Apple's trade in service, guess where the traded in phones that are in mint condition go, third party licensed re-sellers like Jump plus. But you're paying brand new prices, I found this out the hard way, I bought an iPhone 14 Pro a year after it was released when the iPhone 15 came out. I thought my phone was brand new because I paid $1500 for it, it was not brand new, by the time I actually realized this it was far too late to do anything about it. yes my phone has been working fine but that's besides the point.
I recommend just going to the Apple Store, these third-party sellers are not offering you any discounts or perks, it's better to just go to an actual Apple Store so you're getting a brand new phone. read more
