Regarding the bold statement, as far as i know, oversea set like US UK and so on are locked with their respective country simcard. Therefore, any reset/restore/update of phone might require the local simcard to unlock the phone.
For example, if you purchase UK set, you need UK simcard to unlock the phone once before you can insert Malaysia simcard.
i am not sure if oversea has started selling unlocked set which does not require any local simcard, if yes you may purchase since there is no software restriction.
They have already been selling unlocked set since long ago. For example, if you purchase UK set, you need UK simcard to unlock the phone once before you can insert Malaysia simcard.
i am not sure if oversea has started selling unlocked set which does not require any local simcard, if yes you may purchase since there is no software restriction.
As long as it is not carrier tied, the phone is free to use with any sim the purchaser wants.
Logically, if Apple were to lock the phone if you put a foreign sim, then you would hear ppl complaining about that in forums when they travel to oversea and uses their local sim card.
