Best Apple iPhone 16 deals in the US

Apple iPhone 16 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, cheap accessories, and $200 at AT&T

Apple iPhone 16 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in, cheap accessories, and $200 at AT&T
AT&T's iPhone 16 deals remain incredibly strong as we head into the New Year - helped in no small manner by the fact that the carrier still has seasonal deals you can check out. For example, not only can you get a massive trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 on the Pro devices right now but AT&T is also throwing in an iPad and Apple Watch for just $0.99 per month each as well as $200 in bill credits. All in all, a strong option with the only serious caveat being that an unlimited plan is required - and you need to pay a little each month extra for the accessory cellular lines.

Apple iPhone 16 Plus: $11/mo with an unlimited plan, plus cheap accessories and $200 at AT&T

Apple iPhone 16 Plus: $11/mo with an unlimited plan, plus cheap accessories and $200 at AT&T
A slight exception to the above iPhone 16 deals at AT&T is the carrier's current promotion on the iPhone 16 Plus. Right now, you don't even need to trade-in to get this device for just $10.99 alongside an unlimited data plan - and you can also get those cheap accessories and seasonal $200 bonus. This is easily the strongest deal if you're not looking to trade at AT&T right now so I definitely recommend it.

Apple iPhone 16 series: Get up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at Verizon

Apple iPhone 16 series: Get up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at Verizon
If you're looking to hand over an old device then it's well worth checking out Verizon's iPhone 16 deals on the more premium models this week. The Pro models, for example, are currently available with massive trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 alongside a line on the Ultimate unlimited plan - which is enough to cover the entire cost of the standard iPhone 16 Pro. Note that you can trade-in any model in any condition and still be eligible for a discount here, which makes this a flexible option.

Apple iPhone 16 series: save up to $650 off with a trade-in at Apple

Apple iPhone 16 series: save up to $650 off with a trade-in at Apple
Looking for unlocked iPhone 16 deals? Unfortunately you're pretty limited as Apple is the sole retailer for brand new devices without the usual carrier plan. It's not all bad news, however, as the official Apple Store runs its own trade-in program that you can use to get up to $650 off any of the devices in the new iPhone 16 range. This isn't a ground-breaking deal by any stretch of the imagination, but it's enough to get a significant discount without signing up for a three-year plan so we'll take it.

Apple iPhone 16 series: one year of service free at Boost Mobile

Apple iPhone 16 series: one year of service free at Boost Mobile
This is the first of Boost Mobile's excellent iPhone 16 deals. Right now, the carrier offers a full year of service for free with any of the latest iPhone 16 models. This particular deal is great for those simply looking to buy a device outright and it applies to the carrier's entry-level $25/mo unlimited data plan for a total saving of $300. If you'd prefer to opt for a more premium plan, then you can instead carry that saving over to the $50/mo Unlimited+ plan or the $60/mo Unlimited Premium plan, reducing the monthly cost significantly.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: phone and unlimited data plan for $65/mo at Boost Mobile

Apple iPhone 16 Pro: phone and unlimited data plan for $65/mo at Boost Mobile
One of the best iPhone 16 deals on the market right now is the Boost Infinite Access for iPhone plan - an all-inclusive option at the prepaid carrier that bundles up a device and unlimited plan for just $65/mo. The device in question here is the excellent iPhone 16 Pro so this is an exceptional deal overall if you're happy to go with a more basic unlimited plan versus the usual options at the major carriers. Other devices in the iPhone 16 range are also available with the Boost Infinite Access for iPhone plan but you'll have to pay a bit extra for the Pro Max in particular.

Apple iPhone 16 series: $150 rebate with plan at Red Pocket

Apple iPhone 16 series: $150 rebate with plan at Red Pocket
Red Pocket could be another good choice for iPhone 16 deals this week if you're looking to pair up your device with a cheap prepaid plan. Right now, both new and existing customers can get a decent $150 rebate after three months if they pick up a device alongside an autopay plan. Overall, not an amazing deal considering Red Pocket was offering $300 off in the initial preorders phase but still one of the more cost-effective options on the market currently considering how cheap this carrier's plans are.

What are the key features for the iPhone 16?

Apple iPhone 16

(Image credit: Aplpe)
  • New A18 and A18 Pro chips
  • Massive focus on new AI-integrated features
  • 48MP "Fusion" camera
  • Physical camera control function

Both the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro represent fairly substantial upgrades compared to the previous models. From the new A18 series chips built from the ground up for AI integration to the improved cameras, these devices offer plenty of enticing new features.

First up, the A18 Series chipsets come with the debut of 'Apple Intelligence', which, as the name suggests, is a whole suite of new AI features across the entire range of existing Apple apps. Think ChatGPT-like language models for texts or emails, image and emoji generators, and a new 'Visual Intelligence' app that is just like Google Lens.

In terms of hardware, the iPhone 16 series not only features new chipsets but also an improved camera with a new physical camera control button that directly interacts with the camera app. Apple is calling the new 48MP main camera the 'Fusion camera' since it can seamlessly switch between high-resolution images and more storage-friendly images, plus Stereoscopic capture for Apple Vision Pro.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature slightly bigger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays with slimmer bezels versus their predecessors. The main upgrades for the Pro models this year include the option for 4K video at 120FPS (perfect for slow motion) as well as the usual 48MP wide angle lens and 5x telephoto (12MP and 2x on the standard iPhone 16).
