When it comes to talking about technology , Apple is one of the big name brands that fans trust. Producing a wide range of gadgets, many shoppers want to snap up the latest and greatest device to hit the market. However, the slight downside for new releases from Apple is that they don’t exactly come with the most affordable price tag. For those wanting the newest iPhone but can’t afford to pay for it outright, Sky is currently offering a cracking monthly deal that puts the 2025 release down to their ‘lowest price’ ever. Sky is currently offering the new iPhone 16e for only 拢18 per month with no upfront cost. Many fans of Apple have been loving this new deal as Sky has confirmed it is in demand and proving ‘popular’.

This deal means shoppers will only be getting 100MB of data, which probably won’t go very far for the vast majority of people, reports the Mirror. In order to get more data, shoppers will need to add a little bit more money onto their monthly bill. For example, to get 10GB of data shoppers will need to pay an extra 拢7 per month, while 50GB pushing it up by another 拢10. Additionally, this contract is a 36-month deal, so if you choose to buy the smartphone with 10GB of data you will end up spending a total of 拢900 across the contract. However, this is still probably one of the current best deals on the market as you would need to pay 拢599 to buy the iPhone 16e outright anyway before adding on a monthly data plan for around the same length of time. In terms of Apple’s latest smartphone release, the iPhone 16e is a top-rated device that will receive all of the latest upgrades. Boasting a Super Retina XDR display, the phone also comes with a long battery life, a 48Mp fusion camera and the latest A18 processor. Available in black or white, this smartphone also comes with the new camera control button on the side so users can easily take snaps of their favourite moments without having to touch the screen. Shoppers will also get to experience the perks of Apple Intelligence through this iPhone. For those who want to buy the iPhone 16e outright, Amazon has slashed 拢50 off the price in a limited time deal. Down from 拢599 to 拢549, this smartphone comes with 128GB of storage. Alternatively, for shoppers happy to buy an older version of the iPhone, Argos has put the iPhone 14 down to their ‘lowest price ever’ of 拢449. Available in six different colours, this smartphone runs on the super-speedy A15 Bionic chip and is still compatible with the latest iOS 18 system updates. Now while the iPhone 16e is still relatively new, as it was only released in February, some Amazon shoppers have left reviews about the device which has resulted in a 4.4 star rating. One happy shopper said: “Upgrading from an iPhone 11 as my previous phone, this 16e is great, it’s the same size but loads faster, app’s are smoother, YouTube etc feel better.” With another five-star reviewer adding: “Ideal phone with great battery life and very good value for the money.” However, one shopper grumbled about the device not coming with a plug. They wrote: “Doesn鈥檛 come with a wall adapter for the charging cable, so I have no way of actually charging it, apart from buying a separate wall charger.” Despite this, another top reviewer wrote: “Stylish 16E iPhone, delivered in excellent condition. Works well and much better battery life.” To buy the iPhone 16e through Sky’s monthly deal, click HERE.
