iPhone 25 eSIM activation

Will new iPhone be delivered with eSIM activated if carrier is chosen when order is placed September 15?


In my case, AT&T is carrier, but I wish phone to not be "locked" to AT&T.

iPhone XS, iOS 16

It will be locked if you choose a Carrier while placing the order.


If you buy a brand-new Apple Device

  1. Purchase Apple Products from the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and many Apple-authorized resellers and wireless service providers.
  2. If you choose "Connect to a carrier later" (Unlocked iPhone) when you buy your iPhone, you can activate your service when you receive your device.
