Apple iPhone 4s 8 GB Black QX, New, lock state not stated
New Apple iPhone 4s, 8 GB in Black, listed under the QX code with a -D SKU; lock state is not stated and should be confirmed with your account manager. The 8 GB black 4s was the late-life budget tier, and a new, boxed unit is a collector and display item or an export unit for live GSM markets, depending on the lock.
The iPhone 4s is Apple's October 2011 model, the phone that introduced Siri, the dual-core A5 chip, and an 8 MP camera with 1080p video in the glass-and-steel body of the iPhone 4. It has a 3.5-inch Retina display, 512 MB of RAM, storage from 8 GB to 64 GB, and a 3G world-phone radio with both GSM/UMTS and CDMA on the US model, selected by carrier. It ran iOS 5 through iOS 9.3.6. Dealers buy the 4s from TG Wireless as a collector and prop phone, for export to markets with live GSM or UMTS service, for legacy iOS testing, and for parts, since it has no LTE and no US service today.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The iPhone 4s is a 3G phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022, Verizon's CDMA network closed on December 31, 2022, and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so no 4s gets US service today, whether GSM unlocked or Verizon / Page Plus. GSM unlocked units still work abroad where 2G or UMTS service is live; the Verizon units are CDMA-based and are collector, Wi-Fi, prop, and parts phones. Lock state differs by listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Collectors who buy the 4s by color and storage tier, especially unlocked and 64 GB units.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period iPhones in quantity.
- Export of GSM unlocked units to markets where 2G or UMTS service is still live.
- Repair shops, developers, and display buyers who need working iOS 9 devices or parts.
