Apple iPhone 16 series at Visible
Save $360 on Visible Plus plan with iPhone purchase
All four iPhones are on sale now through preorders, and the countdown to the Sept. 20 shipping date is on.
Ready for an upgrade? You can now preorder all four iPhone 16 phones. They’re available at multiple retailers starting at $799 (see below for more pricing details). That means you can lock in your iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max and expect it the same day it’s set to become available in stores. You can choose from buying directly from Apple, your carrier or other retailers, but no matter which you decide on, you can take advantage of a variety of trade-in deals and sales. Find all that important info and more below.

The iPhones’ biggest selling points? The camera processing and AI features, of course. But also, two new physical buttons — something we haven’t seen in an iPhone for years. There’s a tactile camera button you can press down and slide your finger along, and an “action” button that can pull up one app during the day (let’s say, Maps), and another at night (like the flashlight).
All the new iPhones will come loaded with iOS 18, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system (iOS 18 will come to all iPhones that support it on Monday). Across all models, you’ll have nine colors to choose from and four storage capacities, all the way up to 1TB. You can also, of course, scoop up MagSafe accessories. Meanwhile, we’ll keep updating this page as we find more iPhone 16 preorder deals.

iPhone 16 sale date
Apple’s iPhone 16 and 16 Pro lineup will go on sale in stores on Sept. 20. If you preordered your iPhone 16, it should arrive on your doorstep by then. You’ll also be able to pop into any retailer that sells the iPhone — like an Apple Store, BestBuy or your carrier — and buy from their available stock.
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 on Sept. 20 or shortly after. Or be prepared to wait.
More from the Apple event
Where do I preorder the iPhone 16 before Sept. 20?
iPhone 16 preorders are open now — they kicked off in the early hours of Friday, Sept. 13.
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 Get ready for pre-order button. You can then choose any accessories you want to add and finally enter your payment information to complete your purchase.

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. However, 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.
