does Apple's own website ever have sales on new iPhones?(11 or SE)

thanks!
 
Sometimes Apple might offer a bundle. Like a gift card or accessory. But it's pretty rare. I can't think of any actual sale prices though.

Nope. Will be same price up until the new device’s keynote, at which point the previous model could be discontinued.

As the other replies indicated, the answer is no. However, if you're looking at saving on an Apple device, you should look in the Apple on line refurbished store. Items there are refurbished and warranted by Apple and in most instances are like new. You can even buy Apple Care for them. The savings is generally around 10 to 15 %.

Never see sales but when the new ones released you will see price drops.
 
If you are in the military, a veteran or government employee you can get 10% off MSRP.:)
 
State-side: You can also go into an Apple store and price match up to 10% off, if you show Apple the sale price from Microcenter, Amazon or Best Buy.

I got the 10% off doing this twice in 2019.

This is the best idea/reply, I've bought from the refurbished online store, great quality, plus like said, some good savings, but Apple.com rarely ever has sales on their new items. Best place to get a deal is like Amazon, Best Buy or your wireless carrier's store/online store.
 
When an iPhone get discontinued, it is only reduced by $100.00. So it roughly 6-9% off!

I decided that it's not worth the headaches and wait for a sale. Ordered the iPhone SE at full $399.

It was necessary for work because of 100% face mask and full-face shield requirements. was actually using my spare iPhone SE(original) to get around the face unlock problem, but wanted a slightly bigger screen. :)

Not thread-related, but your words make me again realise how fortunate I am to have left the world of work behind. 100% face mask and full-face shield - OMG what a monstrous nightmare people are being put through.

can't even go to McDonald's without a face mask around here... :(
 
If you're looking for an iPhone on a discount, the Apple Store is not the place. Definitely not.

(Maybe the refurbished section but the choice is limited)

Rare. They might have increased trade in when the xr came out to lower overall cost but those are super rare. I wouldn’t count on it. I would check out Amazon since they do refurbished with good deals. Otherwise it’s the cellular companies offering deals.
