While screen size aids in ease of reading and watching even for large hands the device is a two device with the plus. Cant imagine the 128 gb being needed for a phone vs tablet. Form factor on 6 is perfect.

You are right about the branding, since the GSM models are unified now I believe.
My 5s was purchased from a t-mo retail store and I had to wait 40 days to get it unlocked.
Both were unsubsidized.

Indeed, mine arrived unlocked, tested with my t-mo sim and my friends AT&T sim. Purchased from Apple.

In addition, buying the T-Mobile contract-free version from Apple also gives you an unlocked iPhone.

I seem to recall this being an agreement with the FCC. In exchange for some extra LTE spectrum Verizon agreed to sell all its LTE phones unlocked.

So I purchased my phone on ATT NEXT; forgetting that I prefer an unlocked phone... anyone have an experience paying off the ATT contract in full and getting the phone unlocked.... also does that qualify for 5x from Ink? thanks
