In the old days I bought Total Wireless deals and used with my Tracfone SIM card with no problems because they map to same carrier code. Does anyone know if this activates on Tracfone? [EDIT nevermind, I see that OP confirms it does activate on TracFone. That is pretty tempting because you can use it with any of the TF plans. They do now have a monthly unlimited minutes (limited data) plan, as well as the old low-usage plans which were great for a seldom-used or backup phone.]
[EDIT] As I assumed, these are no longer available from Apple. They discontinued most older models to promote the 11 series last year. Though they still had stock and sold some as "refurb" though they were probably new. Their refurb page has entries for 8 and 8 Plus but are greyed-out. However the XR is available but at $629 for the 256GB. That's still a hefty price because that model had a big price increase for the 256.
There is no doubt that if you want to get into an iPhone series on a budget, this is a pretty good deal. It should be good for at least 2-3 more years before it will eventually be "obsoleted" (i.e. no longer able to get iOS updates and may not run new apps). And it will always have some trade-in value though perhaps not very much.

There is an "Apple Event" next week Sept 15th, but rumors indicate it's likely a Watch (and maybe iPad) event, not a phone event. Most expect the next iPhone won't come out till next year, delayed partly due to covid and also slow roll-out of 5G in USA (most expect next iPhone will support 5G, but most carriers don't have equipment in place in most parts of the country yet.) Also not as many people ready to shell out $1K for a new phone when they have a 2-year-old one that does pretty everything they need.
