I have a well aged apple ACC, I'm pretty sure amazon doesn't sell the new iPhone + I already hit them recently and had to file pr and everything it took like 4 weeks. don't wanna do that again.

Simply don´t, apple terms are not always pro consumer and maybe they won't open a exception, the success of the SE will always depend on their end, if u still decide to pursue the SE, be conscientious to go for a call/ text call with a agent and ask to escalate the case if needed.

Maybe he doesn't wanna fuck his amazon account. I've been trying to stay away from amazon because of this. I refund little things all the time (because I have to)

I would like to encourage you to try all methods. I'm more particularly interested in FTID. Everything here is public BUT I want to learn from green.

In my opinion FTID isn't reliable, opt for traditional methods with higher success rates.

apple will askj for pr aswell

Yes it will and probably close the case with no solution.

what method do you recommend?

Amazon DNA or WIR (Best options, I would choose WIR)
or
Apple DNA (Really hard to SE apple these days so I wouldn't recommend it)
