If you’re looking for an iPhone but don’t have such a deep wallet, the 2020 iPhone SE is the choice for you. You may not get the most recent design, but the hardware can easily last a few more years. It uses the same chip as the iPhone 11 (Pro). And that for a relatively affordable price.
The design corresponds to that of the iPhone 8. This means you get a compact 4.7-inch LCD screen with thick screen edges, but thanks to the glass back you can also charge the iPhone wirelessly. The iPhone also has one camera on the back, just like the iPhone 8. But it can do more: you can shoot portrait photos with a depth effect.
The cheapest way to get the iPhone SE 2020 is currently with a subscription from Vodafone via GSMweb. You then only pay for the device 96 euros. That is a saving of 243 euros. Separately, the iPhone SE 2020 is cheapest via Bol.com, where you pay 339 euros.
2. Best iPhone under 500 euros: iPhone SE 2022 (419 euros)

If you have a little more budget, go for the iPhone SE 2022. It has the A15 Bionic chip under the hood, which is also used by the iPhone 13 (Pro). This makes it even more powerful and energy efficient. So you add a few extra hours to the battery life. Like its older brother, it has a 4.7 inch LCD screen and is easy to operate with one hand.
You still use a single 12-megapixel camera at the back, but you can still take better shots thanks to the A15 processor. The device is also more resistant to the future, because you use 5G when your provider supports it. In addition, you can expect updates to at least iOS 20 or iOS 21, while the 2020 model will probably stop at iOS 18 or iOS 19.
Does this sound like the device for you? You can now purchase it cheapest in combination with a subscription from KPN or Vodafone at GSMweb. You pay now with both providers 288 euros for the iPhone SE 2022. Would you rather buy it as a separate device? Then you are the cheapest at PhoneMarket, where it costs 419 euros.

The iPhone 12, the entry-level model of the 2020 series, is powerful and has the modern look that Apple gives to its smartphones today. In terms of processor, you do take a step back compared to the iPhone SE 2022. Because this device contains the A14 processor. However, you do get an extra camera in return.
With the wide-angle lens you can easily capture wide shots and you can use the impressive night mode. So you can still take good photos in low light. Furthermore, the screen is a bit larger than the previous iPhones we mentioned: 6.1 inches. Thanks to the OLED display, the image looks beautiful.
In combination with a subscription from KPN via Belsimpel, you get the cheapest deal. You pay 149 euros less for the device than if you bought it separately. With the subscription you lay 480 euros down for the smartphone, while as a separate device it now costs 629 euros at Belsimpel.
4. Best iPhone under 1000 euros: iPhone 14 (849 euros)

The iPhone 14 is the most recent entry-level model. The device is equipped with an A15 Bionic chip and a 12-megapixel dual camera. Thanks to the improved selfie camera with autofocus, you can shoot the most beautiful pictures. In addition to the selfie camera, the TrueDepth camera is also equipped with a number of new features.
For example, the improved autofocus ensures super-sharp photos and the ‘Movie mode’ for even sharper videos. By the way, do you shoot videos regularly? The ‘Action mode’ has even better image stabilization than the phone already naturally has. In addition, with the iPhone 14 you can watch your favorite series with a full battery for up to 20 hours.
Purchase the iPhone 14 in combination with a subscription from Vodafone at GSMweb. The smartphone will cost you here 528 euros: a saving of 321 euros.

The very best device that Apple currently has to offer is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s the most powerful iPhone out right now, and that’s because of the A16 Bionic chip powering it all. It is another step faster and more energy efficient. You can also take beautiful snapshots full of detail with the 48-megapixel main camera.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a large smartphone with its 6.7-inch screen. You always see the time on the Always on display, but the iPhone also has the Dynamic Island. Thanks to this ‘dynamic island’ at the top of the screen, you can easily read incoming notifications and control your favorite apps.
At the moment, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the cheapest if you order it via GSMweb. You pay with a subscription from Vodafone 1001 euros for the device. Prefer loose? Then it’s best to knock on PhoneMarket, where it costs 1258 euros.
