- Apple now sells only the reduced iPhone 16 in a 128 GB option
- IPhone 16 Plus still has the 256 GB model
- But I think isn’t a good deal either …
After Lr. However, there is a catch for this discount: You can only get the former in its base 128 GB warehouse setting.
The interruption of the older pro phones was basically predetermined, as Apple always does when it launches new phones. Like the price drop of the standard and Plus iPhone 16 models.
But with the iPhone 16 DROPPING TO $ 699 / £ 699 / AU $ 1,249 From A Starting Price of $ 799 / £ 799 / AU $ 1.399, and the Plus Getting A New Staring Piece of $ 799 / £ 799 / AU $ 1.399 Down from Consider the discounts to be a tad alongside.
Comparative, the new iPhone 17 starts at $ 799 / £ 799 / AU $ 1,399 and offers a number of upgrades such as a 120Hz promotion display and a new fusion camera system, not much more.
Add that your only option for iPhone 16 directly from the Apple is the 128 GB model and it doesn’t look like a super-compelling purchase. This is one of the reasons why before the Apple event on September 9, I advised people not to buy a new iPhone until we saw what the iPhone 17 has to offer.
Although I think the 128 GB onboard storage is not too miserable if you are knowledgeable about your photo steering and what apps you download when taking into account the upgrades that the iPhone 17 offers and its start storage capacity of 256 GB, I do not think the last generation phone has a lot of appeal.
Go another place for a bargain
There is a flip page for this story, which is that third-party dealers like Amazon, Best Buy, Argos, Currys and Walmart are likely to have the iPhone 16 Pro models in stock, which they will change either before the new iPhone launch on September 19 or before the holiday season.
So I would suggest you look at these retailers if you want to score a Pro iPhone for less, or check out our guide to the best iPhone offers.
Likewise, if you can wait for a handful of weeks, we will soon enter a period when retailers are starting to reduce their products in front of Black Friday, which is less than a day and more a week with discounts on tech and more.
And Cyber Monday, who follows Black Friday, is sure to have some appealing technological offers, and I would be very sure that the iPhone 16 Pro models are among them, provided that lately.
