iPhone 7 Plus. How do you check for sim free models?
apple.com you can buy directly from their website and select the sim-free option.

Otherwise you can use sites like istocknow.com to view if anybody has it in stock near you. Then give them a call to confirm they have it.

if I b ought a sprint iPhone outright from apple, can i use it on T-Mobile?
AFAIK they come SIM locked to Sprint even if you pay full retail. If you buy the Verizon it is unlocked out of the box.

What iPhone are you talking about?

Yep, if I were to recommend a different version than the sim-free, Verizon would be the next best option.

If you buy from Sprint.

If you buy from Apple (full price) it will come unlocked.
Given this, then a Sprint iPhone 7 or 7 plus purchased full price from Apple would work for the OP.

That said, I would still recommend getting a sim-free option if possible.
