You said you did not get an unlocked iPhone, meaning you new for a fact it was a locked phone. Now you say you want to confirm it is unlocked? I'm confused.


The only way to confirm it is unlocked is to attempt to use a sim card from a different carrier than the one you are using now.


If you selected T-Mobile as your carrier during purchase, then you would have received a T-Mobile sim card inside. That is normal. It does not mean its locked to T-Mobile.


If you can use the T-Mobile sim card, and a sim card from an entirely different carrier, without having it issue an error, then it means its unlocked.


There's also this disclaimer from Apple:


You can see it in the "Will my iPhone be Unlocked?" link here: Buy iPhone 11 Pro - Apple.com
