Now is an opportune moment to acquire a new iPhone at discounted rates. Sky Mobile is presently promoting the iPhone 16e for just £17 per month with a £12 upfront fee. While this price does not cover calls, texts, or data, Sky’s SIM deals start at £3, making the total monthly cost as low as £20.
This offer is quite attractive, and other retailers like Mobiles.co.uk are also selling the iPhone 16e for under £23.
For those unfamiliar, the iPhone 16e boasts a 6.1-inch display, A18 processor, single rear camera, wireless charging, Face ID security, and a toughened glass design.
Apple has recently unveiled the iPhone 17e, set to hit stores next week, signaling a significant upgrade. The new model features an enhanced A19 processor, durable Ceramic Shield design, a Pink color option in addition to Black and White, and MagSafe functionality for attaching accessories.
Moreover, the iPhone 17e now offers 256GB of internal storage, double that of the 16e. Surprisingly, Apple has maintained the starting price at £599 for 2026.
If opting for a contract purchase, Sky is presenting the iPhone 17e starting from £19 per month, just £2 more than the 16e.
Consumers now face a tough decision: go for the budget-friendly iPhone 16e or slightly increase the budget for the advanced features of the 17e. In our view, the added functionalities like MagSafe and increased storage justify the slightly higher price.
