Apple’s most recent iPhone model has now reached its lowest price ever in anticipation of the upcoming launch of a new smartphone by the brand. Sky Mobile is offering a special deal where customers can purchase the iPhone 16e for just £18.
The discounted price 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. Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted at the event’s excitement in a social media post.
While specific details remain undisclosed, viewers tuning into the live stream might catch a glimpse of the updated iPhone 17 Pro and the rumored iPhone 17 Air, which is anticipated to follow the trend of Apple’s other “Air” products with a sleeker and more compact design.
Tech enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the new Apple releases can take advantage of Sky Mobile’s reduced pricing for the current model. The iPhone 16e, previously available at £19 when spread out over the plan’s duration, is now offered at £18, resulting in a total savings of £48 over the contract period.
The device comes with a standard 100MB data allowance, with the option to upgrade to larger data plans at discounted rates, such as 50GB for £12 or unlimited data for £20. Sky Mobile’s phone contracts typically run for 36 months, with the flexibility for customers to upgrade to a new device at no extra cost after 24 months.
The iPhone 16e is now more affordable than ever on Sky Mobile, allowing Apple enthusiasts to save £48 with the current price drop. For a monthly fee of £18, customers can enjoy the premium features of the iPhone 16e at a discounted rate.
In addition to Sky Mobile’s offer, Amazon has also reduced the price of the iPhone 16e from £599 to £544 for those opting to purchase the device outright, undercutting Apple’s own price of £599 for the same model.
Introduced in February, the iPhone 16e serves as a budget-friendly alternative to the standard iPhone 16, boasting powerful capabilities powered by Apple’s latest A18 chip. The device features a 6.1” Super Retina XDR display, AI functionalities through Apple Intelligence, and a range of camera and safety features.
Technology Editor Dave Snelling, who tested the iPhone 16e earlier, praised the device’s premium design and powerful A18 processor. However, he noted some lacking features compared to higher-end models, concluding that the iPhone 16e offers a compelling option, especially given the current offers available.
