iPhone 15 Pro - Better to buy direct or 'upgrade' existing deal

I'm currently on a Sim only deal with EE (around £25 a month with loads of data I never get near to using)

I have an iPhone 11 

I want to upgrade to iPhone 15 Pro - what is the best way?

EE are offering me upgrade offers etc (new contract)

Or should I just buy from Apple on 2 years interest free repayment?

    Apple every time for me, I don't use much data so why should I pay for what I don't use

    Currently on sim only deal all inclusive minutes and texts 3Gig of Data £5 a month
  • £5! - where did you get that deal? I'm on £25 a month with EE and get £160 gig but only use about £5.

    With apple do you trade in your old? (and pay monthly?)

    Buying direct will mean you don't get price increases mid-contract.
    Plenty of sim deals around for £5-£8 depending on what your coverage is like.
  • get from apple direct, explore a cheaper sim contract especially considering you're using much less than 160gb. Lebara have some ridiculous 5G sim only deals if you catch it at the right time :)

    If you can afford ti buy the phone outright then I think that always works cheaper. Could always try and negotaite a good deal with EE if you are a loyal customer.
