With the release of the new iPhone 16, we give you tips on how to get the most out of your purchase.
The next iPhone 16 and its iPhone Plus, iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max versions will go on sale very soon.
The price of a new iPhone 16 will be the same as last year’s iPhone 15. It starts at around $1,129 CAD. The price could go up to $2,349 CAD, if you want the iPhone 16 Pro Max model, with the biggest memory capacity.
Here are the prices that would apply to the various iPhone 16 models:
Which credit card should you use to protect your precious device or to simply earn more rewards points?
To take advantage of the Mobile Device Insurance, your Apple device must be fully charged to your credit card account (or it can be financed through a plan where all monthly payments are charged to your credit card account). Otherwise, the insurance won’t be applicable in the event of an incident.
Also, make sure to keep the credit card used if there is a claim to be made. If your credit card account is closed, the insurance stops.
Many credit cards offer 2-year (from date of purchase), $1,000 Mobile Device Insurance:
Do you want a higher level of coverage?
The RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card offers 2-year, $1,500 Mobile Device Insurance.
To earn more points than usual, use our gift card trick. Take advantage of certain credit cards, which have an additional multiplier for groceries.
For example, with the American Express Cobalt® Card, you get 5X points on grocery purchases. There, you can buy $500 in Apple gift cards at Metro, Super C or many IGAs, to pay for your new Apple Watch Series 10 or iPhone 16.
You will earn 2,500 Membership Rewards points (5 X $500). That’s a minimum reward value of $25.
If you bought your device directly from Apple, you would have had just 500 points, as the American Express Cobalt® Card offers 1X points on “other” purchases.
Please note that a combination of Apple gift card payments and the rest of the payment charged to a credit card will void the warranty as well as the insurance. For peace of mind, purchase Apple Care+. This can also be paid for with gift cards.
Aeroplan eStore, Rakuten and Airmilesshops.ca offer you the chance to earn rewards for your online purchases.
By going through these sites BEFORE you shop at Apple, you can earn cash back, Aeroplan points or AIR MILES miles.
However, make sure to check the exclusions. The newest models are often excluded, but sometimes you may still get the reward… It’s worth giving it a try.
Otherwise, you can always buy an iPhone from last year, like the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They will most likely be sold at a lower liquidation price and will not be excluded.
In order to get the biggest return on your Apple purchase, seize this opportunity to unlock a welcome bonus with a new credit card.

When faced with a major expense like the new iPhone 16, there are several things to consider when choosing the best credit card for the purchase.
Of course, we want to collect as many points as possible, but we must also consider insurance and warranty.
It’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons of all the factors to determine what’s right for your situation. This iPhone 16 purchase with this great accumulation of points will allow you to get it for cheap, in the end!
