James Martin/CNETIt’s official: the iPhone 16 has arrived. Apple’s latest smartphone release has landed in stores and is widely available at carriers and retailers alike. The Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4 are also available now.
In his extensive review of the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, CNET’s Patrick Holland says that the high-end model’s slo-mo video capabilities are the best new iPhone feature he’s seen in years. Lisa Eadicicco says that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are “faster, more intuitive and more customizable,” in her full review of the base iPhone 16 models.
Between the four new iPhone models — iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max — with a total of nine colors to choose from and four storage capacities, you’ve got a lot of decisions to make, but one thing is certain. If you want to get a new iPhone 16 as soon as possible, the time for ordering is now. Check out the best deals for the iPhone 16 below.

When did the iPhone 16 launch?
Apple’s iPhone 16 and 16 Pro lineup were officially in stores on Sept. 20. You can also now pop into any retailer that sells the iPhone — like an Apple Store, BestBuy or your carrier — and buy from their available stock. Use the Apple Store app to select the model, storage and color you like, and you can check availability at your local Apple Store. You’ll also find the lineup on offer at all major carriers and we’ve highlighted those current offers below.
It’s not unheard of for popular configurations of colors, models and storage capacities to sell out of available stock and experience a delay. So we suggest you have a couple backup options in mind if you’re determined to get a new iPhone right away. Or be prepared to wait.
How do I order the iPhone 16?
Preorders for the iPhone 16 kicked off in the early hours of Friday, Sept. 13, but now that the iPhone 16 series has officially launched, you should be able to order the phone you want from online retailers and carriers as well as in stores.
First, decide which model iPhone you want to buy — iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max. Then select your preferred color and storage capacity and decide if you’re trading in an older iPhone, which could get you up to $650 back from the Apple site.

Then choose an optional carrier and AppleCare Plus coverage (or not) and click the blue Add to Bag button. You can then choose any accessories you want to add and finally enter your payment information to complete your purchase.
How much does the iPhone 16 cost and what are the specs?
Prices differ depending on the amount of storage you buy, but here’s the range:
- iPhone 16: $799 to $1,099
- iPhone 16 Plus: $899 to $1,199
- iPhone 16 Pro: $999 to $1,499

How do iPhone 16 trade-in offers work?
Some carriers are offering up to $1,000 on eligible trade-ins, which could net you an iPhone 16 Pro for free. One important thing to keep in mind is that most trade-in deals from carriers require you to become a customer, and they often apply to the priciest plan options.
Select retailers with trade-in programs could offer you gift cards toward future purchases instead, so you don’t have to be locked into a contract to take advantage of the savings from parting with your old device. Those offers may not provide as much of a deal as traditional trade-in offers. We’ve got specifics on how much you can expect to receive for trading in your phone at select retailers and carriers below.
We saw the new iPhone 16 models in the demo room at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California.
