Do we have any reason to believe Apple will sell factory unlocked ones from the get-go?
Here in the UK the iPhone 4 was available from Apple factory unlocked at launch. I would imagine they will do the same with the next one at least here. I know in the US it was only a few months ago they offered it unlocked and not from launch. I'm intending to get the new one factory unlocked just like I did with the iPhone 4.
