If you're on the hunt for the latest and greatest Apple devices, note that you no longer need to shell out for the usual pricey unlimited plan at one of the major carriers to get a discount. This year, in particular, we've seen an excellent crop of iPhone 16 deals come through from much smaller (and cheaper) companies.
Right now, the best prepaid iPhone 16 deals for those looking to save some cash are at Red Pocket, Boost Mobile, and Visible Wireless - all of which are offering upwards of $360 off across all three devices.
Over at Red Pocket, new and existing customers can get an excellent $300 discount after three months when they bundle up a device with a plan. Boost Mobile is also offering $300 off its unlimited plans alongside one of the latest iPhone 16 models. Finally, starting Friday, new customers at Visible will be able to get $360 off any device alongside a new line on a Visible Plus plan. More details on these deals are just below.

Which is the best deal?
With the exception of Boost Mobile's Infinite Access for iPhone plan, you're roughly getting the same kind of rebate with all three of these carriers so the deals on offer are pretty good across the board. Plan-wise, all three also offer decent unlimited data plans for around $25 to $40 per month, which is much cheaper than the usual unlimited plans at the major carriers.
In terms of coverage, you've also got a wide range of options here. Red Pocket is a rare example of a cheaper carrier that operates on the AT&T network, whereas Boost uses the T-Mobile network. Visible as a Verizon subsidiary uses its parent network, including the super-speedy 5G wideband if you go for the Plus plan in particular.
