Sky offering Apple iPhone 16 Pro for £28 a month

Shoppers on the hunt for a new phone may be interested in Sky’s latest offer on the Apple iPhone 16 Pro. The 128GB titanium phone comes in four stylish colours and has a large 6.3-inch display. The iPhone features Apple’s latest-generation Ceramic Shield front that claims to be twice as tough as any smartphone glass, a convenient feature for people prone to dropping their device.

Sky is offering the iPhone 16 Pro for £28 a month over a 24-month contract with an upfront cost of £12. Sky’s deal is a 36-month contract, but you can swap to a new phone anytime after 31 days or when the 24-month contract is up at no extra cost. This is one of the cheapest monthly payments on offer, with Three selling the same phone for £38.71 a month over a 24-month contract with an upfront cost of £30. 

The iPhone 16 Pro’s battery life provides up to 27 hours of video playback. It boasts a 48MP Fusion camera with an Ultra Wide lens and shoots videos in 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision.

The smartphone has an A18 Pro chip, offering more speed and larger memory bandwidth, while Apple Intelligence helps you get tasks done quickly. The device also comes with privacy protections, ensuring not even Apple can access your data.

For shoppers wanting to explore other smartphone options, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is currently on sale for £1,099 or £30.53 a month and has a slightly larger 6.9-inch display. The 256GB device is available in several colours, comes with a handy S-Pen and features Galaxy AI.

Alternatively, Amazon is now offering a 22% discount on the Google Pixel 9, bringing the price down from £899 to £699. This device has a 6.3-inch display, is available in four colours and features Google AI.

There are no reviews for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro on the Sky website, however over on Amazon where the device can be purchased for £899, it has earned an overall rating of 4.4 out of five. One thrilled customer commented:  “The iPhone 16 Pro has been a great upgrade option for me, combining a sleek design and built for the new Apple Intelligence features due to be released. The first thing I did notice is the new display – it feels crisp and vibrant.

“The improved refresh rate makes everything from scrolling to gaming feel incredibly smooth. Performance-wise, the new A18 chip delivers decent speeds, effortlessly handling multitasking and demanding apps – gaming on my iPhone feels a lot smoother, and the phone itself just feels a lot faster compared to my old iPhone 13 Pro Max.

“The battery life has also seen a decent boost, easily lasting a full day even with heavy use – I often have my phone on low power mode, and still runs decently and the battery has lasted way over 24 hours despite using it often. The camera system, always a standout feature for the Pro models, has been further refined. 

“The improved low-light performance is actually insane to be honest, and along with the new AI-enhanced photography tools, it allows for stunning photos and videos in any condition. The new camera button on the iPhone 16 Pro is actually incredibly useful, and it can be customised to open various apps – it felt a little weird at first and the button felt in the way, but I got used to it after a day or so.”

However, they did go on to note a slight issue: “The only downside is that the outer black titanium case feels plasticky oddly – I think it feels rather cheap, but I have my phone in a Spigen hybrid case, so it doesn’t bother me that much. Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro is a powerhouse device that pushes the boundaries of what a smartphone can do – I highly recommend it.”

Sadly one Amazon shopper was left unimpressed, as they explained: “I wouldn’t recommend getting this phone for solely two reasons. The battery life is horrible and so disappointing. I upgraded because my iPhone 13 battery was dying. After spending £1,099 I expected the battery to at least last a day. In reality I had to charge it twice a day with minimum usage. Literally my phone could be sitting idle and the battery was running out. It is not worth the upgrade.”

However, another buyer disagrees, as their glowing review reads: “This phone is probably one of the greatest from the Apple line. The design is so great and the colour is outstanding, the functionality is great and the strong outer casing feels nice in the hands. The battery life is great and lasts for hours on end and the best thing is it’s light weight.

“The value for money is great because of its features, with the new camera button you can become a professional and take amazing stunning photographs. The 48-megapixel camera shows its potential in all areas, and photos come out at a professional level. The 120 hz display is so good and feels smooth when using.”

You can set up a contract for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro with Sky here for £28 a month with an upfront cost of £12. If you trade in your old device, you could save even more money on the smartphone.
