About a month ago I broke down and bought my first ever smartphone to use to demo mobile-friendly websites to clients and show them how I came make their websites text customers with reminders and such.

I bought an iPhone 6s Plus.

Since then my father passed away, and I have never even opened the shipping box it came it.

Because of changes in life, it is unlikely I will be able to use the phone for 2-3 months.

That being said, should I return the iPhone and ask for my money back and then maybe get an iPhone 7s Plus if I want to do the above things later on?

Or should I hold on to this phone knowing it costs less than an iPhone 7s Plus, and will still be good enough for my needs.

Thanks.
 
Why can't you activate the phone and use it now? Since it's past the return period, most likely no. You could try and sell it and buy an iPhone 7+ if you want. There may be a market for a new iPhone 6s that has a headphone jack.

I'm not trying to be heartless, but I fail to see why your unfortunate family circumstance is not allowing you to activate your iPhone on your account for months. You can activate a new device online and pick a new plan in a matter of minutes.
