iPhone 16e deals at Apple

$599

The iPhone 16e is available at the official Apple Store. Trade-in promotions are now live, with users saving up to $630 on the affordable iPhone 16 alternative.

Buy at Apple

As you may know, the Apple Store isn't exactly known as the most generous merchant. Pre-trade-in deals are available seldom, if ever, but that's not necessarily a drawback. With the iPhone 16e, Apple.com follows this tradition, and users should be able to save when sparing an older device in good condition.

At the time of writing, you can save as little as $40 or as much as $630 with eligible trade-ins. Daily cashback of 3% is also available here, though you need an Apple Card to take advantage.

iPhone 16e deals at Verizon

$4 ⁹⁹ /mo

$16 ⁶⁶

$12 off (70%)

Verizon's current iPhone 16e promo lets you get the latest iPhone for $4.99/mo. with select unlimited plans. That saves you a total of $420, but you must activate a new line.

Buy at Verizon

Verizon customers are in for an iPhone 16e treat! The iPhone SE 3 successor can be yours for just $4.99/mo. instead of $16.66/mo. However, you must meet certain requirements to take advantage of the promo: activate a new line on select unlimited plans. That saves you $420 on the latest affordable iPhone, which sounds like a pretty sweet promo.

iPhone 16e deals at AT&T

$5 ⁹⁹ /mo

$16 ⁶⁷

$11 off (64%)

The iPhone 16e is available for $5.99/mo. at AT&T with qualifying plans (starting at $60.99/mo.). For now, you won't have to provide an eligible trade-in to get the best discounts.

Buy at AT&T

Are you an AT&T user? In that case, consider purchasing your iPhone 16e at that carrier. At the time of writing, you can buy the handset for $5.99/mo. instead of $16.67/mo., provided you activate or keep an eligible postpaid plan ($60.99/mo. minimum). No trade-in is required, which is great news. If you pick that bargain, you can save up to $384.36 over 36 months.

iPhone 16e deals at Walmart

$15 ²⁵ /mo

Walmart lets you buy the latest iPhone 16e with a plan by AT&T. You can pre-order a unit with an AT&T plan for $15.25/mo., saving you $100 over 36 months.

Buy at Walmart

Walmart also has the iPhone 16e in stock, but it comes with an AT&T plan. So, if you prefer Walmart as your trusted seller, consider getting the model over there. At the time of writing, the Apple handset sells for $15.55/mo. over 36 months, which saves you $100.

Deals at Mint Mobile

$599

Mint Mobile's offer on the iPhone 16e isn't a discount on the handset itself but on the carrier's plan. At the time of writing, you can buy an unlimited data plan for $180/y. instead of $360/y. You must bring your phone number to Mint to get the discount.

Buy at Mint Mobile

Prefer buying a prepaid iPhone 16e? In that case, you might want to check out Mint Mobile's offer. Over here, you can get the affordable iPhone at its standard price, but you get to save on the data plan. Unlimited plans cost $180/y instead of $360/y.

Deals at Visible

$599

Visible's offer on the iPhone 16e isn't much different from Mint Mobile's. Over here, you can save $360 over 36 months on the Visible+ Pro plan, so long as you pay full price for the iPhone 16e or buy it on finance and activate a new line.

Buy at Visible

Prefer Visible's prepaid phone offers? Well, we have good news — the iPhone 16e is available at the Visible Store as well. Just like Mint, this carrier gives you some savings on plans when you purchase the iPhone 16e at full retail price.

So, if you get the iPhone 16e at full retail price or device payment and set up a new line on the Visible+ Pro plan, you get to save $360 over 36 monthly bill credits. This plan normally costs $45/mo., but this promo lets you save $10/mo.
