The T-Mobile iPhone 5S is sold through Apple. It is also the unlocked model as well. Very confusing the way Apple listed that on their website.
So if i go to T-mobile i can pick up an unlocked version instead of waiting week or maybe more if i try to buy it online from apple
T-Mobile won't get the 5S the same day AT&T, Verizon and Sprint get it. *As far as I know*. So anyways, you will have to wait.

So if I want unlocked to use on VZW- that is the one shown as t-mobile unlocked on Apple.com?
Ok. So at the risk of being flamed for being "stupid".. If I order the "T-Mobile GSM Unlocked" device, it will work with AT&T Wireless LTE bands, if I am reading Apple's LTE description page correctly, right?
Yes that one will work on AT&T's LTE network.

T-Mobile also will not be stocking the 32GB. If you can find a 5S at a store it will be a 16GB. They did the same for the iPhone 5.T-Mobile won't get the 5S the same day AT&T, Verizon and Sprint get it. *As far as I know*. So anyways, you will have to wait.
I went to the Apple Store today and was told that the unlocked T-mobile iPhone 5S would be "carrier locked" in the U.S. (so was not be usable with an AT&T sim card) but would be usable with any sim card internationally.
Can anyone confirm or refute this?
I don't understand how they can, in effect, only lock out AT&T while allowing the use of sim cards from every other carrier worldwide.
