SHOPPERS hunting for a new smartphone - and some earbuds to go with it - should head to Carphone Warehouse.
The iPhone 16e, Apple's latest budget-friendly handset, is now available with a free pair of Beats Solo Buds.
Apple iPhone 16e with FREE Beats
Solo Buds: From £26.99p/m
The iPhone 16e, which launched back in February, is Apple's latest effort to provide a more affordable option for those who don't want to shell out for its flagship models.
Of course, like most things Apple, 'affordable' is a relative term, with the device starting at £599 - but in comparison to the standard iPhone 16 and its bigger siblings, the 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, it's a lot cheaper.
Apple has made notable upgrades, too, when you compare it against the last budget-friendly handset, the 3rd-generation SE which came out in 2022.
The Home button is gone, replaced by a sleek 6.1-inch OLED screen, and Face ID now replaces Touch ID.
Apple has also switched to USB-C charging, so you can use the same cable for your phone, tablet, and other devices.
The camera is upgraded too: though it has just one rear lens, it doubles as a telephoto with 2x zoom, perfect for portraits or zooming in without losing quality.
Video capabilities shine with 4K Dolby Vision at 60fps, ideal for capturing high-quality footage.
Battery life is another win, with up to 26 hours of video playback, easily lasting a full day or even two.
And of course, there's that deal-sweetener: Carphone Warehouse is throwing in a free pair of Beats Solo Buds when you pick up the iPhone 16e on a pay-monthly plan.
The Solo Buds are a straightforward and reliable set of earbuds that don't include premium features like noise cancellation but still deliver excellent sound quality.
They're currently available for separately on Amazon for £79.99.
These big-brand buds offer up to 18 hours of battery life, and with the quick-charge feature, you can get an hour of playback from just a 5-minute charge.
They're also compatible with both iPhones and Android devices, so you won't have to worry about switching ecosystems if you ever decide to change your phone in the future.

Apple iPad Pro on sale for just £129 in Wowcher deal down £170
Apple, renowned for its high-quality products and innovative features, offers a broad spectrum of devices including smartphones, laptops, and smart watches for tech enthusiasts to savour. Among the tech giant's most sought-after gadgets is the iPad. Perfect for binge-watching your favourite series on the move, these handy devices also allow users to complete their work without lugging around a hefty laptop. However, these devices do carry a substantial price tag, with even the simplest modern iPad starting at over £300. If this exceeds your budget but you're keen on acquiring an Apple device, it's recommended to consider some older models. Wowcher currently boasts a smashing deal on a refurbished 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Slashed from £299.99 down to £129, shoppers will save £170 on their purchase. However, it's worth noting that this device is the model launched in 2017, reports the Daily Record. Fitted with the A10X Fusion chip, the device is still capable of executing most of the basic tasks shoppers would expect a tablet to perform, despite the chip's age. This iPad Pro even retains the old Apple design which incorporates a home button. Moreover, with 64GB of storage, this device provides ample space to store all the essential apps, photos and videos. It should also be noted that this 2017 iPad no longer receives updates from Apple, leaving it on iOS 17. Consequently, users won't receive any new security updates, potentially making their stored data more vulnerable than on a newer model. Moreover, as this is a refurbished device, it has had previous owners and has been professionally restored to its original state. This suggests that while there might be some slight cosmetic wear, the tablet is expected to function just as it did when brand new. For those shoppers looking for a more recent Apple device, Amazon has cut the price of the iPad 11-inch slightly. Usually retailing at £329, it is currently available for £309.97. Equipped with the blazing-fast A16 chip, buyers will be treated to a Liquid Retina display and a generous 128GB capacity. On the other hand, if someone is interested in exploring an Android option, Argos is offering a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. Typically sold for £189, customers can get a 20% discount using the code RED20 at the checkout, bringing the price down to £151.20. Despite a smaller eight-inch display, the device still boasts 128GB of storage. Returning to the Wowcher promotion, INCTABLET brings the iPad Pro offer to the table and prides itself on a commendable 4.4-star TrustPilot rating. A satisfied customer reported: "Amazing staff and customer service. I had an issue with my iPad and it was resolved in 48 hours. That included the return of the iPad and a replacement arriving back to me." Another shopper also commended: "Just bought a used Apple iPad Pro from these guys, and what a great experience. Super competitive price, next-day despatch and the iPad was in pristine condition. Even came with a brand new charging cable. Can't praise them enough." Some reviewers left less positive three star reviews, with one stating: "When my iPad arrived on December 4th (a surprise gift for my son) the quality of the screen was unacceptable to me, as it had way too many scratches which I was not expecting. "However when I complained to the company IncTablet, they responded quickly that very same day and have apologised, offering to replace the iPad for a better one." A second three-star review says: "I ordered an iPad off Wowcher from this company over two weeks ago and I've only just heard back. I'm hoping it will be delivered by end of week, quite a quick email back to try resolve the issue." Despite this, another delighted shopper wrote: "Absolutely amazing products at amazing prices. I purchased an apple iPad Air 3 from these and it was in immaculate condition, very easy to purchase and very quick delivery too. I would definitely purchase from these again."

Clock is ticking to grab £60 off Ninja Doublestack XL Air Fryer in limited-time deal An air fryer has become a household essential, and now shoppers can snap one up for less This massive air fryer makes cooking healthy meals a breeze (Image: Amazon ) Air fryers have quickly become an essential for every household. They are known to make cooking healthy meals easier, quicker and efficient for everyone as they cut cooking time back hugely. However, it can be expensive to invest in a good quality one and shoppers often find themselves doing without. Now, they are in luck as they can snag the NInja Double Stack XL Air Fryer for £209.01 down from £269.99 on Amazon. The Ninja airfryer is said to be 30% slimmer than the AF400, helping save space on shoppers counters. Despite the smaller footprint, it has an extra-large 9.5L capacity - enough to cook for up to eight people - and can cook up to 55% faster than a fan oven (tested on fish fingers and sausages). READ MORE: Save £300 on 'fantastic' rattan garden corner sofa and footstool READ MORE: Amazon shoppers hail game-changing portable Ninja blender as 'best little blender ever' It features two drawers and two meal racks, giving shoppers four cooking levels. Rear-positioned fans also help ensure even cooking and crisping across all levels and the unit is said to use up to 55% less energy than a traditional oven - based on sausage cooking tests using the air fry function. With the air fryer comes six cooking modes - max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. It includes two 4.75L drawers, two non-stick crisper plates and two racks. All parts are completely dishwasher safe and it comes with a 2-year guarantee when registered.

One shopper said: 'I love air fryers and I really love this one, it takes up less room than my last one. Yes it's a big investment but it's so versatile, well made and you have the security of having a well known and established quality brand. You can cook almost anything in it, it's easy to clean, saves a fortune by not using the oven, and the energy efficiency is great. Controls are easy to navigate. The top drawer tends to cook quicker than the bottom drawer which is fine. I would highly recommend this to anyone, small families, large families, absolutely great products.' Another wrote: 'This thing has absolutely no business being this good. It's like having a tiny kitchen wizard on your counter who somehow knows how to make chips better than you ever could. The 9.5L size is a game-changer — you can actually cook for real people, not just two sad potato wedges at a time.' 'I have cooked roast potatoes for a roast, perfect. Chips are crispy and not dried out or hard. Fish cooked well as well as chicken items. Can't wait to try everything else, possibilities are endless,' said another buyer. Some did share opposing opinions, as one shopper said: 'This is not the best. In fact I'm really disappointed with it. This is the second ninja we have purchased the first was brilliant couldn't fault it but this takes twice as long to cook anything.' Article continues below 'I am disappointed with my purchase, it has not functioned correctly for some time now,' said another. However, for £60 off a great quality option, the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer could be a perfect buy.

Stanley's viral tumbler is 40% off — its lowest price ever right now
Keeping a reusable water bottle (that you actually like and sip from) on hand is one of the best ways to get your daily water intake high. And when those scorching hot days roll around, you may want a bottle that's particularly known for keeping water cold and refreshing. Enter: Stanley's viral Quencher Tumbler — the uber popular reusable water bottle, known for keeping drinks cold for hours, is currently 40% off on Amazon, which also happens to be its lowest price ever. Both the 30- and 40-ounce tumblers are almost half off so it's the perfect time to cash in on the trend. The Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, often referred to as just 'a Stanley ' has double-wall insulation properties and a stainless steel, BPA-free interior that helps keep drinks like water ice cold for up to 11 hours, according to the brand. I've tried out the Stanley myself and I often put ice water in it before going to bed and wake up to ice cubes in almost full form in the morning. Plus, I love that the bottom of the bottle is compatible with many cup holders, including the ones on the treadmill at my gym. The tumbler, which is available in a 30-ounce handled version, is available in a long list of colors and designs, including many limited-edition and themed ones. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a commerce editor at NBC Select, where I write about deals and sale events on reusable water bottles and other everyday accessories and small home appliances. I found this deal by look across retailers and brands online.
