Why It's a Bad Time to Buy an iPhone ...Middle East

So hold onto that cracked-screened phone for just a little longer if you can, and you'll be able to either get the newest model, or pay less for an older one, And if you must buy an iPhone this summer, and you don't care about having the best phone possible, one model in particular is a relatively safe purchase.

Some years, Apple breaks things up. The iPhone 12 was announced in October 2020 and came out shortly after (though you can probably blame COVID for that one), and the iPhone X didn’t hit stores until November 2017, even though it was announced in September. But mid-September is a safe bet for the next-gen iPhone announcement.

How iPhone prices are likely to change when the iPhone 17 is released

When Apple officially reveals a new model, the price of older phones falls, usually as soon as the announcement is made. There's no way of predicting how far the price of older model iPhones will drop when the new one is announced, but, last year when Apple announced the iPhone 16, the price of the 15 dropped by $100, and "$100 less" has been the pattern of older-model price drops over the last few generations.

Then there are tariffs to consider.

The one Apple phone it’s probably safe to buy now

If you can’t wait and you need an affordable iPhone now, your best bet is the iPhone 16e. Apple's budget-conscious SE phones have a sporadic release schedule. The first came out in 2016, the second in 2020, and the third in 2022. The iPhone 16e was released in February of this year, so the $599 price is likely to stay the same for a while, and it's a great phone for the price.
