The next iPhone is here.

After it was announced at a glitzy event in Apple Park in California on September 9, the all-new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus launch with a slew of vibrant new colours, improved dual-camera, faster performance, and support for Apple Intelligence, when it releases in the UK later this year.


After one week of preorders, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus landed on stores shelves on September 20. And despite only being on-sale for three days, Sky Mobile has already kickstarted a half price offer on data bundles — making it comfortably one of the best iPhone 16 deals on the market at the moment.

Sky Mobile has slashed the cost of its data plans by 50% for the first 12 months of your new contract, cutting costs by as much as £168. For a limited time, Sky Mobile is charging just £5 per month for 5GB of 5G data.

It has a 6.1-inch screen, upgraded dual-camera, and faster chipset.

For £10, Sky Mobile will 10x that monthly data allowance to 50GB and 100GB costs £14 per month.

That should be more than enough to stream video from YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook when away from Wi-Fi, make and receive WhatsApp calls, download music and podcasts on-the-move, use Google Maps to navigate, and more.

You might not need a vast 5G data allowance from Sky Mobile because one of the best perks of picking Sky Mobile over its rivals is that any mobile data used within Sky-owned apps will never count towards your monthly allowance.

Yes, you'll can stream endlessly from Sky Go, Sky Sports, and other Sky apps over 5G with no risk of burning through your monthly data allowance. That means you can spend hours binge-watching series like House of the Dragon, Chernobyl, The White Lotus, Succession, and Euphoria on Sky Go and you won't use a single megabyte of 5G data. Likewise, you can stream live Premier League matches from Sky Sports HD on Sky Go without spending a penny extra on your monthly bills.

If you're a Sky TV viewer, this is a sizeable perk — and you'd need to spend a lot of money on a sizeable 5G data plan with other networks to enjoy the same experience.

Any unused data at the end of the month will be rolled-on, so if you spend a lot of time connected to Wi-Fi, you can quickly build up a stash of mobile data. However, the mobile carrier doesn't offer EU roaming as standard, so you'll need to spend extra when heading on holiday to use your 5G data and calls from the sun-lounger.

Sky Mobile includes unlimited calls and text messages with all of its data plans.

If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus, you'll need to pair these half-price 5G data plans with the cost of the handset, which is spread-out over 36-months. Sky Mobile prices start from £26 per month for the iPhone 16, rising to £30 per month for the iPhone 16 Plus.

It's possible to upgrade to a new handset after 24-months, although you'll need to recontract with Sky Mobile to switch to whatever iPhone takes your fancy ahead of schedule.

The 50% discount on Sky Mobile data plans is one of a handful of new deals available on the latest iPhone models. If you're willing to stomach a hefty upfront cost, Mobiles.co.uk is offering the all-new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max for under £30. This generous offer comes with 100GB of 5G data, which can be used across mainland Europe at no extra cost, it also ships with unlimited text messages and calls.
