Community Reviews

This iPhone 16e promo is mainly attractive as a low upfront way to get Apple hardware, especially for a kid or as a Wi Fi only device. The effective cost lands around $230 before tax once the required service is added, and the phone can be used without immediate service if unlocking is not the goal. The main catch is Boost locking, with the device tied to about 12 months of active paid service before unlock eligibility. Trade in value also looks limited, since the Apple Store will not take a 16e as a current model.

12 months paid service to unlock with Boost.
As I discovered recently, it's actually 1yr+1day. That way they make you re-up for another year to unlock your phone.

You can't- I tried. They said since I got the phone on a "deal" the only contract available to me was yearly.

Don't do it.

I am wondering if one wants to keep this 16e as an ipod, then just pay $99 promo price and $60 for first month svc?

Activate phone and turn off Auto-Pay on one's account.

Does one have to make any more payments if unlocking is not a concern?
