Apple’s most recent iPhone model is now available at its lowest price yet in anticipation of the upcoming launch of a new iPhone from the tech giant. Sky Mobile is offering the iPhone 16e for just £18, presenting a significant discount to customers.
The reduced price coincides with Apple’s announcement of a live stream event scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, where the company is expected to introduce the highly anticipated iPhone 17. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, teased the event with a message on social media, hinting at an exciting unveiling.
While specific details remain undisclosed, speculations suggest that the event may showcase the updated iPhone 17 Pro and the rumored iPhone 17 Air, a sleeker and more compact version of the smartphone akin to Apple’s other “Air” products.
As tech enthusiasts eagerly await news about the new Apple devices, Sky Mobile’s discounted offer on the current iPhone 16e makes it even more budget-friendly. Previously priced at £19, the £18 deal may seem modest, but it saves customers £48 over the plan’s duration.
The iPhone 16e package includes 100MB of data by default, with options for larger data allowances like 50GB for £12 and unlimited data for £20. Sky Mobile typically offers 36-month contracts, allowing customers to upgrade to a new device from 24 months without extra charges.
Sky Mobile’s price drop isn’t the only one ahead of the Apple event; Amazon has also slashed the iPhone 16e’s price from £599 to £544 for outright purchases, undercutting Apple’s own retail price for the same model.
Introduced in February, the iPhone 16e is a more affordable variant of the standard iPhone 16, boasting advanced features powered by Apple’s A18 chip. The device sports a 6.1” Super Retina XDR display, AI capabilities through Apple Intelligence, a 48MP Fusion camera, 4K video recording with Dolby Vision, and safety functions like Emergency SOS.
A review by Technology Editor Dave Snelling highlighted the iPhone 16e’s premium design, powerful performance with the A18 processor, and exclusive features enabled by Apple Intelligence. Despite lacking certain upgrades found in higher-end models, the iPhone 16e remains a compelling option, especially given the current deals available.
