Apple’s most recent iPhone model is now available at its lowest price ever as the company gears up to introduce a new addition to its smartphone series. The discounted offer is currently offered by Sky Mobile, allowing customers to purchase the iPhone 16e for just £18.
The price drop coincides with Apple’s announcement of a live stream event scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, during which the highly anticipated iPhone 17 is expected to be unveiled. In a message posted by Apple CEO Tim Cook on X, he hinted at an exciting event, saying, “Get ready for an awe-inspiring #AppleEvent on Tuesday, September 9.”
While specific details remain undisclosed, viewers tuning in to the stream can anticipate the reveal of the updated iPhone 17 Pro and the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Similar to Apple’s iPad Air and MacBook Air, this new model is likely to be a more compact and sleek version of the smartphone.
As tech enthusiasts eagerly await the launch of the new Apple devices, Sky Mobile’s latest promotion makes the current model even more budget-friendly. The iPhone 16e, previously priced at £19 under a payment plan, is now available for £18, resulting in a total savings of £48 over the contract’s duration.
The phone comes with a standard 100MB data allowance, but users requiring more data can benefit from discounted rates on other plans, including 50GB for £12 and unlimited data for £20. Sky’s typical smartphone contracts run for 36 months, but customers have the option to upgrade to a new device from 24 months without incurring additional charges.
The iPhone 16e is now more affordable than ever on Sky Mobile, offering a significant £48 saving with the latest price reduction.
For just £18 per month, Apple enthusiasts can now purchase the premium iPhone 16e at a reduced cost.
Ahead of the Apple event, not only Sky Mobile but also Amazon has slashed prices on the iPhone 16e, dropping the price from £599 to £544 for those opting to purchase outright. This deal surpasses Apple’s own retail price of £599 for the same model.
Introduced in February, the iPhone 16e was designed as a more cost-effective variant of the standard iPhone 16, offering impressive capabilities powered by Apple’s latest A18 chip.
Featuring a 6.1” Super Retina XDR display and advanced AI functionalities through Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16e includes notable features such as object removal in images, ChatGPT writing tools, a 48MP Fusion camera, 4K video recording with Dolby Vision, and safety features like Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance.
Technology Editor Dave Snelling, who tested the iPhone 16e earlier this year, praised the device’s premium design, highlighting its Ceramic Shield glass and aerospace-grade aluminum construction. He also commended the device’s powerful A18 processor, which provides fast performance and access to Apple Intelligence.
Despite its strengths, Dave noted some drawbacks of the iPhone 16e, including the absence of features like Apple’s Dynamic Island notch, MagSafe charging, and the latest Ceramic Shield glass found in Apple’s higher-end models.
If these additional features are not essential, Dave suggested that the iPhone 16e is a worthwhile option, especially considering the current promotional offers available.
