Be interesting to see how this policy holds out for next years release.
 
Just saw this and wondered if anyone would pick up on such a big change being buried in app release notes.
 
If they offer this feature next September, I predict that the new Verizon iPhone is going to be in short supply. Anyone without a Verizon account will be able to get the SIM-free model on day 1 directly from Apple.
 
iPhone X is in plentiful supply! I looked at 7:00pm and the Chicago area stores had the SIM-Free available for pickup.

That’s why they wait a month before making the SIM-Free model available.

If I order for a pickup in US, they ask for a government issued ID. Can that be an Indian ID? Or it has to be issued by the US government?

My guess is that most people carry a driver’s license issued by one of the 50 states, or the District of Columbia, as photo identification.

If you reside in territory governed by an Indian tribal authority, I don’t see why they would not accept ID issued by that tribal authority.

I assume they would accept a driver’s license issued by Puert Rico, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands as well.
