As far as if they unlock is automatic, I'm still in my first 60 days and on an Android device, so I can't say if they unlock will be automatic on an iPhone or not and I don't want to give you incorrect information. I've spent a lot of time in Straight Talk threads the last few months and generally what I've heard is that Android phones unlock automatically on or around the 60 day mark. I have seen iPhone users mention they had to contact Straight Talk for an unlock, but I'm not sure if those were isolated cases. Perhaps someone with iPhone/Straight Talk experience could speak on that specific issue?
Once unlocked, the phone should work on any carrier (in the US, at least). HTH!
This however might work for someone who would want to use the phone elsewhere after 60 days instead of waiting for 365 days past activation.

If you're on the silver plan or higher, you can add a second line and get $15 off service on the second line (so silver would only be $30).

had a chat with Straight Talk agent to unlock iphone and below he what said-
I have checked our system's requirements. Our devices are programmed to automatically unlock 60 days after activation. Once that period has passed, the 'SIM Restricted' message will disappear, allowing you to add any international eSIM of your choice.

At $299, if you really need this phone then it is alright.

Looks like Walmart is also selling this phone for the same price of $299:

Worth trying to buy via Walmart and use the $25 unlimited plan to activate. YMMV
