16e is superior than 13 for sure, Action button, A18 chip vs A15 chip, 48 MP camera vs 12MP camera, 2x optical zoom, USB c charging, better battery, more RAM, crash detection, Find my via satellite. The only downside is no magsafe

And no sim tray...

I NEED ADVICE. I really want the Pixel 10 when in comes out in July-Sep. If anyone has experience with Iphone trade-ine with Google is there any way I can help subsidize that purchase by getting this deal now (and subsequently trading it in)? This would be getting this deal, using the 1 month (not any more), waiting 60 day unlocking and waiting to trade it in

You can go back to the Pixel 9 deal post from last year, it was pretty juicy

And the home button, and 3.5mm jack, and an OS that doesn't kill the battery

So no need to pay for any service, just wait 60 days after purchasing to unlock. What is the unlock process for straight talk?

This was my sale tax in California when I pre-order from ST website:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...drive_link [google.com]

These are my sale tax from Walmart website:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...drive_link [google.com]

In California the difference is almost $40, still a good deal but not as sweet as pre-order one.

Straight Talk is now charging sales tax. So congratulations to you and the others who pre-ordered and were lucky to not pay any sales tax at all

I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can drive into Canada to purchase a physical SIM iPhone if I wanted to. Issue is, it's going to be at full price. Do I bite the bullet and get the physical slot for $200+ more is the question...

Anyone else having problems cancelling ST order? Smilie

They usually don't cancel orders.
You can refuse UPS delivery but will only get credit for price of phone - they don't refund service plans.

It's auto unlock. Nothing you'll need to do.

That's great but what if we want both SIM tray *and* mmWave antenna?

The single 48mp camera on the 16e is better than the dual 12mp cameras on the 13. The 16e in every camera comparison I've seen takes better photos than a 13, It also has 10x digital zoom vs 5 on the 13. Unless you find yourself taking a lot of ultra wide photos, the 16e is a better phone in pretty much every possible way.

phonearean says not to upgrade from 13 to 16e: www.phonearena.com/reviews/iphone-16e-vs-iphone-13_id7020 [phonearena.com] For me, I need and want a sim card for ease of switching. If using the 16e in another country and you damage the phone, you will play hell trying to download an eSim to a different phone and that phone must be esim capable. A sim card makes it quick and easy to use in a different phone.

I'm not familiar with eSIM. If I only have the plan for one month and have the phone unlocked after the second month, how do I use a different number from another carrier? Thanks.
