With hype around launch of Apple’s new flagship phone, knockdown effect on pricing for year-old iPhone 8 went unnoticed – so now may be time to buy one

Apple may have just unveiled brand-new iPhones, but there’s still plenty to like about its older devices – and they’re now cheaper than ever before.

After introducing the iPhone XR, iPhone Xs, and iPhone Xs Max last Wednesday, Apple dropped the prices of some of its older devices.

While the priciest iPhone now exceeds US$1,100, a year-old phone such as the iPhone 8 will cost you a more manageable US$600.

And the price isn’t the only thing to love about the iPhone 8 – its design and specs are still competitive with Apple’s new flagship phone.

Here are 6 reasons to still buy the iPhone 8 over the new iPhone Xs:

1. The iPhone 8 costs US$400 less than the iPhone Xs

If you’re looking for an affordable phone with up-to-date specs, the iPhone 8 is a solid option. It starts at US$599, or monthly payments of US$24.95.

Of course, if you’re looking for more storage, the price will increase significantly.
