Please tell me what avenues I can pursue in this situation.

On May 18 I ordered an unlocked gold 64gb iPhone SE. It was from a third party seller on amazon with very good reviews. I did my research... On the 25th it arrived I think. I had previously just had a bad experience with buying a used iPhone from a third party seller, so I thought if I bought new, I'd have no issues.

Well it turns out I was wrong. Often I get "no service" and the only thing that fixes it is either hard rebooting or safely turning it off then back on again. This happens so many times a day I lose count. It hinders the phone's ability to receive calls, and text. It's such a subtle problem that you wouldn't know it's there just by looking at the phone. I thought it was all my fault. Like maybe I just had poor connection. So that's why I waited this long.

Unfortunately since it's past the 30 day mark, there's nothing no one can do. Not amazon, not the seller. I'm shit out of luck and $422.

I made an appointment to go to an Apple Store, but what more can I do? Advice? I'm really lost and upset. I just wanted an unlocked phone for use with straight talk, not this
