We receive many questions about the Factory Unlocked iPhone like; What exactly is it? What is the different between an apple iphone and a Factory Unlocked iPhone? Which one is better? Can one still jailbreak it? Basically update my firmware version will i lose my unlock feature on it? If I jailbreak it will I lose anything? How much will it cost? Where can I purchase it? Will Apple do international shipping onto it? What are the countries that have it?
In some countries there are specific laws and restrictions that doesn't allow Apple to market iPhones that are locked to local cell phone service providers. These laws made Apple come out with an iPhone that known in the market as Factory or Officially Unlocked iPhone, which isn't 100% true, because this phone is never been locked, it was manufactured by Apple with no SIM card restrictions so you can utilize it with any GSM SIM card worldwide.
One of the advantages of this phone is it does not matter how often you update, upgrade or downgrade your firmware, it'll still work with any Sim worldwide, you can also still jailbreak this iPhone and you do not have to be worried about effecting the unlocking status of the factory unlocked iPhone. But aside from the proven fact that this iPhone isn't locked to the specific service provider, and you can utilize it worldwide without needing to unlock it, it's just like the locked iPhone.
Factory Unlocked iPhone is better than a locked iPhone due to two reasons, one its already unlocked which means you do not have to worry about unlocking it, and 2 you can upgrade your firmware version every time apple possess a latest version and your iphone will stay unlocked.
