- Apple now only sells the iPhone 16 with a discount on a 128 GB option
- The iPhone 16 Plus still has the 256 GB model
- But I don’t think it’s a good business either …
After the launch of the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and the iPhone Air, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, and has ruled out the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus. However, there is a capture for this discount: you can only get the first in its 128 GB base storage option.
The interruption of the oldest Pro phones was basically preordered, as Apple always does when it launches new phones. As well as the price drop for standard models and more iPhone 16.
But with the iPhone 16 falling to $ 699 / £ 699 / au $ 1,249 from an initial price of $ 799 / £ 799 / au $ 1,399, and the advantage of obtaining a new piece of sights of $ 799 / £ 799 / au $ 1,399 from $ 899 / £ 899 / au $ 1,599, you could consider the discount to be a discount.
Comparatively, the new iPhone 17 begins at $ 799 / £ 799 / AU $ 1,399 and offers a series of updates, such as a 120Hz promotion screen and a new fusion camera system, for not much more.
Add that your only option for the iPhone 16 directly from Apple is the 128 GB model, and does not seem a super compulsive 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 believe that 128 GB of storage on board is not too innocent if it is intelligent with its photo administration and what applications download, when one takes into account the updates offered by the iPhone 17 and its initial storage capacity of 256 GB, I do not believe that the latest generation phone has a lot of attraction.
Go to another place for a bargain
There is another face in this story, which is that third -party retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Argos, Curries and Walmart will probably have iPhone 16 Pro models in stock that they will want to change before the new iPhones are September 19 or before the holiday season.
Therefore, I suggest that you will look at those retailers if you want to get an iPhone Pro for less, or consult our guide in the best iPhone offers.
Likewise, if you can wait a handful of weeks, we will soon enter a period in which the retailers begin to rule out their products before Black Friday, which is less than one day and more than an hour of discounts of one week of discounts in technology and more.
And Cyber Monday, who follows Black Friday, will surely have some attractive technological offers, and would be very sure that the pro models of iPhone 16 are among them, assuming that the actions last.
For a deeper immersion in the new standard iPhone, I look at the United States managing editor for the practical review of News Jake Krol’s iPhone 17.
