I have an iPhone 8 I bought for $100 6 months ago for a trade in I never did, but I am keeping it as a spare/hot spot for travel.
They are indeed valid because those are the two we traded in for 14 Pros for those amounts. As to why, I can’t say. My daughter kept her 8 for longer than usual since she liked the button. We normally get the new versions and keep the most recent ones as a backup.
We also normally buy directly from Apple but the VZ offers were too good to pass on.
