I was planning to buy an iPhone X from US and I was gonna use it in India. So i just want to make sure that iPhone X from Apple store are Unlocked ?.And is it going to work in India with Indian Carriers?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
If you pay retail from Apple, they are unlocked. The Att and T-Mobile version can only be used on GSM carriers. If you buy a Verizon model, they are unlocked for CDMA or GSM carriers.
Never mind! @Garz was right.

They do generally start offering a SIM-free version at some point as well, although it doesn’t appear to be available as of now.
You are right. They usually do sim unlocked. Maybe a couple of months after released. But Apple never sells the phone locked if you pay retail. They only stay locked if you do something like Att Next or your own carrier financing. Not the Apple upgrade program. Now remember this only applies to phones purchased at the Apple store.
Also, iphones sold at Tmobile and AT&T carriers stores are locked even if you pay full retail. I like that Apple's are unlocked out of the box no matter the carrier as long as you pay full retail.
