Best way to purchase a couple iPhone X’s?

I’m with ATT. I just really don’t understand why now we get zero credits for contract extending and we forced to purchase the phone for 30 months. $38 something per phone. So what route is best?

Wait until September when the new iPhones come out and buy them used from Swappa.

Cell providers no longer want to subsidize the cost of the phone for you. They play on the American mentality of “If I can afford the monthly note then I can afford it.” Buy it outright or on Swappa like others have said. There are really well taken care of used phones for great prices.
Leasing a phone is stupid.

Just purchase them outright. Looking on Apple's store, they are sold for $999. From what you listed at 38/month for 30 months, that comes out to $1,140. I have never understood the idea about financing a cell phone. If you don't have the money to just buy one outright, then you're really making an impulse buy and it's not a smart financial decision. If you don't have the cash on hand, simply save up the money first.

Ebay

Just bought two from Verizon. Put on the 24 month plan. No interest, so why not?
They gave us $300 credit for trading in each of our old crapped out 6's. Just have to send them in within 15 days in a prepaid envelope. Gives you time to ensure you transferred all data before wiping.
Switched from AT&T. Paying about the same monthly, but getting two iPhone X's, and the bill will drop a good bit after 24 months.

I just got the iPhone X through a Buy 1 get 1 free deal. I believe we only were able to get it by adding an additional line, which I had to do anyway for my son.
Maybe you could add a line and cancel another line afterward?
ETA: was through ATT
