I saw that and was disappointed - but then I read the fine print and it sounds like they ARE unlocked and you can switch providers freely (even while still financing)?
Ah, looks like that is the case, with a couple exceptions:
> When you purchase an iPhone at Apple, you’ll receive an unlocked model that you can use with any carrier. There are two exceptions: If you buy an iPhone through an AT&T Installment Plan, you will receive a locked model. If you buy an iPhone through Boost Mobile Financing, it will be locked for the first 60 days after activation.
