Anyone who has been thinking about making the jump and buying the iPhone 16 might want to take a trip to Sky’s website. The TV and telecoms firm is currently dishing out this flagship device at its ‘lowest ever’ price and it’s certainly making things appear a little more affordable. Thanks to its “Week of Treats” promotion, Apple fans can now pop the latest and greatest call maker from Cupertino into their online shopping basket and pay just £22 per month for the device.
Sky has even scrapped any upfront fees which means there’s nothing to pay when ordering.
Of course, that £22 per month price doesn’t include any calls, data or texts, but Sky has plenty of options, including 3GB of data for an extra £6 or 50GB for £12.
That means the total price could be as low as £28.
YOU CAN SEE THE iPHONE DEAL HERE
Before you tap that ‘buy’ button, there are some things to be aware of.
Firstly, you will need to sign up for a 36-month contract (although you can switch the phone after 24 months if you want).
This means the total price for the iPhone 16 – over 3 years – with 3GB of data is £1,009. If you buy this call maker directly from Apple you’ll pay £799 without a SIM.
Express.co.uk has had a look around and providers such as SMARTY are currently offering 8GB of data for £7. If you pay that cost for three years and add it to the price of the iPhone the total price is £1,051.
That’s compared to a total cost of £1,009 via Sky’s deal, which is slightly cheaper.
The only downside to Sky’s plan is that you are tied in for a long period and you can get more than double the data for almost the same price if you opt for a SIM-only deal.
Should you upgrade to the iPhone 16?
As you can read in our full iPhone 16 review, this is a top-rated device that gets plenty of upgrades. Those switching get a Super Retina XDR display, impressive A18 processor, decent dual-lens camera and long batter life.
It’s also made of tough stuff and comes in a number of fruity colours, including Ultramarine, Teal and Pink.
On the side of the case is also the addition of the Camera Control button, which lets you snap images without touching the screen.
The iPhone 16 is also one of the only devices that is compatible with Apple Intelligence. This means it can write emails, sort inboxes and retouch photos automatically.
