buying a new iphone 15

buying a new iphone 15 comes with two options:

  1. with a $30 carrier activation discount if you opt to activate it via select carriers
  2. $829 if you wish to connect to your preferred later

does this mean that if I buy the $799 ones, they will be carrier locked?

No. See the following from Buy iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus - Apple


Is it easy to get connected?

Yes. We’ll help you set up your carrier, number, and rate plan — you even get a discount. And your new iPhone will be unlocked.


Will you get an unlocked iPhone?

When you purchase an iPhone at Apple, you’ll receive an unlocked model that you can use with any carrier. The only exception is if you purchase an iPhone through AT&T Installment Plans — you will receive a locked model.

This is what apple says on the disclaimer part while providing a T-mobile activation: "The iPhone model you purchase is subject to your wireless service provider’s policies, terms, conditions and agreements which may include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after conclusion of any required minimum service contract.
