      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    @kennethtorreskats 12 дней назад +16

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    ❤Happy fourth to you as well and I agree about the Walmart phones I brought mines from Straighttalk and I could have chosen to go with total wireless my phone boxing came the same way and I have the 15 plus I brought it online from Straighttalk even though I could have purchased it in Walmart just as you did but I prefer those too companies as well because my phone was easy to get unlocked because I brought it in full and I didn’t know total wireless would do it as well but only after days of activation but ya Walmart always has a lower budget on older iPhones especially from non contract carriers so thanks for the video btw my lil sis got her first iPhone from Walmart it came the same way it’s the iPhone SE 3 or 2 but I think my mom got it at a Lower price there

    Do they show unlocked straight out of the box before you put in a sim card?

      No, it takes two months but have to have service for at least one month.

    Did the 11 come on iOS 14 or 15? Or did it come on iOS 17? If it was on 17 that means somebody would’ve had to open it up and update it because Apple stopped making new iPhone 11’s on iOS 15
