I doubt it. I don't think they have ever had unlocked on launch day.
Most countries other than u.s do.

Will I be able to buy an unlocked one though?
If you're not among the first 20 or so in line, I doubt you will be able to snag one.Due to a mix of reported production issues and strong demand, in-store availability of iPhone X will likely be extremely limited. Prospective buyers should be prepared for the possibility of waiting in long lines
I don't think it will be that bad, but I expect just a handful for each store.1 per store?
Where did you see that there's going to be a "good number" available?If there are really a good number available for 'walk up' buyers then it seems to somewhat contradict the previous article about limits of supply.
Unless this is Apple saying to the naysayers, 'Look, things are not that bad'. Sadly, it won't stop the like of Kuo from spreading FUD.
Doesn't everyone get basic marketing... it's called the rule of scarcity. The more people think something is harder to get the more people want it.
Apple are putting out these stories as they know demand is low based on the price of the device, so by circulating stories saying supply is limited, limited stock in store etc etc, people will try harder to get one creating a PR buzz.
Whilst supply may actually be tight, this certainly being used to make the product demand look higher.

That is what I was thinking. You have 55 launch countries and at least 8 different phone configurations:
- 64GB Silver CDMA
- 64GB Black CDMA
- 256GB Silver CDMA
- 256B Black CDMA
- 64GB Silver GSM
- 64GB Black GSM
- 256GB Silver GSM
- 256B Black GSM
All those models spread across 2-3 million units on launch day. There aren't enough on launch day to satisfy the first 1/2 hour of pre-ordering.

Sorry, I don't do the wait in line for the supposed availability of a phone on launch day anymore. I am too old for that. Last one I did was the iPhone 5s. These days I will pre-order it and whenever it arrives is fine by me.
Why is everyone so sure that KGI was right? That info came from the same guy who made mistakes when predicting the Apple Watch Series 3 (cellular capabilities). So why is every one soooo sure that he told the truth here?That is what I was thinking. You have 55 launch countries and at least 8 different phone configurations:

It will be as with every iPhone. And a lot of people will get 1-2 weeks, and then the shipping date will move up suddenly. It happens every year. But it won't be as bad as predicted.this phone isn't actually in short supply I presume
