iPhone 16e is out today, here's where to buy it for the cheapest price

Apple's latest addition to the iPhone 16 range of phones arrives today in the form of the 16e, and several carriers in the UK already have their best deals ready for shoppers to snap up. As with any new mobile phone release it can be a minefield trying to find the right contract for you with some offering far better deals than others.

If you're lagging behind on something like an iPhone 12 or 13 and want to upgrade without breaking the bank, it's a solid option coming in at £599 if you buy from Apple outright.

Some of the major selling features of the 16e include a similar processor to its bigger brothers in the line-up, minus one GPU core. It also has the handy action button feature which can be programmed to do pretty much anything from acting as a camera shutter button to starting a voice note.

It's all packed into a modest 6.1" frame with boxy sides that's reminiscent of the iPhone 14. This makes it ideal for those that still remember the days of small smart phones, even if 6.1" is still massive by the standards of a decade ago.
