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.

Verizon customers are in for an iPhone 16e treat! The iPhone SE 3 successor can be yours for as low as $0.00/mo. instead for $16.66/mo. at the carrier, provided you activate a new line on a select Unlimited plan.

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.
