Unlocked iPhone 16 with 128GB storage

This unlocked Apple iPhone 16 comes with 128GB of internal storage in a black finish. It is intended for buyers who want a fully unlocked handset without carrier restrictions. The device is rated C grade, meaning the body may show dents, cracks, chips or scuffs and the LCD screen may have scratches or dark spots. Buyers who need a pristine cosmetic condition should consider a higher grade.

A18 chip and 48MP Fusion camera

The A18 chip provides a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU alongside an upgraded Neural Engine for on-device AI tasks. The 48MP Fusion main camera adds ultra-high resolution capture and 2x optical zoom capability. These components deliver flagship-level processing and photography in the standard 6.1-inch form factor. The Ceramic Shield front and colour-infused glass back remain part of the structural design regardless of cosmetic imperfections.

Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and eSIM limitation

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support enables the latest wireless standard where compatible networks exist. In the USA the model uses eSIM only, so buyers who rely on a physical nano-SIM cannot activate service on this unit. APAC variants include a nano-SIM slot alongside eSIM. The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display reaches 2000 nits peak brightness with Dynamic Island, but the C-grade screen may have visible scratches or dark spots that affect viewing quality.

Questions about this item

Will the Ceramic Shield front or colour-infused glass back need replacement if the existing dents or cracks worsen?

The C-grade description notes possible dents, cracks, chips or scuffs on the body and scratches or dark spots on the LCD; any future screen or back-glass repair would be handled through Apple or an authorised service provider.

What limits sustained performance on the A18 chip during long gaming sessions?

The 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU share the 6.1-inch chassis with passive cooling, so thermal throttling under continuous load is the first limit you will encounter.

How hot does the aluminium frame get and does the fan spin up during all-day use?

There is no fan; the aluminium frame dissipates heat passively, so the device warms noticeably during prolonged 48MP camera or Wi-Fi 7 activity but remains within normal operating temperatures.
