Apple’s most recent iPhone model is now available at its lowest price ever as the company gears up to introduce a new smartphone to its lineup. Sky Mobile is offering the iPhone 16e for £18, providing a significant discount opportunity for shoppers.
The upcoming Apple event, scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, is expected to unveil the highly anticipated iPhone 17. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, hinted at the event with a post on X, teasing an exciting #AppleEvent to come.
While specific details remain undisclosed, viewers tuning into the live stream can anticipate the reveal of the updated iPhone 17 Pro and the rumored iPhone 17 Air. The new addition is likely to follow the trend of Apple’s other products like the iPad Air and MacBook Air, offering a slimmer and more compact design.
Tech enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the new Apple devices can benefit from Sky Mobile’s latest offer, making the current iPhone 16e model even more affordable. Previously priced at £19, the new £18 deal may seem modest, but it translates to a £48 savings over the plan’s duration.
The iPhone 16e package includes 100MB of data as standard, with options for larger data allowances at discounted rates such as 50GB for £12 and unlimited data for £20. Sky Mobile typically offers 36-month smartphone contracts, allowing customers to upgrade to a new device at no extra cost from 24 months onwards.
Sky is not the only retailer reducing prices before the Apple event; Amazon has lowered the price of the iPhone 16e from £599 to £544 for customers who prefer an outright purchase, undercutting Apple’s own price of £599 for the same model.
Introduced in February, the iPhone 16e is positioned as a more 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, a 48MP Fusion camera, 4K video recording with Dolby Vision, and safety features like Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance.
In a review by Technology Editor Dave Snelling, the iPhone 16e received positive feedback for its premium design, including toughened Ceramic Shield glass and aerospace-grade aluminum. The device’s A18 processor offers impressive speed and access to Apple Intelligence, distinguishing it from older models like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14.
Despite its strengths, Dave highlighted some drawbacks of the iPhone 16e, such as the absence of features like Apple’s Dynamic Island notch, MagSafe charging, and the latest Ceramic Shield glass found in pricier Apple models. However, considering the current deals available, the iPhone 16e remains a compelling option for consumers.
