If you're not ready to splurge for an iPhone X, a deal on an iPhone 8 can save you money. The iPhone 8 is a simple upgrade from last year's iPhone 7, and as such, the price hasn't increased too much, though it's a little more expensive, likely due to the increased storage of the base model, wireless charging, and its improved processor.

Apple released the iPhone 8 in September with a list price of $699.99 for the 64GB model and $849.99 for the 256GB version, and those prices haven't dropped in the interim. Nevertheless, there are ways to get a deal, especially if you trade in an old phone.
