on the heels of Apple's iPhone 11 family announcement roughly six months ago, the 2018-released is still available at a starting price of no less than $1,000 from authorized third-party retailers like Best Buy.

A $700 markdown is a different kettle of fish, though, and believe it or not, that's exactly how much you can save at the time of this writing if you don't have a problem meeting a couple of special requirements.
