eBay is currently offering the unlocked 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus at a lower price than Apple's $749. The phablet is on sale for $709.99, but a coupon code brings the final price to $659.99 shipped.

Apple prides itself on not being the first to enter a new product category; instead the company takes its time to create a product that is simple and intuitive compared with devices made by its rivals. When the company unveiled the original iPod in November 2001, the device wasn't the first MP3 player on the market. Companies like Archos, Creative, Cowon and RCA had a head-start and owned the MP3 player space. What set the iPod apart from competing devices was its gorgeous design, intuitive click wheel and an interface that allowed anyone to pick up the iPod and immediately understand how to use it, unlike rival devices that typically required users to study a manual to figure out how to use all of the buttons that adorned them. While not first device of its kind, the iPod went on to become the only MP3 player that mattered and marked the beginning of Apple's comeback.

Apple proved itself once again when it entered the smartphone market in 2007, a time when companies like BlackBerry and Palm were market leaders. It didn't take Apple long to repeat the success it had achieved with the iPod with the iPhone.

Last September, Apple once again entered a market that was dominated by players like Samsung, who already had a couple of successful years under its belt building jumbo-sized smartphones as part of its Galaxy Note lineup. When the iPhone 6 Plus went on sale, it became clear that Apple once again achieved huge success by not being the first in the phablet game, and the iPhone 6 Plus continues to be one of the most popular and most sold iPhones from Apple.

If you've been considering making the jump to the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus but don't want to sign a new two-year contract with a carrier or spend the $749 Apple currently charges for the unlocked 16 GB version, eBay is offering it at considerable savings, and a coupon code lowers the price even more.

9To5Toys is reporting that eBay is offering 10 percent off select technology orders of $200 or more when using coupon code CDTECH10 at checkout. The site notes that the maximum discount applied with this code is $50, which means you can score an unlocked 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus for $659.99, with shipping included.
