The Bottom Line

On the heels of the recent iPhone 16 launch, there are plenty of iPhone 16 deals to choose from, but remember, there's more to finding great phone deals than price. For example, the deepest cell phone discounts usually require a trade-in device and a qualifying unlimited plan. That's where Navi's plan guides and phone plan comparison pages (complete with coverage maps) can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get a free iPhone 16?

The best way to get a free iPhone 16 is finding a carrier offering a trade in promotion for the device and then activating a new plan or adding a line with that carrier. We're always tracking free iPhone 16 deals on this page, so check back often to see the latest and best ways to score the 16 for free.

Is it worth it to upgrade to the iPhone 16?

Whether or not it's worth it to upgrade to the iPhone 16 depends on your current phone and what you're looking for in a smartphone. If you're a basic phone user (someone who doesn't game or stream video on your device) and don't care about A.I. features, then paying hundreds of dollars for the iPhone 16 will likely be a waste of money. If you're an avid phone user, though, and you're in the market for a new phone, the iPhone 16 is a solid device that offers a number of impressive upgrades from its predecessor.

What's the difference between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro?

There are a number of differences between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro, though the most obvious are in screen size (the 16's display is 6.1" compared to the 16 Pro's 6.3"), processor (the 16 has the A18 chip, while the 16 Pro has the A18 Pro chip), camera technology (the 16 is a more basic version of the 16 Pro's set up), battery (the 16 Pro lasts for 5 hours longer than the 16), and price (the MSRP for the 16 is $200 less than the 16 Pro).
