From AT&T to Verizon, iPhone 16 deals are officially live across various retailers and carriers. Powered by Apple's latest A18 processor, these are some of the best iPhones we've ever tested with bright screens, epic batteries, and support for Apple Intelligence

In terms of pricing, the 6.1-inch iPhone 16 costs from $799, whereas the 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus costs from $899. They both use Apple's new A18 processor. Meanwhile, the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max cost from $999 and $1,199, respectively. They use Apple's beefier A18 Pro processor with a 16-core neural engine, supported by a 17% increase in memory bandwidth. 

There are dozens of iPhone 16 deals available right now, but one of my favorite sales comes from Verizon which is offering the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro for free with a new line and eligible unlimited data plan. Not to be outdone, AT&T has the iPhone 16 for free with eligible data plan and trade-in. Below I've rounded up the best iPhone 16 deals you can get right now at carriers and retailers alike. This page will be updated with the latest deals as they go live. (Also, check out our comprehensive guide to the best iPhone 16 Pro Max deals).
