Apple's latest smartphone is already at a knockdown price thanks to this Wednesday offer

Do we really need to present the iPhone 16, Apple's new smartphone which benefits from all the brand's latest innovations in all areas, including AI? Well, maybe a little. But, before that, know that you can order it 180 euros cheaper today, and that's a pleasure.

Why upgrade to iPhone 16

• The democratization of the Action button, which appeared on the iPhone 15 Pro
• It is ready to welcome Apple Intelligence in 2025 (in France)
• Performance beyond belief

Available since last September, the iPhone 16 costs 969 euros on the official website. But on Rakuten, a seller is offering it for 839 euros and, on Wednesday October 30, with the code Rakuten30you can have it for 779 euros.

We also find the iPhone 15 on sale for only 669 euros with the same promotional code.

If, subsequently, the offer mentioned in this article is no longer available, please take a look below to find other offers relating to the iPhone 16. The table updates automatically.

New products that lack a little appeal

As punctual as the start of the school year and Beaujolais, Apple releases its new iPhone every year (with a few exceptions), causing enormous enthusiasm among the user community. Is this 16th iteration really worth it? Well it all depends on your situation. If you've had an iPhone 15 for a short time, honestly, you can keep it a little longer before upgrading to a future generation.

For what ? Quite simply because the additions are perhaps not worth the investment: the Action button, an ultra wide-angle which has a Macro mode and the Camera Control, a sort of button on the edge which allows you to launch instantly the camera. Without forgetting that Apple had announced the arrival of Apple Intelligence, an AI which is still not available and is announced for a very vague “2025”.

It still remains an excellent smartphone

Because you have to know how to maintain reason, it must be said: the iPhone 16 still remains a very good phone. We could slap Apple on the wrist for still offering a screen stuck at 60 Hz, but for the rest: it's mind-blowing.

The Apple A18 chip with its 8 GB of RAM manages to keep up without getting overheated, no matter what you're doing. Launch the most greedy of games: it won't flinch. The 60 Hz? Forgotten with the 6.1″ Oled panel which still displays 1179 x 2556 pixels with HDR compatibility to delight your eyes.

The camera is still as efficient as ever with a 48 Mpx wide-angle and a 12 Mpx ultra-wide-angle for filming in 4K at 60 frames/second. In terms of autonomy, no surprises or miracles with a day of use and not really fast charging of 27W.

To learn more about the iPhone 16, the friends at Numerama did a complete test of it, together with the iPhone 16 Plus (which is just a larger version) which you find right here.
