Pardon my curiosity, but may I ask why you bought several of them?

That, I am not sure. Sorry! Might be better to ask that question on the SlickDeals post.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid - Crystal Clear. It is not as bulky and the grip is nice.

My SE3 came with iOS 17.0.2, and it has been perfect for me so far.

I have both and the 13 Mini. The SE3 and 13 Mini (although smaller and lighter than the SE3) are too big and heavy for a comfortable one-handed use. So, I am still daily driving my trusty OGSE. The OGSE still functions perfectly for me. It runs all the apps I need and use constantly flawlessly. The only annoying thing about it is that some websites and apps don’t load and function properly because they are being designed and optimized for the flip-flop sized iPhones. I actually find this to be true for the SE3 and 13 Mini as well.

 

The SE 3 Starlight I got from the Straight Talk deal is gorgeous, but, damn, it’s so heavy for one-handed usage! Oddly enough, I get eyestrain, nausea, and headaches from prolonged use of it. I’ve never had this problem with my OGSE, and like the OGSE, it’s also an LCD display... This makes me wonder if I’m going to have the same problem with my 13 Mini once I decide to make it my daily driver, and I’m honestly dreading for that day to come. I really wish Apple would just re-release the OGSE with updated internals (this time with Haptic Touch) and call it good! And you know, just keep on re-releasing it every few years. sigh One can just wish…😞

How in the world could I copy your post when yours was posted on r/iphone 4 days ago and mine was posted here, on r/iPhoneSE, 5 days ago? LOL

 

If you read the details of this SlickDeals post, it has all the information you need. But basically, you have 2 options. Go to Walmart around 10 am - 5 pm when you’ll more than likely catch a cellular rep (not a regular Walmart person) and ask for the Straight Talk $49 Deal which you can get if you buy the $149 iPhone SE 3 on Straight Talk and activate it right there and then with their Silver Unlimited service plan which costs $45, with Auto-Renewal OFF. After the phone is activated, you can then purchase the SE 3 and take it home with you. Use the phone in their service (do some calls and texts) for 30 days. You only need that 1 month active service for it to auto-unlock in 60 days.

Second way of getting it is through Straight Talk’s website, that is if you can snipe one when they do get some in stock which is always random. The Notify Me option doesn’t really do jack. You’ll just have to keep on refreshing the website and hope you stumble upon an available one and snipe it as fast as you can. Anyway, once you get one, add their Silver Unlimited plan that costs $45 (with Auto-Renewal OFF), then it automatically deducts $100 for you, which makes it so you essentially just spent $49 + $45 = 95 + some dollar-ish tax for a brand new SE 3 which can become a full fledged unlocked iPhone SE 3 after 60 days.
