I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, as long as they have stock. For me, the apple store will be where I am going, since I want to do a trade in.

I think your chances will be good. I'll hopefully be walking into my cellular provider on the 31st and walking out with an SE. I did that with the 6 and had no issue. I live in a small town so very good chance of getting what I want with my provider.

If BestBuy sold unlocked phones they would of made a mint from myself and my fiance' over the last several years. We only buy unlocked phones.

Yeah if I wind up getting the iPhone SE, I'll definitely be going to Apple for a trade in. I could trade in my iPhone 5s and get the iPhone SE for $10/month, which winds up taking $160 off the total for the SE. If I tried selling my 5s on Swappa or eBay, after their fees and everything, I'd only wind up getting around that much for it anyway.

Yes bestbuy usually charges more, ask for a manager and ask for a price match. A regular employee will say they cant on new cell phones, but a manager will approve it. Done it several times.

Best Buy also charges $50 more for buying the SE off contract.

$449 for the 16 and $549 for the 64.

Wow, not going to happen for me. Thanks for the knowledge! Like Sherry said, I love unlocked phones so I'll rather drive 25 more minutes to the apple store over best buy.
