Giffgaff has cut up to £308 off the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, but stock is running low as Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 18 series in September. The current range has already started plummeting in price, with less than 20 units of the 17 Pro remaining in stock.
Giffgaff deals on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
At giffgaff, the most affordable option is the iPhone 17 Pro 256GB, which has a £100 discount on the handset at £29.28 per month and £25 upfront. When combined with giffgaff's unlimited data SIM for £14 (was £25), this comes to £43.28 per month over 36 months, a total discount of £298. The 17 Pro is available in Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue and Silver.

Sky Mobile and Amazon alternatives
Elsewhere, prices are lower at Sky Mobile, where the iPhone 17 Pro is now £31.50 when spreading the cost with a 36-month contract, plus £12 upfront. However, this only comes with a small 100MB data allowance unless opting for a larger plan at additional cost.
For those preferring to buy outright, Amazon has reduced the iPhone 17 Pro to £999 and the Pro Max to £1,099 (was £1,199). The Pro models are Apple's most powerful iPhones ever, powered by the latest A19 Pro chip that makes it roughly 50% faster than the iPhone 15 Pro.
Features and review highlights
They also offer a long-lasting battery that delivers up to 37 hours of video playback on the 6.3” or 6.9” Super Retina XDR display. The cameras have been upgraded with a 48MP Pro Fusion system to capture super-high-resolution photos and videos in 4K Dolby Vision. There is also a range of innovative AI features with Apple Intelligence and a tough aluminium frame with Ceramic Shield that's three times more scratch-resistant than the 15 Pro.
Technology Editor David Snelling penned a glowing review for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max when they launched last year, awarding them a perfect five stars. “The new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max pack quite a punch,” he said. “They finally look different, get improved processing, longer battery life and will keep cooler under pressure.
“The cameras are superb, the screens are sharp, and they offer bonus extras such as professional video recording. If you love Pro devices, this is definitely a year to upgrade as the changes are pretty dramatic over previous models.”
However, he also criticised the cost, adding: “Just remember that these are now more expensive and the cheaper iPhone 17 has had a major upgrade this year. There's no question that 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are the ultimate iPhones, just be prepared to pay a premium to have one in your pocket.”
