From the bar to the library, iPhones are a great device for any uni student. They look smart, are straightforward to navigate and have lots of helpful tools built in. Plus, with new models released every year, it's possible to pick up a device for a decent price.

iPhone apps and settings which are particularly helpful for students include:

  • Screen time monitoring and limits to help you control your social media habits
  • Focus mode which controls notifications to stop you getting distracted
  • Notes or Freeform apps which allow you to scan documents, draw or type quickly and easily, so even if you forget your paper pad, you can get everything down. Plus, if you have a Mac or iPad, you can sync them to your device easily later on
  • Voice dictation means you can store any thoughts and record lectures or seminars then transcribe them
  • Translator and digital dictionaries which help you write better essays, find the right words and avoid repetition
  • Apple Pay, which means you only have to take your phone on a night out, lightwork!

So whether you’re already a convert or fancy switching to the Apple side of life, there are lots of discounted iPhone contracts students can benefit from.
