Would get this if it had a physical sim tray. It's lame for Apple to not include it in the US when they have to manufacture it anyway for other countries. I bet their sales # would be a lot higher if it has a sim tray.

Thumbed up. Supposedly it was because people would buy the iPhones with SIM card slots and sell them internationally. I hate e-sim

"Apple - Refurbished Excellent - iPhone 16e 128GB (Unlocked) - Black" sold by Best Buy is also available for $459.99. Trade in is accepted (for example $300 for Pixel 10 128 GB). Reviews state it is like new with near perfect battery condition.

apple 16e is only really worth 300 without contract if bought from nvmos its 150-200 currently so its really only worth 150 max.

and actually for value its worth 50-100 max to me.
I bought a new one for my friend's mom on Swappa for about $380 after taxes/shipping. I think it's locked to AT&T but that's fine. Big upgrade from her 13 mini in terms of battery life.

Who's giving you $930 for a 16e?
