There were some epic phone deals this past weekend, and while a lot of them have expired, I'm shocked to see that one of my favorite is still in stock.
Right now you can get a brand new iPhone 16 for only $0.01 from Amazon with Boost Mobile. A few things you need to know about this deal. First, it requires that you to activate your iPhone and then pay $65 per month for 36 months via Boost. The plan includes unlimited talk/text/5G data. Additionally, you can get the iPhone 16 Pro for $0.01 from Amazon.
Boost uses these kinds of deals to help sell itself as the fourth major network in the US alongside AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. The company does have its own wireless network, including 5G, but it does use other carriers towers to supplement its coverage. You likely won't have any issues while using the phone, but it should be noted that the connection might be spottier depending on what towers are nearby.
As for the phone, the 6.1-inch iPhone 16 stands apart from the other iPhones of the past simply because it, as we said in our review, feels more like a Pro than we would expect. Not only are you getting a stylish new design with a bold blue color, but there's also a 6.1-inch display and both a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide. All of this is controlled by Apple's stellar A18 chip that outclasses most other chips in its class.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro gets a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and the 5x tetraprism zoom from the Max without a price hike. Add in promising Apple Intelligence features, a smarter Siri and longer battery life, and this is a compelling flagship phone.
