Yeah, $70. Still, it's a massive departure from Apple's SOP.

True

I’ve always heard it’s good to order the older phone during the new phone announcement. That way when the order goes through and they’ve pulled the old phone off the site right after the new phone announce, there is a pretty hefty discount on the purchase.

How does that work, if you purchase it you're agreeing to that price?

They take some of the products off the shelf when new ones are introduced, so if you time it right you can get those discontinued products at a cheaper price
