Will there be iPhone 16 pre-order deals?

Absolutely. Apple is currently offering up to £645 credit when you trade-in your old smartphone, which is great if you have an old phone you won't be using any more. Otherwise, you can order the phone unlocked on Amazon or buy it through a carrier to avoid paying for the cost of the phone upfront.

More iPhone 16 pre-order deals will roll in in the coming days. If you don't mind not having the latest and greatest iPhone, now is an excellent time to shop iPhone 15 deals. Last year's iPhone might see better deals than usual now that a newer model is up for grabs.

• Consider switching wireless carriers: If you're able to, consider switching carriers to get the best deal possible on the iPhone 16. Many carriers reserve their best deals for new customers.
• Clean your phone: If ypu're trading your phone in or selling it to a third party, it makes sense to clean it up before hand. This will make it look pristine and get you the best possible price or trade-in value. Don't forget to reset your phone before handing it off.
