I can confirm the restore process is still used to unlock. I’m not sure what 3rd party houses do to unlock but you’re absolutely right with the carriers. When you satisfy your payment plan the carrier updates Apple and the database is updated. You restore the phone and when it reboots the fir

What do you guys think is the easiest way to verify with any given phone if its unlocked or not? I know you can swap in say a TMO sim, but I can't believe there is not an easier way? I've sceen some EMEI lookups but often you have to pay to look up the lock status. And also for the unlock to pr

If you pay the full retail price for an AT&T phone, I'm not sure if its unlocked? Also even when your order on apple.com shows "preparing for shipment" you may be able to track the package before Apple updates your order with a tracking#. Go to: http://ups.com click on tracking click on the track

Mary, you picked the single most popular version. That black 128 GB is selling like crack laced hotcakes which is pretty good considering unadulterated hotcakes are already good sellers.:) T-Mobile is totally crushed under the weight of orders. You can’t even pull your order status right now,

Unless you ordered the Matt black like I did, and apparently everybody else ordering from T-Mobile did too. Just kidding, although they did say it was the most popular color. Who'd of thought? I will be very curious once these phones start rolling out, how people do or do not like the new home b
