At a glance. The Apple iPhone 16 Plus is currently sold on contract by Mozillion and O2, with airtime from Mozillion and O2. It is available in 3 storage sizes (128GB, 256GB, 512GB); larger sizes add to the price, so pick the smallest you can live with. The cheapest deal by effective monthly cost is £31.79 a month with £9.00 upfront over 24 months on Mozillion, which works out at about £32.17 a month all in. If you would rather buy it outright, the lowest SIM-free price we track is £619.99 from O2 — worth comparing against the contracts above, paired with a SIM-only plan. 104 of the deals are for refurbished handsets, which are usually noticeably cheaper; use the condition filter to compare new and refurbished separately. Key specs: 6.7" super retina xdr oled, a Apple A18 (3 nm) chip, IP68 water resistance.
