The iPhone 16 has barely been on the market since Friday and it is already heavily discounted at some retailers, but also at operators. We found a way to get it for just over 520 euros…
The iPhone 16 has been on pre-order for a week, it finally arrived in Apple Stores and at retailers this Friday. And after a rather timid launch weekend, we can already find it this Monday, in its basic version, at just over 520 euros compared to 969 euros according to the price set by the Cupertino firm. The iPhone 16 128 GB is indeed at SFR at 601 euros with a plan with a 24-month commitment. An 80 euro coupon even brings the bill to 521 euros after purchase. SFR also offers the iPhone 16 at 889 euros with a plan without commitment this time.
Bouygues, for its part, symbolically lowers the iPhone 16 to under 500 euros with an offer that displays the smartphone at 349.90 euros (+ 8.00 €/month for 24 months) for the subscription of a 200 GB plan at 44.99 euros per month. Symbolically only since, as with SFR, the painful over 24 months will therefore be much higher. Another offer displays the phone at only 1 euro for 24.78 €/month over 24 months and a 200 GB plan at 44.99 € also.
Apple, which does not seem to have benefited from the launch boost of its previous models and which cannot yet decently sell off its new jewel, has nevertheless decided to mark the occasion, with a massive trade-in offer. The brand with the apple is offering a credit of 200 to 765 euros to be used on the purchase of an iPhone 16 or an iPhone 16 Pro with the Apple Trade In trade-in system. Obviously, for a really interesting trade-in, you will already have to be the lucky owner of an iPhone 15 and even an iPhone 15 Pro Max for the 765 euros discount displayed, but some may be tempted.
For more attractive and less restrictive offers, you obviously have to turn to resellers. Currently, Rakuten is offering the best deal with an iPhone 16 that fell below 900 euros yesterday, with a cashback of 45 euros. Fnac and Boulanger are also playing on the trade-in of your old device, with some discounts or gifts (free case, discount on accessories, etc.). We tracked down the prices of all the resellers offering the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Here are the best deals found with the updated prices:
Please note that the prices and offers mentioned in this article may still change. As usual, pre-orders for the iPhone 16 have been open since the Friday following the Keynote, i.e. last Friday, September 13, at 2 p.m., which has allowed us to already see a lot of offers. Whether it’s the classic iPhone 16, the Plus, Pro or Pro Max models, it is likely that several other promotions will be put online in the coming days and weeks.
On the first day of marketing of the iPhone 16, at resellers, Fnac and Darty have already drawn several timid offers, Amazon and Cdiscount are for the moment a little below, even if the latter offers to make the price of the iPhone 16 win in a voucher! The best offer seems to come from the Boulanger site which offers a trade-in bonus on the trade-in value of your old device if you buy a model from the iPhone 16 range. We list here all the offers available from partner sellers, major brands and operators.
The Fnac/Darty group has been offering the iPhone 16 since pre-orders opened. However, the brand does not have a tradition of offering promotions as soon as new iPhones go online. However, you should find a fairly large stock there and you can count on it if the model you absolutely want is out of stock on other sites.

All iPhone 16 offers from Darty
Fnac and Darty are also quite renowned for their reliable customer service and are able to help you with your purchases and any order issues. In short, a safe bet for those who do not want to tempt the devil with the purchase of the iPhone 16.
Boulanger already offers one of the best deals on the iPhone 16. Last week, the brand had a bonus of 100 euros on the buyback of your old device. The site now indicates that it offers a buyback of your smartphone to lower the price of the iPhone 16.
The Boulanger website also offers a reduction of 20% off compatible accessories with your new iPhone 16. You will find several cases and stands to protect your smartphone.
The best deals on Rakuten
Rakuten is a site that should be handled with caution. The brand often offers very aggressive promotions compared to its main competitors like Amazon. However, these superb promotions can concern non-European models and therefore unsuitable for resale in official stores. That being said, Rakuten regularly displays the lowest prices on the market on smartphones.
Where to find the iPhone 16 at the best price on Amazon?
Amazon is the e-commerce giant and a big fan of Apple products. The iPhone 16 is already available on the company’s website, although the product pages do not display any special promotions. However, it is possible that small price reductions will be offered on the iPhone 16 shortly after their release, so stay tuned!
What offers are available on the iPhone 16 from operators?
In the game of promos on the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max, it is undoubtedly the operators who are the most advantageous, with in particular Sosh which offers 70 euros of immediate discount on the iPhone 16 Pro, with or without a plan, or RED by SFR, which offers up to 130 euros of advantages, for the trade-in of an old smartphone, with of course a new plan subscribed to as a bonus.
Other promotional offers on the iPhone 16 should also appear in the coming days. We are thinking in particular of mobile operators Bouygues Telecom or Free who have already offered promotions on the latest iPhones. We will not fail to keep this article updated with the best offers available.
