Buy next iPhone Sim-Free(apple.com) or Full price through Verizon

[ajumbaje]

So I have a 5s right now and am looking to switch to the new 6(4.7 inch one). It might be speculation, but should Sim-Free option on apple be the same as the verizon model iphone?

Both the Sim-Free and Verizon 5s are model A1533. Is there any reason that would change with the next iPhone? I would prefer to buy the phone on apple, ship it to my place, then get it activated at a verizon store(unless I can just put my sim in my 5s into my new phone)

Buy verzon

The sim free model only supports T-Mobile and att in US. The Verizon model supports all three, buy the Verizon.

I don't see a reason why they'd change unless they plan to make one version that works with all the big four carriers.
