How much does the iPhone 16 cost in Australia?

Apple really bucked the trend this year, with the iPhone 16 starting at a little less than last year's iPhone 15. It's as though we've traveled back in time, with this year's iPhone lineup priced fairly similarly to the iPhone 14 lineup of two years ago. Inflation? What inflation?

The iPhone 16 is set to go on sale on 20 September, 2024, with preorders available from 13 September. Make sure to check back here when preorders go live, or visit our iPhone 16 plans page to find the cheapest iPhone 16 available on a plan from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

The iPhone is the most popular smartphone in the world so unless there's some cataclysmic event that disrupts the fabric of reality, this is where you will be able to purchase the iPhone 16: 

• Apple
• Telstra
• Optus
• Vodafone
• Kogan
• JB Hi-Fi
• Harvey Norman
• Costco
• The Good Guys
• Bing Lee
• Officeworks 
• Amazon

If you're not keen on shelling out a bunch of money upfront, you can get the iPhone 16 on a plan from Vodafone, Optus and Telstra. You can spread device payments out over 12, 24 or 36 months. This does mean, however, you'll be locked into one provider for awhile. But, if you're happy to stick with one of the big three telcos, and want that shiny new iPhone amortised over a few years, have a look at all the plans below.
