Can you link to this? I don’t think this deal happened because Apple doesn’t discount this heavily. Some of their partners might but only in exchange for phone service or something. The SE is $350/$450 USD new, not $250 like the above poster said.

I didn’t mean from Apple or an authorized reseller. Check Swappa - that’s where I got the above price.

Ah, ok! Yes, I’ve bought five iPhones on Swappa and Gazelle. I don’t think a used or third party refurb is an apples-to-apples comparison with a new X, though I prefer the SE. I’m hoping the SE 2 in the spring will have iPhone 8 internals.

I agree. I mention secondary SE prices to show that frugal & discerning Apple customers will go much further down than the iPhone 7.
