Thanks.
I believe the iPhone 7 is not a universal carrier phone. Meaning if bought from cricket and unlocked it won't work for sprint and Verizon since missing cdma.

Figured I'd post before it hits the deal sites: https://www.cricketwireless.com/cell...2gb-black.html
Thanks.

Depending on the model Cricket is shipping, it's either the Qualcomm-modem-equipped model that will work on all four or the Intel-modem-equipped model that only works on AT&T/T-Mobile (like the 8 and X). If I remember correctly, Cricket has shipped some of the Qualcomm ones in the past, which was an odd difference from what AT&T did.
The weird thing is that Verizon seems to be activating Intel-equipped 8 and X models for VoLTE-only (see: Visible), but apparently the 7 is left out.
The 7 I got from Cricket in April was Qualcomm and I was also able to unlock a couple weeks after activation via the ATT site.
Did they just lower the base price for this? I know the $100 off has been going for a few weeks now. But not sure if the net price is now lower.

Good deal if it's the Qualcomm model.
I ordered the 6s Plus. That only comes in Qualcomm. $100 less that the 7 Plus. Poorer camera and no IP67, but still has a headphone jack which I really want. Both the 6s and the 7 models have the issue with the power management system that was the cause of the throttling as the battery degrades. The 8 fixes this, but it's too expensive.
“It's best not to argue with people who are determined to lose. Once you've told them about a superior alternative, your responsibility is fulfilled and you can allow them to lose in peace.” Mark Crispin, inventor of the iMAP e-mail protocol.
Policy from Cricket says 6 months, but I unlocked through ATT even with the phone still on Cricket. They used to unlock ATT prepaid phones too, but that stopped completely. It's worth a shot after a couple weeks, or you could use one of the $8-12 eBay services that seem to have positive feedback. They also require you are activated with Cricket when they process the unlock.
Is the iphone 7 significantly better than the iphone 6s model ? - Thanks
