Can I buy this, activate it and move the sim to an unlocked iPhone, and have the S26 unlock after 60 days?
Yes did it with my pixel 10 pro from the last deal after60 days. It didn't auto unlock though I went through support

Last year I unlocked my Pixel 10 Pro XL permanently in 2 days after activation by calling customer service and asked for emergency unlock for traveling overseas.

Yup, make sure delete your shipping and billing address from the existing account.

$50 per month plan, yikes.
you are paying $580 for a phone and 1yr of unlimited service. That retails for $180 or $15/mo - not sure where you are seeing the $50? Or are you talking about the financing by Affirm? That's if you don't have $580 on your card to be able to pay it, and want to pay installments. Not exactly the same thing as the plan. They literally take the $580 and divide by 12.

Unfortunately no. Not until it's unlocked.

Can confirm. The customer service agents of Mint are quite amenable. They agreed to unlock my device so that my wife can use it after one week of activation.
