- Apple now only sells the iPhone 16 at a reduced price in a 128 GB option
- The iPhone 16 Plus always has the 256 GB model
- But I don’t think it’s a good deal …
After the launch of the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and the iPhone Air, Apple abandoned the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max – and it updated the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. However, there is a capture at this discount: you can only get the first in its basic storage option of 128 GB.
The old-fashioned professional phones was essentially pre-ordered because Apple always does it when it launches new phones. Just like the drop in prices for standard models and more iPhone 16.
But with the iPhone 16 falling at $ 699 / £ 699 / $ 1,1249 to a starting price of $ 799 / £ 799 / $ 1,399 to, and most obtaining a new fixing piece of $ 799 / £ 799 £ / $ 1,399 to you can consider the discounts.
Compared, the new iPhone 17 starts at $ 799 / £ 799 / $ 1,399 at and offers a multitude of upgrades, such as a 120 Hz promotion screen and a new melting camera system, not much more.
Add that your only option for Apple’s iPhone 16 is the 128 GB model, and it doesn’t look like a super complicated purchase. This is one of the reasons why before the Apple event of September 9, I advised people not to buy a new iPhone until we saw what the iPhone 17 has to offer.
Although I think that 128 GB of storage on board is not too stingy if you are notified with your photo management and which applications you download, when you take into account the upgrades offer iPhone 17 and its 256 GB starting storage capacity, I do not think that the latest generation phone has a lot of attraction.
Go elsewhere for a good deal
There is a setback on this story, namely that third -party retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Argos, Currys and Walmart will most likely have iPhone 16 Pro models in stock that they will want to change either before the launch of new iPhones on September 19, or before the holiday season.
So I suggest you get these retailers if you want to score an iPhone Pro for less, or consult our guide on the best iPhone deals.
Likewise, if you can wait a handful of weeks, we will soon enter a period where retailers are starting to reduce their products before Black Friday, which is less a day and more a week of reduction on technology and more.
And Cyber Monday who follows Black Friday is sure I have good attractive technology deals, and I would be very confident in the iPhone 16 pro models among them, assuming actions last.
