It's cheaper than any competing 5G iPhone options and, unlike the prepaid ATT devices which require 6 months of service to unlock, Metro is known to only require a month of service for those who want the unlock. You still have to wait the 6 months, but you don't have to pay for them.
It's new hardware. It's cheap (they sell used for more). And unlocking just requires patience.
One thing about the activation fee, which was waived in late Feb and may be back, or insisted on by the smarmy dealers, I have read and not confirmed that if you ask for esim activation without sim card (Psim) they cannot charge that $20 fee. My guess is that they would say "esim is not an option", but again I don't have a data point here.
The thread about the iPhone 11 has over 1600 posts and I know you won't read it but there are plenty of horror stories about the authorized dealers.
This is my brief attempt to get you ready for some grief! Be prepared!

They're not going to tell you anyway
They said Iphone 11 is out of stock and asked to select another phone.
Plan to get SE 3, but They added activation fee+ insurance fee+ tax on full price. Also ask you to buy other high price accessories like plug, case, cable....
I had negative experience with Metro as they work like bait and switch.
