Will the iphone 5 be unlocked?

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if the soon-to-come-out Iphone 5 will be unlocked or will it be locked to each other the carriers (such as AT&T,Verizon, and sprint)?
Because I have a t-mobile phone number, so i was just wondering if I it individually in the store, will it be locked or unlocked?
Thanks!

yes it will come unlocked, and only usable on GMS networks, ATT TMOBILE ect.

Will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store?

will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?

Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US? That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none. The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim. If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this. If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.

When will come the iphone 4s factory unlocked?

Hello, i want to know where will come the iphone 4s factory unlocked? because here still say: coming in november... but, what day of november?? i gonna be in united states just for 3 days more, so i dont know where can i buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s, please let me know! and, whats the difference between ''factory unlocked'' and ''contract-free'' thanks!

If you care about the camera, you will not want the iPad. The iPad's cameras are intended for video only, particularly video conferencing, and so are quite low in resolution.
In regards to getting an unlocked iPhone 4S in the US, understand that the warranty and service on the iPhone is not international. So if you were to purchase the iPhone in the US and anything were to go wrong with the hardware, you'd have to ship the iPhone to someone in the US to take or send it to Apple for service. I'd therefore strongly suggest waiting to purchase your iPhone in the country in which you live.
Regards.

The ATT the IPHONE 4 official unlock service

The ATT the IPHONE 4 official unlock service

It is just as of April 8, AT&T is unlocking . Some people have reported lengthy delays to the process as AT&T has to verify all the required conditions.
From CNET's report of the announcement:
"Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones. The only requirements are that a customer's account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee."

Do the iPhone 5s come unlock with AT&T

When ever they are released. At&t will have it. Apple isn't going to miss out on making sales trust me. These releases are getting dumb basically we get a "new" phone every 2 years. All the S is a remake with a few minor upgrades not even worth talking about.

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.

If you're talking about buying the phone in the US, forget it. There are NO unlocked iPhones sold in the US and no US iPhone can be officially unlocked. Thus, it doesn't really matter what it costs.

According to this article: http://www.macworld.com/article/1167240/ios_6_features_you_might_have_missed.htm l
It does... I saw a photo of the relevant slide that was put up during the iOS 6 announcement, but am too lazy to look for it now.
It's possible it may not have made it into the final release. Apple never made any statements about it as far as I know beyond the slide referenced.
Near the end of the iOS portion of the keynote, Apple showed a slide listing a host of other features included in the iOS 6 update. Among those were Game Center challenges, the ability to connect Game Center friends from Facebook, VoiceOver improvements, personal dictionary in iCloud (for adding your own terms to the dictionary, which can sync between devices), and per-account signatures in Mail. Also on the list was improved privacy, which—as a new option in Settings—will let you control which apps can access which bits of personal data, like your Contacts, Calendar, or Photos. Other features on the list included autocorrection for every keyboard,Bluetooth MAP support (which is commonly used to help cars better offer hands-free communication with Bluetooth devices), kernel ASLR (which aims to make data even more impervious to snooping from malicious attackers), custom vibrations for alerts, redesigned stores (for the App and iTunes stores), IPv6 support for Wi-Fi and LTE, word highlights for speak selection, improved keyboard layouts, alarms with songs, and faster JavaScript in Safari. Apple also says iOS 6 includes a global HTTP proxy option, which would supplant the current approach, limited as it is to per-connection proxy settings."
