Black Friday is a great time to bag yourself an upgrade on your ageing smartphone, but not everyone has hundreds to drop on a phone – even during big sale events like this.
But that’s where contracts come in, spreading the cost across a set period of time to make things more manageable – and they’re where you’ll find the best Black Friday deals.
Take this iPhone 17 offer from Fonehouse; you can get the iPhone 17 on Vodafone with 230GB of data for only £42 per month with £45 upfront as part of its Black Friday offering. It’s a two-year contract, and you’ll get the 256GB model in any colourway you like, from the understated black finish to the more eye-catching Sage.

And, as an added bonus, Fonehouse’s Black Friday promise means that if you find a cheaper deal elsewhere post-purchase, it’ll refund the difference.
The iPhone 17 is probably the easiest base-level iPhone to recommend in years too, with Apple fixing many long-time complaints with the latest model.
Elements like the aged 60Hz refresh rate have finally been addressed, with Apple rolling out the previously Pro-exclusive 120Hz ProMotion tech to the entry-level model for a super-smooth, responsive scrolling experience that also translates well to games.
It also sports the same upgraded front-facing 18MP camera as the rest of the iPhone 17 collection. It’s not just a new sensor either; it sports a unique square sensor that allows the iPhone to capture both landscape and portrait selfies without actually rotating the phone.
Combined with Apple’s auto-tracking tech keeping you front and centre in selfies and video calls, it’s easily the biggest selfie camera upgrade in years.

The rear-facing cameras still miss out on the zoom lens of the Pro models, but the dual 48MP main and ultrawide offering should be more than enough for all but the most camera-obsessed among us, with decent 2x performance using in-sensor zoom. And, of course, it continues to excel in video capture, one of the key areas that Apple leads over the Android competition.
You’re getting flagship-level performance from the Apple A19 chipset, and the boosted 256GB base-level storage means that you won’t need to delete any photos to make space for new apps any time soon.
There’s also an overhaul on the software front in the form of iOS 26, giving this year’s flagship a fresh feel outside and in, along with upgraded Apple Intelligence functionality – even if it’s not exclusive to the iPhone 17.
Battery life also stands out this year, with Apple claiming a big boost in longevity compared to the iPhone 16. The new model can last up to 30 hours when streaming video according to Apple, an eight-hour jump over the 22 hours of the iPhone 16, along with faster 40W charging that should get your phone charged faster than ever.
It really is the easiest iPhone to recommend in years, and with such a tempting offer from Fonehouse, it should be of serious consideration for Apple fans this Black Friday.
