Hello rossy259,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're interested in purchasing an iPhone, and if it would be unlocked. We can help point you in the right direction.


Every iPhone you purchase through Apple is unlocked, except for a few carrier financing options. That information is outlined on Apple's website in the section that says, "Will my new iPhone be unlocked?": iPhone - Buying iPhone - Apple


For additional questions, you can contact Apple through this link here: Contacting Apple


Best regards.
