Surprise deal lowers iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max prices by $150 with installments

Unless you have something good to trade in, it’s probably not a good idea to pre-order the hot new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max directly from Apple’s US online store. That’s because a bunch of interesting deals are available elsewhere, from the customary carrier BOGO dance to the compelling freebies you can get at Sam’s Club and Visible and Walmart’s small but notable discount with qualifying activations.
Alternatively, you can score $100 off the list prices of the 64 gig iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max configurations with a one-time Best Buy payment of $600, $900, and $1,000 respectively and an upfront activation on the same aforementioned network. Interestingly, the $100 discount also applies to higher-storage variants with upfront payment, but the only other model marked down on installment plans is the 128GB “regular” iPhone 11.
