iPhone 6 - One Phone... Any Carrier?

Alright cool. So on launch day I can just go to the Apple store and say I want a Verizon iPhone and it'll be the unlocked?

Yep! As long as you buy it for the full $650 price, it will be considered unlocked and able to use on any carrier

Buying it outright means it is unlocked, and the Verizon version has all of the CDMA and GSM band to support all carriers but Sprint.

Whether you buy it full price or subsidized, Verizon's version is unlocked for GSM.

Really? I would think purchasing a Verizon iPhone will be locked to only Verizon.

Nope since verizon bought that certain spectrum a few years back, they have to allow their devices to be unlocked (those that use that band that is)

It would be so awesome if the iphone 6 would be identical for all US carriers

Maybe if all the carriers would use the same frequencies and bands Then we would have 1 iPhone model

That wouldn't even be necessary seeing how the 5s and 5c supports so many different frequencies right? wouldn't be far fetched for the 6 to support even more hahaha
