I bought my 14 Pro unlocked and unactivated from Costco and activated it on T-Mobile myself at home. Then I switched carriers from T-Mobile to AT&T within 2 weeks of owning the device and had no problems whatsoever. I connected to WiFi, downloaded a new eSIM, and had service immediately. Didn't need to involve carrier support at all.

The difference seems to be how the device is sold. The unit I purchased was only sold outright as a normal product, like any other item. Devices normally sold as carrier units can be bought outright, but have this restriction.

Right. I thought it would be that way also. However the Apple employee at the store told me it would be locked for 30 to 60 days. Then an Apple employee over cx support also told me the same thing.

I will be picking up my iPhone today from the Apple Store and follow similar steps that you did. Hopefully it works out.
