Frequently asked questions

Which has better battery life?

Our sheet rates the iPhone 15 Pro Max for up to 29 hours of video versus 23 hours for the other.

Should I pay in full or monthly?

Paying in full gives you the phone with no contract and no bill credits. Monthly plans spread the cost over a term, often with credits tied to a plan, so the real cost depends on how long you stay. Compare both tables on this page, and see how we treat $0 offers on our deals page.
