Is your current phone in good working condition? Make sure it stays that way. You should be able to use it to knock down the upfront cost of buying a 2018 iPhone model. 

Apple's new iPhones won't be cheap. The cheapest model is likely going to be the 6.1-inch LCD model and it's starting price could be anywhere from $600-800 according to the latest reports. 

As for the other two, respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone X Plus will take the top spot starting at $900-$1,000 while the second generation OLED iPhone X will be priced somewhere between $800-$900. 

That's a lot to a lot of people, but you can expect to save some money on an iPhone XS, iPhone X Plus, or the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone if you've got a phone in good condition via trade-in offers.

You should expect Apple and its retail partners to offer enticing trade-ins that will knock hundreds of dollars off the price of a new phone provided it's in good condition.
