Compare Apple iPhone 16 Plus Deals

Start with the effective monthly cost, not the headline rate. A cheap-looking monthly with a big upfront fee often works out dearer once you add it all up, so sort the deals above by effective monthly cost to compare them fairly. Match the data allowance to what you genuinely get through each month, and pick a contract length you are content to see out. Already happy with your current handset? A SIM-only plan usually beats a fresh phone contract on price.

That 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR panel is the headline here: roomy for films, reading and split-screen jobs, and bright enough outdoors. The 48MP main camera handles everyday shots and good-light scenes well, while the 12MP front camera covers selfies and video calls. There is no separate telephoto zoom, so distant subjects rely on cropping rather than a dedicated lens, which is the trade-off against the Pro range.

This is a 2024 phone, so the chip is a generation behind the latest models, but it still runs iOS 18 and everyday apps smoothly. Where it shines is stamina: the 4,006 mAh battery is one of the larger cells Apple fits, and most people will reach the evening with charge to spare. Expect a few more years of iOS updates, just not as many as a brand-new release.

The iPhone 16 shares the same 48MP main camera and software, but comes in a smaller, lighter body. The Plus trades that compactness for the bigger 6.7-inch screen and the larger battery. If one-handed use and a slimmer phone matter most, the standard 16 fits better. If you watch a lot on the go and want longer runtime, the Plus is worth the extra.

128GB is fine if you mostly stream and keep your photos in the cloud. Go for 256GB if you shoot lots of video, store large games, or hang on to phones for years. There is no card slot, so you cannot top up the space later.
