It’s happening even when buying from the Apple Store and paying the full price.

I've bought nearly every phone I've owned directly from Apple, used them on AT&T and T-Mobile, and they didn't lock...

Hopefully it pans out like that. Will be testing it today

You will be fine all you gotta do to check after connecting to your ATT account is go to settings > general > about > sim restrictions and you should see “no sim restrictions”

Not true. I brought a US iPhone to Spain (bought from apple) and inserted my Vodafone SIM and it immediately worked.

You must have never connected to a US carrier. I have to for a bit.

True. I did not.

I don’t like being restricted to a carrier so I have bought most of my iPhones from the Apple Store fully paid and unlocked. I have travelled abroad and never had the lock issue. However, with this new eSim thing, I’m not sure. I might buy an international unlocked version if I plan to upgrade. I really like the flexibility of buying a sim at the airport and swapping it when traveling abroad.

That's at&t only. if you buy an unlocked iPhone or Apple and you put a T-Mobile Sim or Verizon it won’t lock like that.
