We're just two days away from the launch of three brand new iPhones. You can get your hands on the much anticipated iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air from Friday, September 19.
If you're dropping a small fortune on a brand-new iPhone, then I'm pretty sure some protection – in the form of a phone case and/or screen protector – will be in your basket too. If they're not, I'm seriously questioning your decision making.
Protection on the outside is much needed, but how about some much needed protection on the inside as well?
Getting your hands on one of the best VPNs is an ideal way to protect your new device and its data from anyone who might want to snoop in on it.
As an added bonus, there are some excellent savings to be had on the best iPhone VPNs. Whether you're on a limited budget or happy to splash the cash, we'll help you find the best VPN deal for your new iPhone.
ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN is the best iPhone VPN on the market right now, as well as being the easiest VPN to use. It's also the cheapest price it's ever been thanks to an overhaul of its VPN plans.
ExpressVPN Basic, ExpressVPN Advanced, and ExpressVPN Pro are the three plans available. All include easy-to-use, mobile friendly apps, perfect for use on your new iPhone.
Extra features are included with ExpressVPN Advanced and Pro, but all plans protect your iPhone with post-quantum encryption and class-leading privacy. You'll also have over 3,000 VPN servers in 105 countries to choose from.
Check out our ExpressVPN review for a full breakdown.
Best monthly price:
- ExpressVPN Basic: 2 years + 4 months free: $3.49 per month ($97.72 up front pre-tax)
- ExpressVPN Advanced: 2 years + 4 months free: $4.49 per month ($125.72 up front pre-tax)
- ExpressVPN Pro: 2 years + 4 months free: $7.49 per month ($209.72 up front pre-tax)
NordVPN
NordVPN is our number one VPN overall and it's also a great iPhone VPN. Like ExpressVPN, there's protection for at least 10 devices and class-leading security and privacy.
NordVPN is one of the best streaming VPNs we've tested, unblocking every streaming library we threw at it. Combine this with servers in 126 countries and 900+ Mbps speeds, and you can stream just about anything from anywhere.
Extra features include Double VPN, the obfuscating NordWhisper protocol and Onion over VPN.
Check out our NordVPN review for all the details.
Best monthly price:
- NordVPN Basic: 2 years + 3 months free: $3.09 per month ($83.43 up front pre tax)
- NordVPN Plus: 2 years + 3 months free: $3.99 per month ($107.73 up front pre tax)
- NordVPN Complete: 2 years + 3 months free: $4.99 per month ($134.73 up front pre tax)
- NordVPN Prime: 2 years + 3 months free: $6.99 per month ($188.73 up front pre tax)
Surfshark
Surfshark is the best cheap VPN around, so it's a great choice if you're on a budget.
Low price doesn't mean low quality. Surfshark is fast, performed best out of any VPN in our streaming tests, and has some unique features – including Alternative ID and Bypasser. It's mobile apps aren't quite as simple as ExpressVPN's but they're still very easy-to-use and nicely designed.
Check out our Surfshark review for a feature deep dive.
Best monthly price:
- Surfshark Starter: 2 years + 3 months free: $1.99 per month ($53.73 up front pre tax)
- Surfshark One: 2 years + 3 months free: $2.49 per month ($67.23 up front pre tax)
- Surfshark One+: 2 years + 3 months free: $4.19 per month ($113.13 up front pre tax)
Proton VPN
Proton VPN is one of the most private VPNs. It's open-source, has a verified no-logs audit, and makes privacy it's number one priority.
In the latest round of testing it topped our fastest VPN table, clocking speeds of 1,198 Mbps. Its mobile apps have recently undergone a UI redesign, meaning they're now sleek and easy to navigate.
There's only one tier of plan, so all of its features are included. Secure Core, NetShield, and anti-censorship features are some of what's on offer.
Proton VPN Free is also one of the best free VPNs available.
Our Proton VPN review shares more information about the provider.
Best monthly price:
- Proton VPN: 2 years: $3 per month ($71.93 up front)
PrivadoVPN
PrivadoVPN is about as cheap as it gets for a VPN. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles some of the other providers do, but if you just want a simple yet decent VPN for your new iPhone, you can't go wrong.
You'll see speeds of over 500 Mbps and we encountered very few problems when trying to unblock streaming services. It won't log your data, but does have a smaller server count than most. However, most major locations are covered.
If you want to save even more money, we rate PrivadoVPN Free as the #1 Free VPN out there.
You can read more in our PrivadoVPN review.
Best monthly price:
- PrivadoVPN: 2 years + 3 months free: $1.11 per month ($30 up front)
Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access (PIA) is aimed at the more technical iPhone users. It's highly customizable, super secure and very cheap.
Like ExpressVPN, there's a giant on/off button, making connecting to one of its 10,000+ servers very easy. Its wider app design isn't quite as simple, so if you're a complete beginner, PIA may not be for you.
We rate it as the best VPN for torrenting, and it offers a wide range of protocols, including WireGuard and OpenVPN. It doesn't quite excel in the speed and streaming categories, however.

Best monthly price:
- PIA: 2 years + 2 months free: $2.19 per month ($56.94 up front)
