So just to confirm,
I buy the iPhone SE from Walmart for $149 and then choose like T-Mobile for the iPhone SE trade in and ship it to them? The trade in value for the iPhone SE came out to $460

Does it need to be unlocked? open the box and ship them the phone?

Quote from Adamantium216 :
I don't think any Pixel so far has been locked. I could be wrong.
SIM unlocked is different than bootloader unlocked. Used to be the only way to get a bootloader unlocked pixel was to buy straight from Google. Carriers would lock the BL down so that you could never load other roms, even if you got the sim unlocked. Not sure if buying from BB is the same as buying through Google in this regard.

I bought the iphone from walmart, will be trading in (in person) at best buy. There was no option for straight talk so I picked Verizon. Hopefully no one cares. Thanks OP!
I would be careful. These are locked phones for Total or Mint or Straight Talk. I do not believe these qualify for trade in. I would want to definitely have that checked though

Quote from CrimsonRiver926 :
Guys be wary of you have T-Mobile. The best buy "unlocked" version does not include T-Mobile as a supported carrier. I believe the Google Store version of the unlocked pixel8/8pro DO support T-Mobile, but not as good of a deal as best buy with the trade-in
Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."

That said, I'm satisfied with my P7, not I hate the fingerprint reader. Missing the rear fingerprint scanner on P5... in screen one really sucks 😔
That's my only real gripe about the Pixel 7. It reads my left thumb almost every time. It reads my right thumb about half the time. No amount of calibration will fix it for more than a day. My Pixel 5 worked every time with any finger.

I'll wait for Black Friday to see if there is a better offer

you did get extra stuff in the mint mobile deal. you got 12 months of free service.
Sure but I already have service so I don't care about that. If you don't have a plan, go ahead and wait for something like that.

I read in-store trade-ins aren't a thing anymore, everything gets shipped out and assessed by the trade-in assessment company they use? Do they assess it in-store and give you the trade-in credit at purchase time? I'm not sure if they still do that.
In store trade-ins are very much a thing. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Best Buy charge tax on full MSRP or after-trade-in value? Thanks
No, Best buy will charge you everything up front but once you go to trade it in they will deduct the tax from the trade-in.

This is incorrect information. They are the same freaking phone. I have T-Mobile. I've had a pixel 7 through Best buy all year on T-Mobile.

I'll wait. Upgrading from a Pixel 7 isn't worth it.
The specs are almost identical. (But pixel 8 is thicker and has smaller screen for $100 more than last year)
Last year I was able to upgrade for free if you counted the best buy card as good as cash.
Judging by sentiment on the Internet already, Google is going to have a lot of extra pixels to move in a couple months.
Pixels are also tricky, because sometimes Google produces a completely lemon generation (phone overheats, screen problems etc). Better to wait a bit.

Exactly. That's what I'm doing with my pixel 7. I'm just going to sell it locally.
