why second hand? savings?
cash for a new phone seems strictly better from a supply chain perspective

Indeed. Plus you get to unbox it. And all the scratches are your own.
Plausible deniability
I have sold quite a few brand new Graphene pixels here on nostr that I set up as Nostr first devices with only open source apps. People appreciate no hint of them being purchased or set up at all.
Bought my pixel brand new and from a reseller, best UX
I should've said non-kyc (as opposed to ordering s phone from Apple)
What info then enters the SIM card's IMSI storage?
What about the cases where the new phone's IMEI must be legally registered to have the device's connectivity to the local mobile network?
Are you saying that purchasing a second-hand phone + installing a local non-KYC purchased e-Sim on it will bypass the requirement of the registration of the IMEI with the IMSI?
