Review: Beautiful Design and Great Performance, but Consider the iPhone 17 - I’ve been using the iPhone 16 Ultramarine 128GB for about a year now, mainly for calls, social media, emails, and everyday apps like banking. First off, the design is stunning—the Ultramarine color is gorgeous, and the build quality feels fantastic. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and genuinely a pleasure to look at and use. Performance-wise, the iPhone 16 is very fast and handles daily tasks smoothly. Battery life has been solid throughout the year, though it’s starting to show slight wear, but it’s still more than sufficient for general everyday use. On the downside, it only has a 60Hz display, while the iPhone 17 is now available with a 120Hz display and starts at 256GB, which is arguably a better deal for new buyers. I got the iPhone 16 at a great price, and desertcart offered monthly installments, which made it very attractive for me at the time. That said, sometimes I do wonder if waiting for the iPhone 17 would have been the smarter choice. Overall, I would recommend the iPhone 16 Ultramarine 128GB if you can get a good deal. For users who want the latest features or higher storage, the iPhone 17 is worth considering. In short: beautiful design, excellent performance, great for daily tasks, but the newer iPhone 17 offers higher refresh rates and more storage if you’re buying now.
Review: Absolutely no regrets here - This is my first ever iPhone. I’m really happy with it. Looks great, runs without glitches or hiccups even during the most demanding tasks and games. Lightweight and stylish. Camera quality is beyond belief. This has become my everyday companion. I also own a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and this competes fairly well with it. I don’t see myself upgrading to an iPhone Pro anytime soon. This phone really suits all my needs, and alongside my iPads, it’s a powerful tool. Strongly recommend to anyone who may be hesitant to try Apple for the first time. It’s a pleasing experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and good results from this item even though it’s not the latest model
*by M***D on 20 April 2026*

After using my IPhone 11 for many years, I decided I was due an upgrade and have found this model a very suitable replacement. However setting it up has proved challenging, taking quite a long while to complete the task. I am very pleased with its quality.
