If you are in market for the iphone 15 pro and can't wait, this is a fabulous deal for unlocked and not dealing with complicated carrier upgrades.
So need a good unlocked phone deal.

My wife uses Tmobile prepaid for $15 monthly unlimited text call and 2gb data so I got her iPhone SE 3rd gen on Verizon and bought their one month service and phone automatically unlocked after 60 days.
Samsung on the other hand offers better pricing overall versus storage/camera/etc, but has lower resale value and is terribly slow for security updates. Like, Samsung gets an F here for failing hard. Samsung also used to be the absolute worst for long-term software support, but recently increased their update policy to 4 years of major Android OS updates (which isn't great, but better than it used to be). That still sucks versus Apple and Google, but is better than nearly all the other lower-cost Android options like Motorola or OnePlus.
Google offers excellent phones for the price, but the reason for that "discount" is that YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. All the information they collection from you via Android (which applies to Samsung et al as well) subsidizes their business model.
Bottom line: I've used all 3 brands across multiple phones including some great past Android phones like Motorola, HTC way back when, LG, etc. If you can afford to spend $1000 on a phone every 2-4 years, definitely weigh the trade offs with each ecosystem. As a current Apple user I hate the walled garden, but when you add in the watches, tablets, laptops, I like most of it better than being run over roughshod by Google targeting (never giving up my PC though).
