only plan to bundle with your phone. Here is a selection of postpaid SIM-only plans as published on Canstar Blue’s database, with a minimum of 10GB of data, listed in order of standard cost, lowest to highest, then by data allowance, largest to smallest.

Is an iPhone X plan worth it?
Considering that iPhone X phones start at around $1,500 and stocks are now limited as Apple have discontinued this model, buying outright is now your only option, and you’ll need to bundle with your own cheap SIM-only plan. If you can stomach the high upfront cost, purchasing outright is a viable option; but this obviously varies with your own needs, so you should do your own research. Even if the iPhone X was your phone of choice, there are plenty of other iPhones still available from these telcos, so you might want to look into other iPhone models to see if there is a device to suit your needs.
