iPhone X: Best network deals in the UK and where to buy Apple's new phone

The new handset is in short supply

Pre-orders for the iPhone X went live earlier this morning, but the phone is in very limited supply.

The handset, which costs £999 for 64GB of storage and £1,149 for 256GB, starts shipping to customers on 3 November. However, if you buy it from Apple’s online store now, it won’t get to you until December.

Fortunately, the UK’s major networks and phone retailers are also selling it. Here are some of their best deals.
