Earlier in the month, Sprint launched an iPhone 8 discount program that brought the total price of the smartphone down by $350 through discounting the cost of monthly leases. Today the carrier has revealed a similar promotion will be coming to Apple`s iPhone X, just a few days before pre-orders for the device begin on October 27.
Like the iPhone 8 deal, there are a few stipulations to come with Sprint`s discount.

With the 18-month discount and 6-month regular price, the 64GB iPhone X would come out to about $650 total, down from $999.
Additionally, Sprint announced that it will offer a `best price guarantee` for the iPhone X, so if you see a nationally advertised lower price within 14 days of your Sprint lease activation or preorder, you can receive the difference via a Visa Prepaid Card.
Verizon also announced its own iPhone X promotion today, but it appears the carrier is simply offering up to $300 off the device in regards to eligible smartphone trade-ins. Verizon hasn`t yet delved into what this could be on a monthly lease basis for the ...
