Phone unlocking in one year is a deal-breaker.

Will we ever need to login to metro account later if we bought it only for tradein/unlocked(after a year)? asking because it looks like the text verification to login to metro account is tied to the phone number we just ported in and noway to disable verification or change it to a different number. Thanks in advance.
No don't need to login again.

You didn't get the email?

Ready. Set. Activate!

I hit that button in the email and activated all my phone's the minute they shipped.
Yes, I got the email but clicking that link just gives a login page. Does that mean its already activated without even loggin in?

I don't recall having to login with my main account phone number. There's an order lookup page that allows you in with the order number, zip code, and last name.

Only adding MagSafe functionality for use with accessories, not wireless charging, right?

These phones can ONLY be unlocked after one year. Are people getting these for trade ins? Most places I've seen do NOT allow for trade in for the "e" series phones. Does anyone know if Apple store will allow iphone 16e trade in for a iphone 17e? Thanks.

Unfortunately if you go to iPhone 16e and then click on "full terms" of offer you get : "You can get this deal on up to 2 lines."
So for a third phone try the iPhone 13 or an android phone.
