This Cricket iPhone 16e promo is mainly attractive for people who need a working iPhone now and can use Cricket for six months before unlocking. The phone is not unlocked after three months, since the required path is three paid months first, then three more months before unlock. The deal also carries about $180 in mandatory service, so the real cost is higher than the headline suggests. Compared with Metro, the shorter unlock window is the main advantage, but the overall value depends on whether Cricket service and the 128GB model fit your needs.

Any chance this deal gets better after 6/7 when it ends or should one go for it now.

It can or may it will not be a better deal after 6/7. I know around July 4th there will be another promo for the phones, but I don't what they are. I was thinking about getting the Iphone 16e 128GB but then after I research there was problems with the modem and it keeps disconnecting so I choose to skip this version. I already have AT&T postpaid, but I will get a new number instead of transferring my number. If I get a new number from cricket, then I just pay $100 (for the Iphone 16e version) which is not bad for a brand-new apple Iphone.

I will wait for the Iphone 17e version which I hope around July 4th there will be on sale for the version 17e of the Iphone. The Iphone 17e has problems too but it can be easily resolved. The thing is I read that if you let the battery go to 0% then you can't turn it on unless you power with USB C cable or something like that. Easy solution don't let your battery get to 0%. Also the Iphone 16e only has 128GB while the Iphone17 has 256GB.

If there are any good deals for the Iphone 17e from Cricket I will make another post.
