Now is an opportune moment to acquire a new iPhone at discounted rates. Sky Mobile currently presents the iPhone 16e for only £17 per month with a £12 upfront fee. While this cost excludes calls, texts, and data, Sky’s SIM plans start at just £3, bringing the total monthly expense down to as low as £20.
This offer is not exclusive to Sky Mobile, as other retailers like Mobiles.co.uk also have the iPhone 16e priced below £23.
For those unfamiliar, the iPhone 16e boasts a 6.1-inch display, A18 processor, and a single rear camera, along with features like wireless charging, Face ID security, and a robust glass design.
Apple recently announced the impending launch of the iPhone 17e, an upgraded model with an enhanced A19 processor, a sturdier Ceramic Shield build, and a new Pink color option. Additionally, the 17e introduces MagSafe technology for convenient accessories attachment and doubles the internal storage to 256GB.
Surprisingly, despite the advancements, Apple has maintained the pricing from 2026, starting at £599 for the iPhone 17e. Opting for a contract purchase, Sky offers the 17e from £19 per month, just £2 more than the 16e.
Consumers now face a dilemma – stick with the budget-friendly iPhone 16e or invest a little more for the upgraded 17e. Considering the added functionalities like MagSafe and increased storage, the slight price increase for the 17e appears justified.
