hi, is the iphone 6 T-Mobile factory unlocked !?

As has been said, T-Mobile phones purchased directly from Apple have been historically unlocked. No reason to think the 6 will be any different.
If you Purchase a T-Mobile Phone from a T-Mobile store instead of an Apple store, then they are not unlocked.
The big clue is in the Price form Apple. You are not paying a subsidized price for the T-Mobile phone when bought directly from Apple. Its a full price Phone which would suggest it is unlocked.
However, until such time as the iPhone 6 is actually released and its status confirmed there's no way to say with 100% certainty if that will be the case.
You need to wait until its released to be sure it is unlocked. But again there's no reason to think it won't be since all previous T-Mobile models have been unlocked when purchased directly from Apple.
Hope this is clear enough.

Does the iPhone 5s T-Mobile come Unlocked? Can I use a different carrier immediately?

HI, Does the iPhone 5s T-Mobile come Unlocked? Can I use a different carrier immediately?

Yes,
T-Mobile is providing Unlocked iPhone 5S that you can use with any other SIM immediately after buying it.

Is the iPhone 5s T-Mobile A1533 unlocked?

Is it, I got mine, I need to kno.

Yes, and no. First of all, the unlocked iPhone 5s has not been released yet.
T-mobile iPhones have traditionally been the exact same model as the factory unlocked, so yes, they are unlocked. What makes them different is that T-Mobile (Just like Sprint, Verizon and AT&T) hold all control over whether to lock them.
Will T-Mobile do so? Probably not. Can they? Sure. It's just another caveat emptor situation.

Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?

Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

Is the iphone5c unlocked version same as the iPhone 5c T-mobile version ?

I'm actually plannin to buy the iPhone 5s (unlocked), but since the unlocked version is not avaiable, sometold me that the iPhone 5s T-mobile is the same as the unlocked version. Moreever, apple does not indicate the Model number when you plac ethe order. I intend to use my iPhone 5S on GSM and CDMA networks in other countries.

That model will come factory-unlocked but in fact will be locked to T-Mobile, and only they could agree to unlock it for use on another carrier. However, at some point Apple will most likely sell fully unlocked models, but not just yet. This is pretty much how they have handled this in the past.

Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

All,
I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
Direct from Apple:
1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
Direct from Straight Talk:
2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.

HT4061 have paid for my new iphone 5c to be factory unlock the shop informed me this has been approved yet when i connect to my itunes account there no confirmation of this action be done .what should i due to actovate the facotry unlock.

unable get my iphone to be reconized hs being factory unlock by itunes

No shop can officially unlock your iPhone. Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. Unless this shop is an authorized outlet for the cell carrier, the shop is scamming you.
If they are an authorized outlet for the carrier, contact the cell carrier's customer support, give them the appropriate case/order number for the unlock request, and get them to actually process the unlock. Then follow the carrier's instructions as to how long to wait. They may tell you that there will be an email, or they may just tell you to wait a certain amount of time. Then this will be the procedure:

If you purchase the T-Mobile version direct from Apple, it is reported to be unlocked and should work. However, it may not support all of the LTE bands there.

How to check iphone 4s is original factory unlocked

How to check iphone 4s is originaly factory unlocked

Purchase an unlocked phone from a legitimate source (i.e. Apple if they sell unlocked phones in your country or a carrier who sells unlocked phones. See this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937).
If you already have one, you should be able to call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They should be able to tell you if it's locked and who it's locked to.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first..

Does the iPhone 5 require a factory reset to switch from GSM to CDMA

Before I ordered my iPhone 5 from StraightTalk I explained that I wanted to use it as a CDMA (Verizon) in the US and as a GSM (Vodafone) in Europe.
I specifically asked if the phone would become a CDMA phone again when I removed the Vodafone GSM Sim after returning to the US. The answer was Yes.
The CDMA function worked well in the US and the GSM function worked equally well in Europe.
However, when I did remove the GSM card, the iPhone 5 stopped working.
According to StraightTalk, the only way to return to the CDMA function is to have them do a factory reset, which means loosing all data and downloaded apps.
Of course, nobody told me that when I asked the question.
Does anybody know if this is a requirement for every iPhone 5 or just for StraightTalk phones?

According to StraighTalk, their "resetting" will cause all data to be deleted. It does not make sense to me either.
After I removed the SIM card, the mesage in the upper right corner said "No Service".
Resetting Network Settings made no difference.
When I talked to StraightTalk they made me dial some specifice codes. TFW service showed up in the upper left corner but they could not get it to work.
My mobile number is still valid. When I dial it from a landline, I get my voicemail.
As far as I know, StraightTalk uses the Verizon network for CDMA coverage (even if it says TFW on the phone) but I don't know how they tie into that network.
The problem is that the StraightTalk people seem to work from a script that provides standard answers. They may not know what they are talking about or they they do not want to make the extra effort to resolve this problem.
Either way, I am stuck with these people. If someone can tell me what should be done, I can ask them to take the necessary actions. Otherwise, I may have go through the exercise of making sure that all data has been synced with my Mac and then download all data and apps after StraighTalk had one their thing.

ITunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone/iPad -restore to factory set

I've had this issue with my iPhone for almost a year now , every time I connect my device to my laptop I get this error : iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone/iPad . Go to summary tab in your device and restore to factory settings ! And after I do so , iTunes tries to synch my device and after a few minutes i get this error that theres been a problem with synching and the same story again , restore to factory settings ....
I thought well there is something wrong with my iphone and I was too lazy to get it checked out but yesterday i bought my new iPad 16GB 3G/WiFi and guess what ... Same error !
I've tried different cables and computers changing my OS , reinstalling iTunes and so far nothing ...
I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this

Dwchico,
Hopefully I can help you. I had the very same problem from the get-go. Apparently, many others in the forums have as well. The problem appears to be something with the way certain motherboards mount USB devices. In particular, Asus motherboards have difficulty mounting iPad. If you are using an Asus based system, most have updated BIOS's that address the issue. I updated my BIOS today for my Asus G51J laptop and the problem disappeared completely. If you have an iPhone, you probably weren't having any problems, right? iPhone does not appear affected by this problem.

HT3939 Will the iPhone 5s t-mobile work in Brasil with a brazilian nano-card?

I live in Brazil and I have a relative in the U.S.. the forecast for the iPhone 5s get here is in December. I have my own nano-card and would like to know if the iPhone 5s unlocked T-Mobile will work here in Brazil with my nano-sim. Thanks.

Olá,
I just brought an unlocked T-Mobile iPhone 5S down to Rio de Janeiro and tried to use it with TIM, but it doesn't work. The U.S. iPhone Model A1533 doesn't run on Band 7 (2600MHz) required in Brasil. I can verify that the iPhone 5S from the United Stated does not work in Brasil. One of the United Kindom versions of the iPhone 5S (Model A1530) is listed as supporting Band 7. Perhaps that model will work in Brasil.
Boa sorte!
