You should wait until September to buy your next iPhone.

That's when Apple’s new models are expected to roll out and it means two things: 1) You'll be able to buy the latest and greatest version, which could reportedly cost $1100, or 2) You can get an older model at a discount.

I understand wanting to have the freshest technology, but the price tag hurts. You can still get some impressive features on the older iPhone models, like portrait mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, wireless charging on the iPhone 8, and Face ID on the iPhone X. And you won't have to drop a grand.
