Apple first unveiled the iPhone 8 in September 2017, alongside the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. The eleventh generation of the iPhone, the iPhone 8 was the successor to the previous year’s iPhone 7 and introduced a handful of new features like wireless charging, a faster processor, fast charging, and an improved True Tone display. Today, the iPhone 8 is now a little over 2 years old and while there are lots of reasons to pick up the latest and greatest iPhones Apple has to offer, there’s also a good reason NOT to: Apple’s ever growing prices.

For those that don’t care about having the latest bells and whistles, budget minded shoppers can find huge savings simply by choosing a previous generation iPhone. On Swappa, the current used price for the iPhone 8 starts at $255 — that’s over 45% off Apple’s new retail price. Because used prices are dropping all of the time, there’s never a bad time to buy a used iPhone 8.

iPhone 8 Price History

(Average prices on Swappa)

When the iPhone 8 first came out, the new retail price was $699 (64GB) and $849 (256GB). iPhone 8 colors included silver (white), gold (peach hue), and Space Gray (Apple’s version of black). The following year, Apple introduced a special edition iPhone 8 PRODUCT(RED) color option a few months before the new iPhone lineup was announced. In September 2018, the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR were unveiled and Apple dropped the iPhone 8’s price down to $599 and $749.

Is the iPhone 8 discontinued?

In September 2019, Apple dropped the price of the iPhone 8 again, where it is now currently $449 (64GB) and $499 (128GB) brand new. Apple also discontinued the iPhone 8 256GB (in addition to the iPhone XS and XS Max), more than likely to set the phone apart as the most affordable phone in Apple’s lineup. That means if you had your heart set on the larger 256GB iPhone 8, you’ll have to search for used or refurbished models.
