It's September, and you know what that means. It's iPhone time! After Apple unveiled the devices earlier this week, Australia's carriers have announced their pricing plans for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Sorry y'all, no iPhone X pricing just yet.

Telstrais as usual the most pricey. Their offerings start at AU$89 per month and go up to an eye-watering AU$199. All of Telstra's offerings are below, with the company putting emphasis on its XXL 60GB plans, which are discounted for now.

Optus is offering several special deals in an effort to swipe some more customers, including discounts on some plans and extra data on others. With Optus, AU$105 a month will get you a 64GB iPhone 8 Plus while just AU$5 less per month will get you a smaller iPhone 8 with the same amount of storage and data.

If none of these plans tickle your fancy, you may want to look to Virgin Mobile's inexpensive offers. With Virgin, you'll be able to get an iPhone 8 from AU$69 a month and an iPhone 8 Plus from AU$75 per month.

Not keen to pay for a plan and would rather buy your phone outright? Here's the comprehensive guide for you.
