The iPhone 13 is available from Logitel with 70 gigabytes of data and a free AirTag. The tariff only costs 44.99 euros per month and initially you only pay one euro for the device. A good offer or is there a catch? In the following, we will tell you in the tariff check whether the conclusion is worthwhile.
When I was looking for mobile phone contracts for our tariff check, I stumbled across a surprisingly good offer for the iPhone 13! The latest Apple smartphone is available with 128 gigabytes of storage space and an Apple AirTag for a deposit of €1. You secure a 5G contract from Vodafone with a generous 70 gigabytes of data volume. However, only if you have already concluded certain contracts with Vodafone or Unitymedia. If not, you can also take advantage of the contract with less data volume and low additional costs.
The offer for 1 euro with 70 gigabytes of data volume is part of Vodafone’s SmartXL campaign, where you get additional data volume. The first limitation of the offer is that you can only take the iPhone 13 (for testing) in the rose color variant. There is a free Apple AirTag worth 29.99 euros. Let’s take a close look at all the numbers.
iPhone 13 with Vodafone SmartXL in tariff check
As already mentioned, according to the offer, you only pay a deposit of one euro. Hidden are shipping costs of 7.99 euros, which you can certainly cope with. Especially since the campaign can be combined with Vodafone’s 100 euro starting credit, which is available via the MeinVodafone app. The monthly costs are 44.99 euros for 24 months, there is no staggering.
The catch with the Logitel offer, however, is that the 70 gigabytes of data volume are only available to you if you are already a Vodafone DSL, Cable or Unitymedia customer. Otherwise there is no data volume upgrade and you can only surf 6 gigabytes per month.

At the moment, the iPhone 13 in pink with 128 GB of internal memory costs 825 euros online. An Apple AirTag costs 29.99 euros. The Vodafone contract does not exist in this way with the mobile phone provider, so a comparison with the regular contract costs is difficult. However, calculated over two years, you pay just 159 euros more than you would buy an iPhone 13 including AirTag in January. The campaign is really worthwhile because there is a mobile phone contract with 70 gigabytes of data volume.
Whether you can make friends with the pink version of the iPhone is of course up to you. A cover does not completely cover the back, since the camera module remains completely free in most models. So you can always see that there is actually a pink iPhone behind the case.
What do you think of the deal? Would you get an iPhone 13 if you could save money doing it? Let us know!
