**New iPhone**

The new iPhone 6 is being advertised as bigger than bigger. Described by TechRadar as "one of the best mobile phones Apple has ever created” it has a new design and a host of new features.

![iPhone6-Press](https://info.jola.co.uk/hs-fs/hub/428629/file-2020596352.jpg?width=155&name=file-2020596352.jpg "iPhone6-Press")

**Cost**

In terms of cost you are looking at £539 for the 16GB version, £619 for the 64GB option and £699 for the 128GB model. On a contract these start at around £45 per month, with roughly £100 for the phone up front.

**Push back**

Demand is high both from consumers and in the workplace but company bosses are starting to push back as their mobile bills are pushed up. Bottom draws have been filling up with perfectly serviceable mobile handsets as employees demand new and unnecessarily expensive mobile phones. The message from management is “I’ll pay for the airtime but if you want the latest iPhone then buy it yourself”.

**SIM-only deals**

There are now a host of all-in SIM only deals perfect for companies that want employees on the corporate mobile contract but are sick of paying for hardware and tired of being trapped in long-term contracts. [Jola](https://info.jola.co.uk/blog/5-reasons-why-jola-is-1-in-mobile-business-communications) currently have the best Vodafone SIM deal in the UK, available without a contract.
