The unlocked iPhone 16, featuring a redesigned camera and faster A18 chipset, starts at $799 with 128 GB while stepping it up to 256 GB adds $100. Meanwhile, opting for the 512 GB for another $200 ($1099). All colors are available: purple, green, pink, midnight black, and silver.
You can also select a carrier and activate the new iPhone 16 when getting it through these retailers. In the case of Best Buy, you can pick AT&T or Verizon during the activation process.
Those who prefer a larger display and battery capacity can pick the iPhone 16 Plus. It has the same storage and color variants but starts at $899 for the base with 128 GB storage and the 256 GB option at $999. The 512 GB will set you $1199.
If you don’t want to pay the entire device upfront, both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also available for a monthly plan from Apple and Best Buy, with the cellular services fee added to the final billing.
Where to buy the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
This year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max pretty much shares the same specs as the smaller iPhone 16 Pro except it has a wider display at 6.9-inch and more battery juice. And like last year’s predecessor, it starts with 256 GB storage and sets you back for $1,199. The next variant is 512 GB costing $1,399 while the 1 TB option commands a hefty price tag of $1,599.
Both the iPhone 16 Pro models are available in desert, natural, black, and white titanium finishes.
Get the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro for free from Amazon
If you’re buying from Amazon, they have tied up with Boost Mobile, the partnership is giving away up to $1000 credit towards the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro, and there’s no trade-in required.
This is equivalent to getting one of the models for free, although this is together with their wireless plan for a 36-month locked-in contract. For example, you’ll only be paying $65/month for the base iPhone 16 Pro in any storage configuration or $70 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
If you’re sending your old handset to Apple, the maximum credit they are giving is $650 and this is for the iPhone 15 Pro Max with no damages. The estimated figures are lower for the smaller iPhone 15 Pro and the standard iPhone 15 models.
Other retailers like Best Buy and carriers are more generous towards the trade-in credits. Of course, the credit will vary on the status of your iPhone.
