Any difference between store bought factory unlock and factory unlocking it yourself?
A relative of mine lives in California and was going to get me an iPhone. He says he was going to buy a used one that is factory unlocked. I noticed, a factory unlocked iPhone is sold pricier than one that is locked. I've also noticed that there are posts on Craigslist that claims that they can factory unlock an iPhone. Is there any difference? Can't you just buy a locked iPhone and just factory unlock it yourself? Or is there glitches and whatnot?
It's a lot easier just to buy it unlocked, then have to have the headache of unlocking yourself.

- Is there any difference between the beats wireless studio 2 and the brand new studio 3 wireless headphones? I currently have the beats pro that I bought a few years ago and I have the new iPhone 8 and it doesn't take a headphone jack unless you buy the special adapter which isn't godly expensive like $5-7. But to me that defeats the purpose of the phone. I was just curious as to if there are any key differences between the two and if so, what are they? Which would you prefer the two? Or maybe even keeping my headphones and getting the adapter?
