I know I’d prefer a 15 Pro for under $800, especially for a 256GB model. Mine is in blue titanium (I revisited a discussion we had in the past about my 15 Pro eBay shopping for new ones). It only costed $790, which is about 600 quid (💷) new, unlocked, and a USA eSIM model. It’s a better seller than the 15PM one that seemed too good to be true. I’ve been enjoying it so far and got it as a late holiday gift during the two-month winter break in late January.Returned to 15 Pro but only because I got a 256GB version brand new from amazon (last one they had in uk stock sold from themselves sealed) for the same price and was within the return period. Nothing wrong with the 16e and I actually really liked it, but for the same money it was a no brainer.
How much did yours cost? Rarely in the USA, Amazon sells BNIB iPhones fully unlocked, but only watches and all Apple products besides that.
