Grab a used iPhone 8 Plus on Amazon, and if the battery needs replaced it’s like $30 bucks or something, probably only spend around $200 total give or take.

I’m trying to look for a brand new one. Some stores may have them still, hopefully. Rule of thumb for myself is to avoid buying second hand as much as possible, especially when it comes to electronics

Do you plan on activating it? Or just a wifi device? If so go check out TotalWireless. It’s a 3rd party phone carrier that’s owned by Verizon. I got a 6s plus a couple years ago from them so they usually carry a bunch of older devices new. They might still have 8 plus’s for sale new there, but don’t quote me. Not sure how their supply has changed but they had them last year when I was using their service before I switched to T-Mobile.
