Sky Mobile has announced its best iPhone 16 deals and best iPhone 16 Pro deals — with prices starting from just £26 a month.
Preorders started at 1pm on September 13, with Sky Mobile placing shoppers in a queue due to the huge demand. Shipping estimates for some models, particularly the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max with the largest storage configurations have already slipped past the launch date of September 20 on the Apple Store — suggesting that Apple is struggling to keep-up with demand for these new handsets.
If you're looking to upgrade to a pay monthly deal from Sky Mobile, iPhone 16 Pro starts from £33 per month, while the more affordable iPhone 16 starts at £26 per month. The larger 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus begins at £30 monthly, and the mammoth 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max is priced from £39 per month. All of these prices are for 36-month contracts. Sky Mobile has no upfront fees or delivery costs.
Best of all, Sky Mobile is offering 50% off 5G data plans for the first year when you add one of these new iPhone models to your shopping basket.

The cheapest data plan from Sky Mobile costs £5 a month for 5GB of 5G data, while a ginormous 100GB of 5G costs just £14 for the first year.
In all likeliness, you won't need that much 5G data allowance from Sky Mobile. That's 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.

As mentioned above, these iPhone contracts with Sky Mobile, recently voted the Best Network for Perks by Uswitch, are 36-months, with ability to upgrade to a newer model after 24-months, provided you're willing to sign-up for a new pay monthly deal with the provider.
Sky Mobile offers the ability to roll-on any leftover data to a Sky Piggybank for future use. Customers can use this 5G data in the future — if you're having Wi-Fi trouble at home, or staying somewhere without broadband, for example — or share it with up to seven SIMs on your account.
You can even exchange unused 5G data for rewards.
iPhone 16 Pro starts at £33 monthly, while the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max costs £39 monthly, with data plans ranging from 5GB for £5 to 100GB for £14. Both of these data plans are half-price for the first year of your new iPhone contract, and will increase to £10 and £28, respectively.
The standard iPhone 16 begins at £26 per month, while the iPhone 16 Plus starts at £30.
The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro range introduces Apple Intelligence, a personalised AI system that delivers information from across your apps — from emails, text messages, and photo library — while protecting privacy.
Elsewhere, all four new models enjoy boosted battery life, improved cameras, faster performance, and improved Wi-Fi 7 support. The new lineup also introduces Camera Control, an innovative feature allowing users to quickly launch the camera and adjust settings with intuitive gestures.
The iPhone 16 Pro models feature a titanium design in black, white, natural, and desert finishes. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models come in black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine colours.
