I currently have an iPhone 6s and I am on a 30 month installment plan with my carrier and at 24 months you can upgrade but you have to trade in your phone. I am now at the 24 mark and to keep my phone I have $108 dollars left to pay on it. Right now my carrier is having a sale of $200 off any iPhone. Should I upgrade or not. My battery hasn’t been lasting too long in my 6s and I am attaching a screenshot of my health below. What would you do?
 
my guess is there will be sales with the old iphone once the new ones are out. plus if the battery is bad, can't you get it replace for $29 right now?

Another thing to consider if you are a T-Mobile customer is the 600Mhz long range band 71 which will probably be available in the upcoming iPhone. That band can have a huge impact on signal quality especially in buildings and rural areas. TMO is deploying it fairly quickly. TMO has roaming agreement with US Cellular so it may still make a difference in some areas.

If you are sure you will stay with US cellular I suppose it doesn’t matter if you buy an iPhone 8 or 7 but I’d still wait till the new gen for prices to fall on the older ones.
