iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max plans and deals from Optus
Optus has two offers, and you can pick whichever suits you best. Plus, if you sign up through Finder, you'll score an extra $250 gift card on top.
There's no catch - just create a free Finder account and you're set.
Now, back to Optus's offers. The first is simple: sign up to a 12-, 24- or 36-month iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max repayment plan, trade in an eligible device, and you'll get the credit as a Mastercard gift card.
Alternatively, buy the new iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max and pair it with its $79 Promo SIM-only plan to get a bonus value of up to $780.
Here's the breakdown:
- The Promo plan, already discounted before launch, now gets an extra $10 price cut. That means you'll pay $59 a month for the first 12 months and save $120.
- You'll also get Upgrade and Protect for free (usually $15 a month). On a 36-month plan, that adds up to $540 in bonus value.
- Plus, the offer includes up to $120 in credit over 12 months to spend on streaming subscriptions through Optus SubHub.
If you're curious about the minimum monthly repayments, let's assume you're pairing your iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max with Optus's cheapest SIM-only plan, which costs $55 a month for 50GB.
Based on this, your starting costs will look like:
iPhone 17 Pro plans
- iPhone 17 Pro (256GB): From $110.53 over 36 months
- iPhone 17 Pro (512GB): From $121.62 over 36 months
- iPhone 17 Pro (1TB): From $132.74 over 36 months

iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max plans deals from Vodafone
Vodafone has some interesting offers in play for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max sale.
- Get $200 bonus trade-in credit. For instance, if you trade in a working iPhone 15 Pro Max (1TB), you could get up to $1,000. With the bonus credit, the total credit amount can work up to $1,200.
- If you pair any of the iPhone 17 Pro models with Vodafone's newly launched $79 Promo SIM-only plan, you'll receive a $1,200 credit. But you need to stay signed up to a 36-month plan as the credit will be applied as $33.34 each month. Leaving early will mean forfeiting the remainder of the credit.
Now that you have an overview of the offers, let's look at the minimum repayment costs for the iPhone 17 Pro models.
We'll pair them with Vodafone's cheapest SIM-only plan, which starts at $45 a month for the first 12 months before increasing to $53 a month ongoing. The plan includes 50GB of data per month.
Based on this, your starting costs will look like:

iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max plans and deals from Telstra
Telstra's offering a $300 bonus trade-in credit if you get the iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
For example, trading in an iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB in good working condition will get you $1,500 in trade-in credit (including the bonus offer). If you're quoted a better trade-in value, it'll match it.
Separately, it's also knocked $240 off its Premium Upfront Mobile Plan over 12 months.
So, keen to sign up with Telstra?
You'll need to sign up for a 12, 24 or 36-month phone repayment plan and pair it with a SIM-only plan. The cheapest one costs $70 a month for 50GB.
