Cyber Monday marks the final stretch of Black Friday sales, and one standout offer comes from Mobiles.co.uk. The deal bundles the iPhone 16e, 500GB of data, and free AirPods 4 for £24.99 a month on a 24-month contract, with a £126 upfront cost.
The iPhone 16e is Apple's most affordable 2025 model, offering recent iPhone benefits at a lower price. While Sky Mobile offers the cheapest way to buy the iPhone 16e at £17 a month with a free 100MB SIM, that plan includes virtually no data. For 500GB, Sky's Unlimited plan costs £20 a month, totalling £37 monthly—more expensive than this Mobiles.co.uk deal even after factoring in the upfront fee.
Buying directly from Apple would cost £599 for the phone and £119 for AirPods 4, totalling £718. The Mobiles.co.uk deal's total cost is £767.76 (including price rises), leaving just £49.76 for data over 24 months—equivalent to £2.08 a month for 500GB, which is unbeatably cheap.
However, shoppers could skip the free AirPods and opt for the same phone and data plan without the gift for £24.99 a month with no upfront cost. AirPods 4 are currently available in Black Friday sales for £99 from Amazon and Argos, cheaper than the £126 upfront fee. So, buying the AirPods separately and taking the no-gift plan may be more cost-effective.
Black Friday deals are ending soon, with many retailers returning to normal prices after 2 December. This offer may sell out quickly, so interested shoppers should act fast.
