Description
Two years after launch, the iPhone 16 is still sold new as Apple’s entry model with a dual-camera system. It introduced the Camera Control button and the Action button to the standard iPhone, and its A18 chip brought Apple Intelligence support to the standard iPhone.

What to check before you buy
- SIM tray: US iPhone 16 units are eSIM only, while Canadian units keep a nano-SIM tray; check which one suits you.
- Unlocked vs carrier: “unlocked” in the title is not enough; ask the seller to confirm it is not tied to a carrier or financing plan, and check the IMEI on the carrier’s or Apple’s coverage page.
- Old stock: confirm the box is factory sealed, not a refurbished unit relisted as new.
- Activation Lock: a new, sealed iPhone should power on to the Hello screen with no previous Apple Account attached. Refuse any unit that asks for someone else’s Apple Account.
