If you’re in the market for a new iPhone, you might want to hold off for a few weeks. With Apple set to introduce the iPhone 7 in just eight days, there’s really no point in plunking down your hard-earned money for an iPhone 6S or other iPhone model when a much better and faster model is just right around the corner.

There is an exception, though.

If you’re in the market for a new iPhone and either a) don’t want to wait for the iPhone 7 or b) don’t care about having the latest and greatest, you might want to check out Apple’s iPhone SE. Released earlier this year, the iPhone SE is effectively a 4-inch version of the iPhone 6S, complete with the same processor, camera, RAM and more. Indeed, the only iPhone 6S feature the SE lacks is support for 3D Touch.

Right now, Best Buy is offering an incredible deal on all iPhone SE models. We should point out that the models available have been refurbished by Best Buy’s Geek Squad, but if that’s not a barrier for you, the savings here are substantial.

You can currently pick up an 16GB iPhone SE for as little as $269.99, a remarkable price which delivers $180 in savings. Even more impressive, though, is the going rate for the 64GB iPhone SE. Per Best Buy’s website, you can purchase a 64GB iPhone SE for $329, thereby saving anywhere between $220 and $270 depending on which color and carrier you go with.

We understand that most people want to get a fresh iPhone, but if you’re looking to get a solid iPhone at a discount, Best Buy’s current iPhone SE promotion is certainly worth taking a look at.
