Got $200 back ......sort of
I bought the smaller phone 16 days before the price drop.
Called Apple the morning after the announcement and was offered $200.
I suggested that, instead, I upgrade the phone to the larger and take $100 back from Apple. I was referred to the local Apple store.
They agreed to the deal except for the 10% restock fee for the open/used Iphone I was returning.
I netted the "larger" phone and $50 charged back to my credit card.
