Apple is on the brink of revealing its new lineup of iPhones, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and the rumored iPhone 17 Air. The tech giant will host its annual event at its California headquarters on Tuesday, with the UK live stream starting at 6 pm. While exact details remain undisclosed, it is anticipated that the iPhone 17 will maintain a premium price tag similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 16, which debuted at £799.
With the upcoming launch event, savvy consumers are exploring deals on the current iPhone 16 range, taking advantage of significant price reductions. Vodafone, for example, is offering discounts of up to £576 on the iPhone 16 Pro Max through various 36-month contracts, including the Unlimited Max plan. By trading in an eligible phone, customers can reduce the monthly cost from £63.50 to £50, with an additional £50 upfront fee.
The savings on the Vodafone deal are split into two parts, with £252 deducted from the airtime and up to £324 available for the trade-in. However, the trade-in value varies depending on the phone model, with newer models like the iPhone 16 offering higher discounts compared to older models.
While Vodafone’s offer caters to heavy data users with its unlimited data and 5G speeds, individuals with lower usage may find the 5GB plan more suitable, dropping from £51.50 to £41 per month with a trade-in bonus. It is important to note that the prices quoted include a £13.50 trade-in saving and a £100 bonus, potentially affecting the final cost.
Alternatively, Sky Mobile presents a competitive £35 deal on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, featuring a 100MB allowance. Customers can opt for additional data upgrades at extra costs. Sky Mobile offers flexibility with no upfront payment, making it an affordable option, especially for those without a high-value phone for trade-in.
For consumers considering purchasing outright, Amazon is currently offering a £100 discount on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with prices starting at £899 for the 128GB model. Those looking for further cost savings can explore refurbished models from platforms like Wowcher, with prices ranging from £19.99 for older models like the iPhone 4 to more recent models like the iPhone 13 at £245.
When shopping on Wowcher, the price depends on the phone’s cosmetic condition, categorized as ‘very good’, ‘good’, or ‘acceptable’. Despite potential variations in price based on quality, all devices are guaranteed to be fully functional across all grades. Shoppers should note a delivery fee of £8.99 and the possibility of receiving generic, non-official Apple packaging.
Whether opting for contract deals or purchasing outright, consumers have a range of options to consider when upgrading to the latest iPhone model.
