@@Tommy-qe6fh yep. All iPhones since iOS 8 are simlock free in the EU cuz simlock illegal here. Have heard it worked, but havent tested myself. But I know for a fact that it works if you got a simlocked US iPhone in the EU physically
@@pyrofestimo did you actually try it? Like set up a vpn in your home network, so basically your router if you aint got a seperate AP, and update then (without a simcard in I guess, maybe even airplane mode)
Got this SE for $50 during black friday. Only had to pay first month's service, and wait 60 days for it to automatically unlock. Total came out to ~$110
I was trying to get it back then and Walmart employees didn’t activate phones. Apparently, you need to go to a Walmart that has the activation ability. So couldn’t get the discount.
Also if your wanting a phone you can use on your regular Verizon plan Walmart has this phone locked to the Verizon prepaid plan which is different then total I know it works because i went to buy one and they accidentally gave me the total one which was 179 but when my sim didn’t work I returned it telling them I needed the Verizon prepaid one and luckily they had it in stock and it was cheaper.
I just got a brand new iPhone 14 on Tuesday using only the money I earn on my TH-cam channel since I don't have a regular job (I'm a teenager, 14). I upgraded from an iPhone 8. I'm very much impressed with the battery life on this phone right now. I took if off charge Wednesday morning at about 9AM and didn't plug it in until yesterday evening around 7pm and it was still at 55%. Very first phone I bought with my own money too!
Bro I'm almost 16 and i had a TH-cam channel with 18k subscribers but i couldnt earn money as in oir country monetization is disabled (I'm from uzb 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿)
I bought a iPhone 12 through straight talk in march. I’ve had service on it ever since I bought it. Today I checked and it was just automatically unlocked. So happy
If anyone was wondering which one to get, I would DEFINITELY go for the se 3. Sure, the iPhone 11 has the better screen, battery, and cameras, but at the same time, the 11 won't be supported for too much longer. The se 3 just released two years ago, so it should have another four years of updates, and I would definitely say it's worth the price it's being sold for.
Interesting how the 11 came in the thinner box, I remember it being the last iPhone that had the thick box that actually included a power adapter and EarPods.
I actually work for Verizon prepaid sector inside Walmart and most of our phone sales are these phones. I've never once had any issues with these getting returned or having to set them up as I do in store set up also. I highly recommend people getting these phones even if it's just for the month.
You need your account number, and a Number Transfer Pin from your current carrier. The phone number HAS to be active as well. Some carriers are easier than others, but yes, you should from any carrier. @williamli4422
I work at Walmart’s electronics department. The reasons for the cheap prices is the other carrier listed there “Straight Talk” Walmart biggest prepaid provider. These phones can be had for even less at times with special promotion running for a couple of weeks. For the SE we’ve seen $99 with a new line and in store activation. During a Black Friday event the same SE was completely free with the same new line and in store activation. It can be tricky to get these promotions as a third party vendor that works inside of Walmart selling post paid phones “Premium Wireless” are the ones primarily responsible for doing the promotion but most of them are not willing to do it for the customers as they don’t make as big of a cut from it as compared to selling their required post paid phone for per day.
See my store is small enough that we don't have any of the 3rd party folks here so we have to do the warp orders for those promos. Now we also don't do any postpaid stuff only prepaid and we only do warp orders if there's a promo on that specific phone.
Im an electronics associate at walmart and I must say you got a pretty good deal on these iphones. Cricket, boost, and AT&T versions of these are more expensive. Prices vary between different prepaid carriers. Unfortunately my store does not carry total by version because our area doesn't meet the coverage requirements to sell verizon and their subsidaries. I used an iphone 11 for a few years. Still a good iPhone from my own personal experience. Wal-mart now sells the iPhone 12 as a prepaid option. Soon enough the iPhone 16 or iPhone 15's successor may be when the iPhone 13 will become a prepaid option.
@@kidjiujitsu I assume you got your phone activated in store. I was specificially stating that it costs more to get the phone without an in-store activation.
The SE 3rd Gen I got during the promo in January (missed the Black Friday one) was a GODSEND for my trip in Japan. Japan uses a variety of transportation cards, mainly Suica, for their train and bus systems. Androids not bought in Japan cannot use digital versions, but iPhones bought anywhere can. If you have a no transaction fee card that will add money to the digital Suica, you basically have a much easier time getting around the country. The SE is also the best option as its the smallest phone, so with the right case and passport wallet, you can just carry it around in front of your passport in the pocket without having it slip out and setup to where you just tap the iPhone, or in this case your passport wallet, onto the NFC reader, no powering the screen on needed
iPhones cost more to produce than what WalMart is selling them for, they’re losing money on every sale, but they make it back once you pay for Total Wireless! Pretty crazy stuff.
as an italian guy, seeing those prices for monthly mobile plans is shocking.. Here you can have like unlimited calls and 200+ gb of mobile data for 8 bucks a month or less...
Not to mention that the 11 also has AT LEAST another 2-3 years of software support and an additional year or two of security updates. Great cameras that hold up in today's world. The SE - having the A15 chip that was reused TWICE in a row, would also likely get 4 or 5 years of support.
Thanks for your video, love it, my first iPhone was a 6 and I paid $49.00 brand new with Cricket wireless, it was 3 years old at the time and it served my purpose, now I have the 12 and it was $100 bucks, I don't need to spend a lot of money to get a dated but still capable phone with a great camera. Again, thanks for the info.
@@blankmandastankman Apple had/has the longest average support life for their phones out of any smartphone manufacturer. The next major release will support back to the XR giving that device at least seven years of software support.
I bought an iPhone XS (2018 flagship) from Wal-Mart in early 2021 for $100 just for the hell of it. Happy to report that it still lives on as my secondary phone to this day, although I know Apple is dropping support for it this year.
I work for Walmart electronics and help with in store activation and any service under the tracfone umbrella (tracfone, straight talk, total by Verizon, Walmart family mobile, and simple mobile) is subject to a 60 day carrier lock period for both all android and apple phones. Also none of the iPhones are refurbished when you buy them at Walmart.
I have 3 phones from them iPhone 11 and two iPhone 12s they do get unlocked after 60 days automatically as long as you don't take the SIM card out.. customer service is horrible though but you won't really need customer service if you're just going to get a new number.
Does the phone have to have service all 60 days or can I buy one month service and it unlocks in 60 days ? I have a se 3 , had it since it first came out 2-3 yrs ago and I’d like to replace it .
No it's not, and you don't have to buy brand new, you could say that about any car also even though they depreciate 40% of their value in the first 5 years depending on the company ofc. same with phones. But there are MANY people that do buy brand new.
The phone I'm rocking right now is a galaxy s21 FE. I bought it nearly 3 years ago now, and it was $500 brand new. The screen is OLED, it's UHD, I have face recognition and an in screen fingerprint reader that works great. It's 120fps, it has 5G, and is still a very capable phone 3 years later. An iPhone with almost none of those features for 450 bucks is insane.
I know people are gonna think I'm crazy, but I'd say jump on the SE 3. It's the latest one with the newest chip. Meanwhile, Apple is about to end support on the iPhone 11. So in the long run, the SE will be the better value for longevity and support. May not look sexy and appealing, but it gets the job done.
@@IramCoercere SE’s generally get 4-5 years of updates, so the SE is still the better value. But if you want better cameras, the 11 is certainly better.
@@Joshtheweathermannot 4 to 5. there's only one se that isn't supported and the early 2016 iphone se first gen lasted from 2016 to 2021 having support to ios 15 same as the 6s, it lasted 5 and a half years.
The 10 and 11 battery’s were built different though. My 10 r had 1,200 battery cycles with 80% battery health. The SE 3 has better performance overall but the 11 is no slouch it is hard to pick between the two since they both have their positives and negatives, especially with that $50 difference. I’m terms of battery the 11 is better, but performance the SE 3 is better.
I found that to be pretty crazy too. It’s been sitting in its box new for 5 years! Somebody should buy one of these and then collect it, they’re still unopened!
My country still have stocks of brand new iPhone 11 (early 2020, box is thin without a power adapter), and even an iPhone 8 (no 8 Plus sold out last December).
Apple used to make the XR until late 2023, stock in switzerland is completely gone there are many new white and black iphones 11 and 12, apple still make them, they just sell them at retailers only
I sold my 14 and bought a se3 from Walmart for $149. It was unlocked after 30 days of service ($45) . It has not lagged or Reset itself even ONCE . My 12pro max, 13 & 14 all had a lag or restart issue . They were all purchased brand new as well. SE3 is by far more reliable
got 2 of these for $100 each awhile back with 1 month service, but you dont have to buy another month, you just gotta wait 61 days and itll be fully unlocked. also nice video!
Back to confirm one is unlocked so far. I did pay for 2 months but waited a few days between so I would be past 61 with service. Will come back in a few days to update about the second phone.
7:00 it's not because of the chip size why it downloaded any slower, it would be either the wifi antenna/technology not being as up to date or just because the other device got prioritized on your wifi connection, or because of storage speeds bottlenecking how quick the data can be written to the internal storage
I have the total wireless i phone 13 from Walmart and i use my safelink free phone service on it with unlimited talk text and 10gb 5g data so it was a good buy for me no doubt. I got mine brand new for $449
You can usually activate the phones with the included SIM card on any of the total subsidiaries, so I always do the cheapest page plus plan over their customer support phone and have it unlocked in 60 days
I bought the iPhone 11 In 2022 for $199 for Walmart mobile. It's stayed the same price for two years, it's not a good deal right now. Even at $149. Go and get the iPhone12 with the OLED unlocked, the LCD is alright and the 11 only has 4g no 5g.
I replaced my battery in my very old iPhone. I bought a good quality battery on eBay and followed an iPhone battery replacement video for my model iPhone on TH-cam. Battery cost was about $22.00. That was maybe a year and a half ago and my phone is working perfectly. Not hard to do and saved me lots of money. I'm with Tracfone and hardly use my phone but it only costs me $20.00 for 3 months of service. Occasionally I'll pick up a Data card for $10.00 when I run out. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.
I bought my current iPhone 8 Plus from Walmart in July 2020 and combined with the Otterbox case that lasted me over 2 years before having to switch to different cases, the total cost combined of phone and case were $330 for me. I was fortunate to save a good amount of money at the time because I did work for Walmart so I had an employee discount then but the carrier I have is Straight Talk. I’ve had Straight Talk for 10 years alongside iPhones being the only types of smartphones I’ve ever owned.
Awesome video! The Call of Duty mobile game usually, from time to time, has a lengthy update. I use my ps4 and Xbox controller when playing mobile games while traveling. When indoors, I connect an HDMI to a 27" monitor to enjoy a wider view. Maybe you'll also like playing using a controller and connecting your phone to a monitor. You're likely to be more comfortable using a controller moving your soldier while shooting and engaging the enemy team.
Agreed. I just sold my Speedy 35 kislux (I did keep the brown one), my Sofia Coppola perforated LV clutch, my blue Damier clutch I bought in Japan, and the By the Pool vanilla clutch. Kept an orange epi Alma. It feels great!!
Also a thank you for showing good games from 2012-2015 for my Samsung tab 2 7.0! :D (it's from the galaxy S2 video, shadow fight 2 doesn't work on android 6 :( edit : i tryd a different version and it works! :0
You can use any Tracfone SIM card. I have Safelink and popped it in and it worked even though mine was locked to straight talk. It doesn’t matter what you use as long as it’s owned by Tracfone and it still unlocks after 60 days.
You should wait until black Friday they tend to bring down the price about to $49! Sometimes the older models go for $29 as I bought a se 2 for $29 a couple years ago. Great deal most of them unlock 60-99 days
So I had bought the SE when it was on sale for $150 & I just wanted a small phone to use on t-mobile but turns out that didn't work. So i used it as a trade in & got the iPhone 15 instead for free lol
@@ParanoiaGentlmanhe probably used the SE to trade it in for a iPhone 15. usually the big carriers (AT&T, Verizon & T-mobile) all have promotions where if you trade in a phone they will value it enough to where you can get the new iPhone (15 in this case) for significantly cheaper a month or for free)
Once the locked carrier has your data, IMSI & IMEI, those are permanently your ID on those phones. Even IF you change carriers those and your MAC addresses, WiFi, and they have everything they need to track you. Unless you never register the phone and use it as a glorified iPod, with no connectivity. Then the phone remains locked, but, no one is tracking you. That is the trade off. This is likely the reason they are so inexpensive. Or, it is one possibility. Thanks for the video.
Samsung Z Flips are super unreliable. They almost always have screen problems. I’ve been looking for a cheap phone/camera on eBay that can shoot 4K60 and I looked at the Z Flips and their resale is plummeting from thousands to just over $100 due to all their issues. It’s crazy. Makes me glad I didn’t get the Z Flip when it came out, I didn’t have to suffer! Lol.
@giovanigeorgis3848 lmao yeah it's quite nerve-wracking. But the gimmick/design is what got me. I love the fact It's longer and bigger than most phones while still having a smaller form factor than them. Altho the crease issue and how mine is cracked is scary I will agree.
No issues _yet_. Don't get me wrong, I have a Fold 4 and I like it despite the longevity concerns. But if you're buying a phone with a hinge, you can expect them to last 2-4 years typically. If your Flip 3 lasts another year then for $100 that's good value, but unfortunately older flips and folds are unreliable. Newer ones both have less wear and tear on them and also are built more durable (upcoming Fold 6 is finally rated for dust resistance, only at a level 4 but it's a step up from nothing) so if you can afford to get a new Fold/Flip and trade in every two years they're a pretty safe bet, but older ones are hard to trust. Flips especially, since prior to the Flip 5 they lacked a decent cover display. If a Fold 3 craps out on you, the traditional glass outer display will let you keep using your phone until you can get a new one, but the Flip's cover display isn't gonna do much more than show you the time. That said, a secondhand Flip 5 can be easily gotten for under $400, and a brand new Razr 2023 can be gotten for $450, so yeah, flips are getting cheap enough that it's feasible for a lot of people to get them.
@@sparky6757 I would upgrade to a newer or more reliable phone. but im 14 and currently have 0 dollars in my pocket 😂.... sooooo if this phone breaks I'm d.o.n.e fucked.
Did you have to pay the monthly charge for one month for that price. I buy device only but then pixels $150 @ walmart I just don't want to give personal info for phone
If on a budget and wanna give IPhones as Christmas gifts.... Buy one or several of these phone in September, Buy ONE plan with a SIM card and activate it. Use that SIM to activate each phone. On day 61 (after activation) the phones will be unlocked for any carrier. You DO-NOT have to do 2nd month.
How lol the SE’s home button is ancient, and the 11’s curved edges are not only ugly but also mean the phone is thicker than the new square edge iPhones, because they were able to fit more into a square.
The only thing better here is the vertical camera layout on the 11 which looks nicer than the diagonal. But with the upcoming iPhone 16 they’re going to make room to go back to the vertical cameras so 🤷♂️
@@schrodingers_gat It is not a downgrade because the SE was released a few years after the 11. It would be a downgrade if the 11 came after the SE and still had the A13 Bionic chipset. Besides that, the SE is not the successor of the 11 series so there was no downgrade. Again, see the timeline of the release of the devices.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials - brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one kislux Backpack Replica - also works for Compare - I can't find any difference and still use it for the gym
Lol my phone is literally a iPhone 11! And in my country it was very expensive but still being sold at various apple stores! I believe it was like 3000 something, the price. Worth it tho, I cherish my phone since I went on such a journey to get it
Had the 11 on straight talk for a year or two, service wasn't bad in my area but of course the lack of 5G was noticeable. Lasted me a while. Eventually sold it and purchased a 12 from them. Had it for a few months and then found out I'd get a better deal with Xfinity, so now I have a 15 pro max with Xfinity and my mom has the iPhone 12 from straight talk! Great phones for the price!
Yeah no crap, that’s a given. Not like expensive phones are a lot better though with some brands, Samsungs never get unlocked and nothing sold at Verizon does. No big deal for most people though, and it’s not like the cheap phones have any roms for them to make it worth unlocking, basically everything you can get cheap now is MTK.
@@qwertykeyboard5901 There’s a big difference between being rootable and actually hackable. I don’t consider being able to root your phone a real big modification, it’s pretty minor to be honest. MTK phones are considerably harder to port to, hardly anything with MTK has any roms at all, and they never work as well. Unless you’re prepared to write your own drivers, these devices are not able to be modded.
@PBJA89 The Samsungs you probably can bootloader unlock. But yeah, had an original Moto E that was locked to Tracfone. Now, that phone had (maybe still has) a fair bit of support on XDA, and I wanted to root it. Fun fact: No. Not eligible for bootloader unlocking. Be careful with prepaid android phones out there! (And wasps. I got stung by one less then five minutes ago. Do not recommend.)
I bought my SE Edition last November in Black Friday for only $50 and still using it, it’s amazing, literally even more than an average person need, I was buying pallets of electronics and stuff and reselling in marketplace and made more than $10k, managing everything from this $50 phone, very very recommended to buy this, it’s underpriced haha
Honestly I have a huge feeling there’s LOTS of unsold stock of these models. I heard they overestimated the SE and made more than sold. The iPhone 11 was just very popular to be honest so not shocked there’s plenty. I wish I’d grabbed one when they were $49.99 with a $30 plan. Also that’s the 5G model of SE (as you said) so for $150 it’s really good price.
Yes, there is lots of unsold stock and it usually goes to other countries outside of America. I know some countries still selling XR’s and 8 Plus’s brand new according to other users in these comments
I wouldn’t be surprised if they overestimated the SE 3. The SE 2 was a massive success as it had been 4 years since the last SE phone, and so students and small phone lovers RAN to get their hands on the SE 2. Apple thought the massive success of the SE 2 would reciprocate with the SE 3, but it just didn’t happen. Many people stuck with their SE 2, including me.
i keep seeing this, what tf are yall doing w 64gb on a phone. for a phone thats a decent amount unless u download llike 1000 apps or sum most of ur storage is photos anyways on phones? just curious
i mean 128 is right there as well that’s also a decent price also some people don’t use their phones as much. i’m not one of them but ik some people who don’t. or they simply don’t take much photos/videos
@@johnzoid74 The wonderful land of Finland. no such deals have popped up here unfortunately since i dont think we have carrier contract things like this here
iPhone SE’s are the best budget phone you can buy. Period. I used my Boost 2nd gen SE for 2 years and then traded it in to Verizon for a 15 Pro on release and only had to pay activation. I got so much return on that little $150 SE it’s insane.
Yea but its approachinf its end of support. Buying the 11 rn basically means gettin another single year of updates. But again, its not like the phone breaks the moment it stops getting updates.
the iPhone se colour you have is called Midnight! It is also used in the apple watch, MacBook air (M2/m3), iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and Homepod Mini
I just upgraded Today from an Iphone 11 that I bought through Total Wireless. I've used it for over 2 years and it's still in perfect condition. I will be selling it.
You guys are lucky to have walmart in your country I've never touched an iPhone in my whole entire life 😂 I really love your videos and I enjoy watching you ❤❤❤
You're not missing out. I don't hate Apple or anything, but having tried both Apple and Samsung, neither of them is obviously better than the other. Personally I like Samsung better.
You're not missing out, iphone is just an overpriced glamorized smart phone that keeps getting re-released every year with little innovation every time 😅
@Y2k90s Alright that's not exactly fair, every phone on the market with similar specs costs a similar amount and every brand only has a small number of changes year over year. iPhones are a bit more expensive due to the fact they never go on sale, but if you're paying MSRP Apple's prices are normal. Again, I like Samsung better, and I do pay a little less for my tech because I wait for deals. But it's a difference of a few bucks a month.
I work for Cricket Wireless and with new lines we offer the iPhone 11 for $200 when you pour over from another company you get the iPhone 11 for $99 and iPhone 12 for $300 with new lines and $200 for port-overs
I wish I could buy a brand new Iphone for so cheap here in Europe! Locked or not it doesn't matter to me! Unfortunately Iphones are insanely overpriced in Europe!
As an italian, yea. You are much better off getting some cheap motorola phone here, because they are pretty much the only cheap phones that dont totally suck (some redmis too) a motorola g30 for example is 150€ but has an OLED 144hz screen, decent battery, a good chip, and is still updated to the latest android version.
I bought an iPhone SE gen 3 at Walmart and there's only one thing you should know, this iPhone can only use 1 provider card so you can't use cards or SIM cards from other providers, but so far this is very good, you won't be disappointed paying for $149
I got one of the SE's last year before i went to Japan for a semester. The digital card I needed for public transport wouldnt work on a US Android phone but would on an iPhone. It was a perfect solution and completely replaced my Pixel while I was abroad... except the GPS was horrible for walking in Tokyo. Had to walk full minutes before it would realize i was going the wrong direction. Otherwise, it's really cool. (In Japan, its common to use a "pocket wifi" service instead of a phone plan, so the lock was not a problem at all there. In the US, we have "mobile hotspot" as a similar option, but those run through a typical mobile provider).
Is that an OPPO phone to the right on the table? 😊 Any kid would. Love to have an those iphones. Chewed thumbs skin. We have students still using IPhone 8. Happy 4th! 😊Your channel is cool!
My brother and sister both got their iPhone 13s through straight talk if anyone is wondering yes you can get all the colored options for the iphones including rose gold.
All TracFone's that are sold now use the Verizon network. Verizon network Tracfone's all have a sixty day unlock policy. So yeah WFM, TF, ST, Total Wireless, Simple Mobile etc... All are sixty days now.
4 yrs ago, i switched from Boost mobile to at&t. Im a Samsung lady. i dont like apple made it clear to the sell rep 3 hr try to sell me a apple phone. i said, "Do u have a Samsung? Aw, let me see, i have 1. i will take it. The sales rep was like the apple phone is FREE the Samsung is $1300, okay, i will take the Samsung. They get commission on selling apple phone. I dont like apple. i have had a Samsung since Samsung started cellphone. Samsung 4life
I literally just bought the same iPhone 11 from Walmart yesterday and I love it. I just switched from Android to iPhone and it's much better. Even though I used to have a cheap 32 GB Motorola. Bro whoever made 32 GB phones needs to be arrested. But I was instantly able to activate it on my Straight Talk plan and I love it so much.
In my experience, there is no catch. You buy the phone outright and after 60 days it's automatically unlocked. Basically, you get a new iPhone for much less. I have heard Straight Talk and other TracFone brands sell refurbished phones as new. But with the ones I've gotten like the SE 3 and iPhone 11 I never had any issues with it.

Interesting how the 11 came in the thinner box, I remember it being the last iPhone that had the thick box that actually included a power adapter and EarPods.
apple sold the 11 up until 2021 so any model produced after 2020 have the thin box
the 11 had a soft re-release in 2021 or 2022 with only 64 and 128gb storage, basic black and white color and thinboxes.
When iPhone 12 was released, Apple is still selling the 11 and that’s when they started selling the 11 with thin boxes.

I actually work for Verizon prepaid sector inside Walmart and most of our phone sales are these phones. I've never once had any issues with these getting returned or having to set them up as I do in store set up also. I highly recommend people getting these phones even if it's just for the month.
Do you know whether its possible to keep an existing phone number from a different carrier? Thanks
@@williamli4422 yes we would just need a port pin account number and address the number is associated with
@@williamli4422 Yes its called a port. You need to acct number security pin and sometimes Number Transfer Pin. These all come from the old carrier
You need your account number, and a Number Transfer Pin from your current carrier. The phone number HAS to be active as well. Some carriers are easier than others, but yes, you should from any carrier. @williamli4422
I work at Walmart’s electronics department. The reasons for the cheap prices is the other carrier listed there “Straight Talk” Walmart biggest prepaid provider. These phones can be had for even less at times with special promotion running for a couple of weeks. For the SE we’ve seen $99 with a new line and in store activation. During a Black Friday event the same SE was completely free with the same new line and in store activation. It can be tricky to get these promotions as a third party vendor that works inside of Walmart selling post paid phones “Premium Wireless” are the ones primarily responsible for doing the promotion but most of them are not willing to do it for the customers as they don’t make as big of a cut from it as compared to selling their required post paid phone for per day.
See my store is small enough that we don't have any of the 3rd party folks here so we have to do the warp orders for those promos. Now we also don't do any postpaid stuff only prepaid and we only do warp orders if there's a promo on that specific phone.
Will they work outside the country?
iPhone works everywhere
Im an electronics associate at walmart and I must say you got a pretty good deal on these iphones. Cricket, boost, and AT&T versions of these are more expensive. Prices vary between different prepaid carriers. Unfortunately my store does not carry total by version because our area doesn't meet the coverage requirements to sell verizon and their subsidaries. I used an iphone 11 for a few years. Still a good iPhone from my own personal experience. Wal-mart now sells the iPhone 12 as a prepaid option. Soon enough the iPhone 16 or iPhone 15's successor may be when the iPhone 13 will become a prepaid option.
Nah Boost Mobile is 99$ with an ID for the iPhone 11. I literally just bought one two days ago and I’m typing on it right now.
@@kidjiujitsu I assume you got your phone activated in store. I was specificially stating that it costs more to get the phone without an in-store activation.
The SE 3rd Gen I got during the promo in January (missed the Black Friday one) was a GODSEND for my trip in Japan. Japan uses a variety of transportation cards, mainly Suica, for their train and bus systems. Androids not bought in Japan cannot use digital versions, but iPhones bought anywhere can. If you have a no transaction fee card that will add money to the digital Suica, you basically have a much easier time getting around the country. The SE is also the best option as its the smallest phone, so with the right case and passport wallet, you can just carry it around in front of your passport in the pocket without having it slip out and setup to where you just tap the iPhone, or in this case your passport wallet, onto the NFC reader, no powering the screen on needed
thanks for the advice. I will be going to Japan in October for a month for work. Nobody has mentioned this.

Not to mention that the 11 also has AT LEAST another 2-3 years of software support and an additional year or two of security updates. Great cameras that hold up in today's world.
The SE - having the A15 chip that was reused TWICE in a row, would also likely get 4 or 5 years of support.

Sadly Apple knows this and stops supporting older phones so the software can’t be updated and kept current. Which forces you to update the hardware
@@blankmandastankmanapple has pretty ling update support
@@blankmandastankmanthat isn't why they do that
@@blankmandastankman Apple had/has the longest average support life for their phones out of any smartphone manufacturer. The next major release will support back to the XR giving that device at least seven years of software support.
I bought an iPhone XS (2018 flagship) from Wal-Mart in early 2021 for $100 just for the hell of it. Happy to report that it still lives on as my secondary phone to this day, although I know Apple is dropping support for it this year.
actually no, ios 18 dev beta released and even the XS is still supported.
I run iOS 18 on my iPhone XS 256gb
I work for Walmart electronics and help with in store activation and any service under the tracfone umbrella (tracfone, straight talk, total by Verizon, Walmart family mobile, and simple mobile) is subject to a 60 day carrier lock period for both all android and apple phones. Also none of the iPhones are refurbished when you buy them at Walmart.
The fact that unlocked iPhones are becoming mostly affordable now is awesome...
I have 3 phones from them iPhone 11 and two iPhone 12s they do get unlocked after 60 days automatically as long as you don't take the SIM card out.. customer service is horrible though but you won't really need customer service if you're just going to get a new number.
this is good to know. I was reading that putting a different carrier sim also violates terms of service and will result in no unlock as well.
Does the phone have to have service all 60 days or can I buy one month service and it unlocks in 60 days ? I have a se 3 , had it since it first came out 2-3 yrs ago and I’d like to replace it .
Good question. Response anyone?
0:51 selling the SE for $429 is robbery
No it's not, and you don't have to buy brand new, you could say that about any car also even though they depreciate 40% of their value in the first 5 years depending on the company ofc. same with phones. But there are MANY people that do buy brand new.
the SE 3 at its base 449 price point is ridiculous, but for 149? amazing
amazing? hot garbage 💩
429* but yes i agree either way
The phone I'm rocking right now is a galaxy s21 FE. I bought it nearly 3 years ago now, and it was $500 brand new. The screen is OLED, it's UHD, I have face recognition and an in screen fingerprint reader that works great. It's 120fps, it has 5G, and is still a very capable phone 3 years later. An iPhone with almost none of those features for 450 bucks is insane.
@@CadgerChristmasLightShow ...hence why i said for almost 500$ it's ridiculous, for 150$ its amazing.
It used to be $99 last year. That includes the plan as well. I think it was $49 phone + $50 plan
I know people are gonna think I'm crazy, but I'd say jump on the SE 3. It's the latest one with the newest chip. Meanwhile, Apple is about to end support on the iPhone 11. So in the long run, the SE will be the better value for longevity and support. May not look sexy and appealing, but it gets the job done.
Iphone xr and newer will get at least one year of updates
@@IramCoercere SE’s generally get 4-5 years of updates, so the SE is still the better value. But if you want better cameras, the 11 is certainly better.
@@Joshtheweathermannot 4 to 5. there's only one se that isn't supported and the early 2016 iphone se first gen lasted from 2016 to 2021 having support to ios 15 same as the 6s, it lasted 5 and a half years.
The 10 and 11 battery’s were built different though. My 10 r had 1,200 battery cycles with 80% battery health. The SE 3 has better performance overall but the 11 is no slouch it is hard to pick between the two since they both have their positives and negatives, especially with that $50 difference. I’m terms of battery the 11 is better, but performance the SE 3 is better.
My father in law is still using his iphone 8… I just upgraded my wife to a 12 mini in 2022 from her iphone 6 that was still working just fine.

I find it interesting that you can still get the iPhone 11 from 2019, brand new. Can’t say that about its contemporary rival, the Galaxy S10e, though.
I found that to be pretty crazy too. It’s been sitting in its box new for 5 years! Somebody should buy one of these and then collect it, they’re still unopened!
Interesting to note that while brand new iPhone 11s still seem to exist Apple doesn’t sell them 🤔
Apple did officially sell the iPhone 11 till 2021 as that explains the no charger box
My country still have stocks of brand new iPhone 11 (early 2020, box is thin without a power adapter), and even an iPhone 8 (no 8 Plus sold out last December).
Apple used to make the XR until late 2023, stock in switzerland is completely gone

got 2 of these for $100 each awhile back with 1 month service, but you dont have to buy another month, you just gotta wait 61 days and itll be fully unlocked. also nice video!
Are you sure about the remaining 61 days?
I just purchased two for upgrades, did you just wait the 2 months to use it?
Back to confirm one is unlocked so far. I did pay for 2 months but waited a few days between so I would be past 61 with service. Will come back in a few days to update about the second phone.
7:00 it's not because of the chip size why it downloaded any slower, it would be either the wifi antenna/technology not being as up to date or just because the other device got prioritized on your wifi connection, or because of storage speeds bottlenecking how quick the data can be written to the internal storage
I have the total wireless i phone 13 from Walmart and i use my safelink free phone service on it with unlimited talk text and 10gb 5g data so it was a good buy for me no doubt. I got mine brand new for $449
You can usually activate the phones with the included SIM card on any of the total subsidiaries, so I always do the cheapest page plus plan over their customer support phone and have it unlocked in 60 days
I bought the iPhone 11 In 2022 for $199 for Walmart mobile.
It's stayed the same price for two years, it's not a good deal right now. Even at $149.

My niece got the same iphone 11 from Walmart a few years ago. It was $250 through Straight talk. That's still a pretty good deal.
I was considering having the battery replaced in my older iPhone but just getting a new phone seems worth it lol
I replaced my battery in my very old iPhone. I bought a good quality battery on eBay and followed an iPhone battery replacement video for my model iPhone on TH-cam. Battery cost was about $22.00. That was maybe a year and a half ago and my phone is working perfectly. Not hard to do and saved me lots of money. I'm with Tracfone and hardly use my phone but it only costs me $20.00 for 3 months of service. Occasionally I'll pick up a Data card for $10.00 when I run out. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.
I bought my current iPhone 8 Plus from Walmart in July 2020 and combined with the Otterbox case that lasted me over 2 years before having to switch to different cases, the total cost combined of phone and case were $330 for me. I was fortunate to save a good amount of money at the time because I did work for Walmart so I had an employee discount then but the carrier I have is Straight Talk. I’ve had Straight Talk for 10 years alongside iPhones being the only types of smartphones I’ve ever owned.

It's roughly 60-90 days til straight talk unlocks them while using their service I had the 11 I liked it never had total wireless tho
New law was passed on that matter that made it 60 days whatever the carrier and even if you didn't payout your phone yet.
You can use any Tracfone SIM card. I have Safelink and popped it in and it worked even though mine was locked to straight talk. It doesn’t matter what you use as long as it’s owned by Tracfone and it still unlocks after 60 days.
You should wait until black Friday they tend to bring down the price about to $49! Sometimes the older models go for $29 as I bought a se 2 for $29 a couple years ago. Great deal most of them unlock 60-99 days

That’s insane! This is the best way to get an iPhone 15 at an extreme discount 😂
lmao can i get the details ?? 😅😅
@@ParanoiaGentlmanhe probably used the SE to trade it in for a iPhone 15. usually the big carriers (AT&T, Verizon & T-mobile) all have promotions where if you trade in a phone they will value it enough to where you can get the new iPhone (15 in this case) for significantly cheaper a month or for free)
Once the locked carrier has your data, IMSI & IMEI, those are permanently your ID on those phones. Even IF you change carriers those and your MAC addresses, WiFi, and they have everything they need to track you. Unless you never register the phone and use it as a glorified iPod, with no connectivity. Then the phone remains locked, but, no one is tracking you. That is the trade off. This is likely the reason they are so inexpensive. Or, it is one possibility. Thanks for the video.
I got a z flip 3 on ebay for 104$. And nothings wrong with it. Its crazy how much phones go down within 2 years
Samsung Z Flips are super unreliable. They almost always have screen problems. I’ve been looking for a cheap phone/camera on eBay that can shoot 4K60 and I looked at the Z Flips and their resale is plummeting from thousands to just over $100 due to all their issues. It’s crazy. Makes me glad I didn’t get the Z Flip when it came out, I didn’t have to suffer! Lol.
@giovanigeorgis3848 lmao yeah it's quite nerve-wracking. But the gimmick/design is what got me. I love the fact It's longer and bigger than most phones while still having a smaller form factor than them. Altho the crease issue and how mine is cracked is scary I will agree.
No issues _yet_.
Don't get me wrong, I have a Fold 4 and I like it despite the longevity concerns. But if you're buying a phone with a hinge, you can expect them to last 2-4 years typically. If your Flip 3 lasts another year then for $100 that's good value, but unfortunately older flips and folds are unreliable.
Newer ones both have less wear and tear on them and also are built more durable (upcoming Fold 6 is finally rated for dust resistance, only at a level 4 but it's a step up from nothing) so if you can afford to get a new Fold/Flip and trade in every two years they're a pretty safe bet, but older ones are hard to trust. Flips especially, since prior to the Flip 5 they lacked a decent cover display. If a Fold 3 craps out on you, the traditional glass outer display will let you keep using your phone until you can get a new one, but the Flip's cover display isn't gonna do much more than show you the time.
That said, a secondhand Flip 5 can be easily gotten for under $400, and a brand new Razr 2023 can be gotten for $450, so yeah, flips are getting cheap enough that it's feasible for a lot of people to get them.

These 2 iPhone designs are better than the new ones imo
How lol the SE’s home button is ancient, and the 11’s curved edges are not only ugly but also mean the phone is thicker than the new square edge iPhones, because they were able to fit more into a square.

Yeah no crap, that’s a given. Not like expensive phones are a lot better though with some brands, Samsungs never get unlocked and nothing sold at Verizon does. No big deal for most people though, and it’s not like the cheap phones have any roms for them to make it worth unlocking, basically everything you can get cheap now is MTK.

Hey bro you should review more underated phones like Nokias, BlackBerry, Sony Xperia, etc
You can check to see if it's a refurbish by the settings.
Honestly I have a huge feeling there’s LOTS of unsold stock of these models. I heard they overestimated the SE and made more than sold. The iPhone 11 was just very popular to be honest so not shocked there’s plenty. I wish I’d grabbed one when they were $49.99 with a $30 plan. Also that’s the 5G model of SE (as you said) so for $150 it’s really good price.
Yes, there is lots of unsold stock and it usually goes to other countries outside of America. I know some countries still selling XR’s and 8 Plus’s brand new according to other users in these comments
I wouldn’t be surprised if they overestimated the SE 3. The SE 2 was a massive success as it had been 4 years since the last SE phone, and so students and small phone lovers RAN to get their hands on the SE 2. Apple thought the massive success of the SE 2 would reciprocate with the SE 3, but it just didn’t happen. Many people stuck with their SE 2, including me.
Got the first SE in 2016 and used it for 6 years. Been rocking the SE 2 the last 2 years.

Yea but its approachinf its end of support. Buying the 11 rn basically means gettin another single year of updates. But again, its not like the phone breaks the moment it stops getting updates.
the iPhone se colour you have is called Midnight! It is also used in the apple watch, MacBook air (M2/m3), iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and Homepod Mini

I just upgraded Today from an Iphone 11 that I bought through Total Wireless. I've used it for over 2 years and it's still in perfect condition. I will be selling it.
You guys are lucky to have walmart in your country
I've never touched an iPhone in my whole entire life 😂
I really love your videos and I enjoy watching you ❤❤❤
You're not missing out. I don't hate Apple or anything, but having tried both Apple and Samsung, neither of them is obviously better than the other. Personally I like Samsung better.
You're not missing out, iphone is just an overpriced glamorized smart phone that keeps getting re-released every year with little innovation every time 😅
@Y2k90s Alright that's not exactly fair, every phone on the market with similar specs costs a similar amount and every brand only has a small number of changes year over year. iPhones are a bit more expensive due to the fact they never go on sale, but if you're paying MSRP Apple's prices are normal.
Again, I like Samsung better, and I do pay a little less for my tech because I wait for deals. But it's a difference of a few bucks a month.
I work for Cricket Wireless and with new lines we offer the iPhone 11 for $200 when you pour over from another company you get the iPhone 11 for $99 and iPhone 12 for $300 with new lines and $200 for port-overs
I wish I could buy a brand new Iphone for so cheap here in Europe!
Locked or not it doesn't matter to me!
Unfortunately Iphones are insanely overpriced in Europe!
As an italian, yea. You are much better off getting some cheap motorola phone here, because they are pretty much the only cheap phones that dont totally suck (some redmis too) a motorola g30 for example is 150€ but has an OLED 144hz screen, decent battery, a good chip, and is still updated to the latest android version.
I bought an iPhone SE gen 3 at Walmart and there's only one thing you should know, this iPhone can only use 1 provider card so you can't use cards or SIM cards from other providers, but so far this is very good, you won't be disappointed paying for $149
6:18 why are you using your non thumbs huh ??..
I got one of the SE's last year before i went to Japan for a semester. The digital card I needed for public transport wouldnt work on a US Android phone but would on an iPhone. It was a perfect solution and completely replaced my Pixel while I was abroad... except the GPS was horrible for walking in Tokyo. Had to walk full minutes before it would realize i was going the wrong direction. Otherwise, it's really cool. (In Japan, its common to use a "pocket wifi" service instead of a phone plan, so the lock was not a problem at all there. In the US, we have "mobile hotspot" as a similar option, but those run through a typical mobile provider).

We’ve had them for a long time lol
@@alexcuevas5633 yes i know but you miss the joke
The old iPhones have been cheap in Walmart for a long time. I remember getting an iPhone 6 for like $150 back in the day at Walmart.
@@keshmo12 you miss the joke

All TracFone's that are sold now use the Verizon network. Verizon network Tracfone's all have a sixty day unlock policy. So yeah WFM, TF, ST, Total Wireless, Simple Mobile etc... All are sixty days now.
4 yrs ago, i switched from Boost mobile to at&t. Im a Samsung lady. i dont like apple made it clear to the sell rep 3 hr try to sell me a apple phone. i said, "Do u have a Samsung? Aw, let me see, i have 1. i will take it. The sales rep was like the apple phone is FREE the Samsung is $1300, okay, i will take the Samsung. They get commission on selling apple phone. I dont like apple. i have had a Samsung since Samsung started cellphone. Samsung 4life
The iPhone 12 is 249.00 now at Walmart with the same total/straight talk plan

I literally just bought the same iPhone 11 from Walmart yesterday and I love it. I just switched from Android to iPhone and it's much better. Even though I used to have a cheap 32 GB Motorola. Bro whoever made 32 GB phones needs to be arrested. But I was instantly able to activate it on my Straight Talk plan and I love it so much.
you doxed yourself at 3:51
all good
In my experience, there is no catch. You buy the phone outright and after 60 days it's automatically unlocked. Basically, you get a new iPhone for much less. I have heard Straight Talk and other TracFone brands sell refurbished phones as new. But with the ones I've gotten like the SE 3 and iPhone 11 I never had any issues with it.
All that blurring is so unnecessary just don’t post the video
yeah? some dingus tried activating one of the phones because I failed to properly blur. but uh- thanks for your oblivion, kitty… bab-…
