Since its September 20, 2024, launch, Apple's iPhone 16 series has earned high ratings and praise from industry experts and satisfied owners alike. In 2025, it's among the best smartphones to buy, and on February 28, Apple welcomed the iPhone 16e into the family.

Pricing for the iPhone 16 Series starts at $799 for the entry model iPhone 16, $899 for the iPhone 16 Plus, $999 for the iPhone 16 Pro, and $1,199 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you're due for an upgrade or switching carriers, you'll want to check out today's iPhone 16 deals.

If you are due for a new daily driver or switching carriers, the best iPhone 16 deals will help you save on Apple's latest flagship device. In some instances, you can snag a free iPhone 16e, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, or iPhone 16 Pro.

Read on to find out how.

iPhone 16 deals at carriers in the U.S. continue to slash up to $1,000 off Apple's new flagship phone when you trade in your old device. Given that this discount is higher than the $ 799 iPhone 16, $899 iPhone 16 Plus, and $999 iPhone 16 Pro, you're getting a free iPhone.

Or you'll pay as little as $199 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That's only if you get the maximum trade-in value for the device you're swapping. Newer phones in good condition typically get the highest trade-in value of $1,000.

To take advantage of these generous iPhone 16 carrier offers, you must trade in an eligible device and activate your iPhone 16 on a specified plan. Select carriers require you to open a new line or switch from a competitor to their network.

Don't have a phone to trade in? If you don't mind jumping to a new carrier, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are known to offer a free iPhone when you switch. This deal is especially tempting if you're a prepaid customer who normally has to purchase your phone outright. Even if you spend $5 to $10 more on a monthly plan, it'll be cheaper than buying an unlocked iPhone 16 at full price.

So, if you're sitting on an older model iPhone or want to switch to the Apple ecosystem, you don't have to spend a fortune or a kidney. Here are the best iPhone 16 deals available this week.
