Can you even get an iPhone for $700 anymore? When I got the 6S (not plus) with 128GB memory for myself and my wife they were $1100 each I think?

They still sell iPhone SEs for under $500, although that's debatable about whether it's an actual iPhone or not.

The 128GB 6S was $849 USD. 64 was $750 and 16 was $650.

You have to include Applecare+ or you're buying a phone without a warranty. That's another $150 i think and then tax

When people compare phone prices, they don't count extended warranties in the listed price.

iPhones have a warranty at list price; AppleCare extends it and increases the scope of service.

I do agree that anyone who plans on purchasing an extended warranty for any product research it ahead of time so the total purchase price fits into their budget, though, and the same goes for sales taxes.
