iPhone 6 unlocked ?

Hello,

I was searching for the price of unlocked iPhone 6 Plus and on the apple website (as of Sept 10, 2014) I only saw: Contract Free T-Mobile from $749. From the apple website on iPhone 5S contract free: I saw 2 options 1) T-Mobile from $549 ships with a T-Mobile SIM 2) SIM-Free from $549 requires a GSM compatible SIM.

So what does this mean for iPhone 6? Does it mean that the 'contract free' phone will be shipped with a T-Mobile SIM installed?

thanks....

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Since it was not issued or sold by my carrier, the phone is called BYOD, it is 100 % remained unlocked, all you do is replace the sim and reset, to sell to others. Clean IMEI, and yes you can switch SIM cards like they do on YouTube between AT&T, verizon, tmobile, (not Sprint). but I m not dealer, just end user, I only have 1 sim so I have not tried that, just happy where i m at. my point here is if you are not customers of those 4 US carriers, you can get iPhone 6 fully unlocked from apple.com. Hope this help

Peter, it does not lock to the first carrier like Carphone Warehouse phones do.

It will work on Verizon only with LTE, if you go outside of an area where that is available you will get no service. If you are in an area where LTE is data only you will not be able to make or receive calls.

No, there was a similar situation last year, as soon as Apple started carrying a true unlocked model at their stores they no longer sold an unlocked T-Mobile model as there was no need to.
