With a few exceptions, most iPhones made for the past several years have both already. The iPhone 7 is an exception to that as the AT&T and T-Mobile devices lacked the CDMA modem.


But for most, to change carriers, your iPhone must not be carrier locked. If not, all you need is a SIM for the carrier you want to switch to. With the switch to LTE, the whole distinction of GSM and CDMA is really not even applicable anymore to recent models and carrier service.
