It was a lot cheaper in September 2018 and is still keeping up with this years iPhones. Now is perhaps the best time as the deals right now are excellent.
Are you referring to specific deals from a particular seller ? I'm seeing a constant price of $599 on BestBuy (has been that way since Sept 2018), and that's been my go-to place for Apple products. If you could point me to some of those deals, I'd appreciate it. Thanks !
(Oh, and no refurbished, please. New only.)
