Really strange pickup, to be honest. True story - when I first saw these phones in Target, I thought I was looking at 3rd party/knock-off phone cases. It wasn't until I looked closer at photos I had taken and noticed the absurdly high prices, and then realized those were actual phones, not knock off cases. The packaging is just so strange for a product sold in Target stores. Looks like something I'd find on temu.

I work in the tech section at Target and I always advise against getting these as they're almost a scam (not a scam but overpriced). When people ask about unlocked phones they always see these and I have to explain how overpriced they are because most people dont know how cheap you can get older iPhone on ebay or Swappa etc. For years we sold new iPhones thru AT&T but most stores have stopped doing that in the last few years.

$500 for a 64GB iPhone 12 with 84% battery is a scam even in europe where the resale value of used iPhone's is higher this is a complete scam, it would probably be around 250 euros here or maybe even less because black is such a standard colour that there is a lot more of them so people would be willing to sell theirs a little cheaper. The fact Target is doing this is just plain wrong.

It probably doesn't fully justify why the why the price is high on the phones but it could be that the phones are factory/networked unlocked. A good amount of the phones on eBay and the like are network locked to a specific carrier/network.
