The price of a new, unlocked iPhone XR in the US right now appears to match the price of a new, unlocked iPhone 8 at this time last year.
It is generally the case that the standard current-year iPhone model takes over roughly the previous model's price point at release, and the now-previous-year model undergoes a price drop.
The introduction of a new tier (the higher-end, occupied last year by the X and this year by the XS) is a change, but has not done away with the iterations of "this year's model" and "last year's model" in the tiers below it.
