Re: phone price drop with new model releases?

[Michael Irons]

It might be worth waiting. If the person that needs your phone can hold on a bit longer. You might want to consider waiting. Some years ago I wanted to upgrade from an iPhone 6, and, the people that I talk to had asked me to wait a little while because a new phone was going to come out soon And we were going to see if the price would drop on the other phones that I might want to get. It turned out that the price had dropped a little bit in for me. It was worth waiting. For you if your person that is needing your phone needs it right away. You may not be able to wait and you might have to just Jump in and do the best you can. The price on some of the phones will drop a little bit it may not drop on others. It is hard to tell with what is gonna happen because of Trump in his wanting to tariff everything in our world. It kind of makes things rough.

The only thing is that I am not sure if the 16E, the SE replacement, would be included in the iPhones that get a discount since it was just released back in the Spring. So it depends on what model you are looking to upgrade to. Chris On Jul 30, 2025, at 10:54 AM, R Van Lant <vanlant2...@msn.com> wrote:  Hi, I want to upgrade my phone from SE 2020. I thought I could capitalize on back to school sales, but saw an article predicting that the  iPhone 17 will come out in September and that would drop prices on older models. In your experience, will prices drop enough to justify waiting for September?   My current phone will go to my daughter, whose phone is having issues, so there is some true need to upgrade.   TIA, Robin   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
