Cheap iPhone UK 2026 - Best Current Pick

This guide has been refreshed again because PhonesOutlet now has a live cheap iPhone option under £100. The current pick is the Apple iPhone SE 2020 at £95.

The live unit is in Superb condition with 64GB storage, unlocked network support and 82% battery health. That makes it a sensible choice if you want iOS, Touch ID and a compact phone without moving into mid-range Android pricing.

Best cheap iPhone right now: Apple iPhone SE 2020

The Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the iPhone to check first while it remains available. At £95, it sits below the usual price of many refurbished iPhones and still gives you Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, wireless charging and a familiar home-button design.

The main trade-off is size and age. The iPhone SE 2020 is compact, so it is easy to carry, but it will not suit shoppers who want a large screen for video or gaming. Battery health is listed at 82% on this unit, which is acceptable for a budget refurbished iPhone but worth noting if you are a heavy user.

Who should buy it?

Buy this iPhone SE if you want a low-cost Apple phone for calls, WhatsApp, banking, maps, photos and everyday apps. It is also a good fit for a spare phone, a first iPhone, or someone who prefers Touch ID over Face ID.

If you want a bigger display or more storage, check the live refurbished iPhones category first. Refurbished iPhone stock is limited, so the exact model mix can change quickly.

If this iPhone sells

Do not rely on old blog links once a unit sells. If this iPhone SE is no longer available, compare the current live iPhone range and then check phones under £200 if you simply need the best value phone today.
