Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen (Unlocked) (Black Box - Like New)

If they had a 128gb version I’d be all in. Alas, these days 64 gb just doesn’t seem enough.

If it had 128 gigs, it would be more expensive!
I just want an Apple phone to use in Europe this summer so it’s cheap enough to be worth it for me.
I’m worried my Pixel will have issues there (or so I have read).

Pixel owner on AT&T here. Have used mine in Italy, England, France and Iceland without even the slightest issue. I just used AT&T’s roaming, but I could have just as easily slapped a local SIM in there to use. My phone is unlocked already.

I use Project Fi. Never liked ATT, for obvious reasons.
Some posts on Reddit say Fi doesn’t work well in Milan. And Switzerland is a whole different deal.

Ermmm… actually… it came in a white box… I activated mine today. So far so good. The description, after activation on my Verizon account dashboard, is “ASIS IPHSE MNIGHT 64G USA”. I upgraded mom from a standard SIM iPhone 7 to this SE3 eSIM. It is clean, like new, and appears to be in excellent working condition. I am impressed that the Battery Health & Charging are 100%. Of course the warranty coverage is expired as expected. But the quality for the low price is quite reasonable for $244 shipped compared to $429 new for the exact same hardware.

Apple’s website says:

iPhone SE (3rd generation)
Purchase Date: April 1978 :eyes:
Serial Number: FJQ75XXXXX

ChatGPT decoded this serial as:

The serial number of an iPhone can provide information about when and where the device was manufactured. The third character of the serial number indicates the year, and the fourth and fifth characters indicate the week of the year.

For the serial number “FJQ75”:

  • “Q” is the third character, which corresponds to 2021.
  • “75” are the fourth and fifth characters, indicating the 47th week of the year.

Therefore, your refurbished iPhone SE was manufactured in the 47th week of 2021.
