Not to the people who’ve been trying to score one before they sell out. Luckily for them, it seems like there’s a decent amount of these this time.

For christ’s sake Apple, can you make some available in The UK already? Literally waiting here with cash.
I bought one for my son. I just want him to have a cheap phone for emergencies, but I want to stay with Apple rather than Android. I think this is the cheapest way to get an iPhone?
You're using the wrong link. This is the correct one:
https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MP8J2LL/A
You'll notice the model number all start with M which indicates new.
If we look at the overall sales data for iPhone, customers tend to choose older models because of price. The iPhone 6s outsells the iPhone 6s Plus. The gap is smaller for 7 vs. 7 Plus. The 8 and 8 Plus sell in equal volumes. For the latest phones, the trend is reversed. The XS Max outsells the XS by a significant margin.
There are certainly customers looking at the SE for the form factor. But from a carrier's perspective, selling the SE is tough if the 6s is the same price.
So many new models among refurbished. Why are they sitting in stock, and nobody is buying them? Turns out SE is not popular as few MacRumors members want us to believe.
Wish I had a crystal ball so I could see into the future; if this is Apple's last 4" device I'd definitely pick one up as a backup in case my current one up and dies on me.
But if there's a new 4" iPhone waiting in the wings, no sense in me spending the cash on this.

Are they going to go back and revise their "sales" numbers? Sure seems to be a lot of them leftover.
Was it new and unlocked?
That is a really great deal. Where did you get it?

This is incorrect, they are new according to their discription.
Unfortunately not unlocked. Cricket Wireless, last September. I have seen unlocked ones sealed on eBay for around $200 though. Although you risk the chance that its AppleCare is depleted or that you won't even get what you paid for to begin with.

Does anyone remember if shipping was free the previous time this phone was in stock? I think Apple typically ships phones for free and so it is a bit weird they are charging $8.00 for shipping.
Yup, I have seen the SE for cheaper too, but not unlocked new ones.
I think this has been the cheapest the new unlocked SE has been, at least when it comes to an actual store.
You have just thrown down the SE gauntlet, as far as some MR members are concerned. Be perepared.
[doublepost=1550608119][/doublepost]I hope the guy that has been trying to get one for his little girl sees this article. He has missed the last 3 times.
Weird... why are they selling them on their refurb page?

Thank you for the correction/clarification!
I bought mine during Thursday's release batch (2/14).
I didn't get a shipping charge, but I did get dinged with Denver taxes...
Maybe a Valentine's Day free-shipping special?
Agreed. Seems like it is free pick-up in store.
[doublepost=1550608727][/doublepost]Does it matter which carrier model I choose since they are labeled as unlocked? Having a hard time choosing between T-mobile and AT&T.....thanks.
