£819 at the apple store
I know they are rarely discounted, but there must be options?
tia
Someone with a trade account might get 5% off, Apple regulate prices with an iron fist.
I've got one, it's lovely, but so was my 6. The fake button and associated waterproofness is cool though.
Wait until September. 256Gb iPhone 8, waterproof, wireless charging, etc.
It'll give you the time to save the money.
S'what I'm doing, anyhoo.
Apple do 0% to spread the payments.
Personally, spending £800 on a phone makes my teeth itch.
I think the normal think to say here when it comes to iStuff is that the resale value is so high that the initial cost is largely irrelevant.
Heck, it might even appreciate!
very.co.uk have a £50 off 500 or more spend until the 13th - and you can pay interest free over 12mths

That's 7 months away. There's always a new one just around the corner, and you have no idea it'll include any of those features.
May be worth looking if any vendors are doing cash back OP, possibly a better way to get a discount.
Many companies have employee purchase discounts with Apple. Though these are usually small e.g. Jet Black 128GB iPhone 7 Plus delivering February 14 £802.80.
Or find a student?
John Lewis don't discount them but they do include their own guarantee.
Use a cash back credit card too?
Don't forgot to allow for a big bag of cotton wool to wrap it in !! Bloody fragile things. Take out the Apple care to get your screen replacement so when it breaks ..............

I know what you mean, but at the same time, there is no single item I own that gets as much use.
And I'm a fully paid up fanboi 😳
Through our benefits scheme at work I managed to get 5% off a pre-loaded John Lewis card. Used it to get my Dad a 7 before Christmas.
@pretty not sure students get discounts on phones.
Cheapeast way to find a nearly new phone seller, people sometimes sell unwanted upgrades.
IMO its worth paying retail px from Apple for service, thats what I do. Also guaranteed properly unlocked

Well pay up then, Apple don't do discounts it would devalue the brand man...

So it's seven months away, so what? Surely it's better to wait the seven months and get the next full redesign of the phone rather than the intermediate version which is what the current one is.
Every tech analyst is giving consistent details on what they're certain the next top of the range iPhones will have, based on supply chain info, and it appears most likely that it'll be waterproof to IP68, have an OLED screen, glass front and back with curved edges, a stainless steel frame like the iP4/4s, which will reduce costs and is easier to manufacture, plus it'll be more rigid and less prone to flexing like aluminium, strong possibility of facial recognition for security, this is already built into iOS and OS X, a touch home button under the glass, no moving parts, like the IP7s already has, and possibly wireless charging, Apple has already purchased a company with this tech.
A very quick Google will give details on the various supply chain sources to back this up, plus it'll be ten years since the first iPhone hit the market, so it'll be a significant point in time to do a total revamp of the phone.
My iP6+ is well over two years old, but still working fine, I'd have to be bloody daft to go for a few relatively small changes and get the current version rather than wait a few months for a phone that I won't have to worry about getting wet when I'm outdoors, and will likely have even better camera technology than the current phones.
My OH just got an SE 64GB.
£399 at John Lewis inc 2 yr guarantee.
An iPhone SE is not an iPhone 7 Plus.
I think I can get a 10% by buying a preloaded Currys discount card through work.
Apple regulate prices with an iron fist.
Don't we (the EU) have laws about that sort of thing?
[i]An iPhone SE is not an iPhone 7 Plus. [/I]
Yes I know, just pointing out that JL is a good place to buy stuff due to guarantees etc.
Pretty sure that students get 10 percent discount. At least they offered that to my daughter who was looking at an iPhone a while ago.

Absolutely, but it's so easy to get around it's untrue.
