The iPhone 6s might be the hottest smartphone hitting stores tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean all iPhone buyers are necessarily interested in purchasing Apple’s latest handset, no matter how crazy some offers might be. In fact, some people will want to buy the year-old iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, both still officially available in Apple stores for $100 less than their corresponding iPhone 6s versions. But you absolutely shouldn’t order that iPhone 6 yet, at least not until you’ve seen these deals.

Spoiler alert: these aren’t brand new iPhone 6 models, but that doesn’t make the following deal any less enticing. After all, they’re only a year old at the most, which means many of them still have some warranty left.

Gazelle is ready to sell used iPhone 6 units for up to $180 less than the corresponding new models. According to the company, all iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus prices will be lowered by $40, from September 24th through September 30th, netting customers savings of between $81 and $181 compared to Apple’s official prices, depending on the iPhone 6 model and its condition.

In other words, buying an unlocked 16GB iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S Plus from Gazelle will be $81 cheaper than Apple.com, while carrier versions of the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus will get you up to $181 in savings.

Check the table below for more details about Gazelle’s upcoming used iPhone 6 pricing structure.

The iPhone 6 price drop isn’t necessarily surprising, considering that last year’s iPhones have already started losing resale value now that the iPhone 6s is finally available. If you’re not in a hurry to buy an iPhone and you’re fine with owning a used device, then you might be better off waiting a little longer, as iPhone 6 prices might further drop on sites like Gazelle and many others.
