I tried to pre-order the AT&T iphone6 at the apple store and they said they won't sell it for full price, I could only upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and they said I could only order 1 phone for my account which currently has 4 iPhones. If t-mobiles service was as good as AT&Ts in my area I'd switch, but damn you tmobile, hurry up and expand your damn LTE network!
Got a tip for us?

Is the T-Mobile iPhone 6 unlocked for pre-order?

You should be allright with any carrier as long as you pay full price. Except Sprint OFC.
Confirmed. The T-Mobile phone from Apple is unlocked. My AT&T SIM works fine in it.
Pried apart something on my keychain to get the SIM slot open.

rnizlek, did you activate the phone using the T-Mobile SIM or did you wait for setup until you put your AT&T SIM in? (maybe it doesn't matter though)
Glad to hear that, I'm on Straight talk (ATT network) and I can't wait to replace my crappy Note 3.
You da man! Can't wait to get my unlocked T-Mobile iPhone 6 this afternoon, or whenever UPS gets around to delivering it
Here is what I did:
1. Unboxed iPhone 6
2. Removed T-Mobile SIM (did not turn on iPhone before I did this)
3. Inserted AT&T SIM from existing iPhone
4. Turned on iPhone 6
5. iPhone 6 picked up AT&T LTE after about a minute and has worked fine since.
I have still not connected the phone to iTunes. I am waiting for my SIM-less iPhone 5 to finish syncing right now.

Do you get the "congratulations, your iPhone. Has been unlocked" message in iTunes?
Dude is it because I am SUPER excited or that screen looks AMAZING?
I'd say it is because you are excited...that photo was taken in a darkened train tunnel under Baltimore, with my old 5 and and the protective plastic still on! It's pretty out of focus.
That being said, looking at the screen in person, it does look amazing!

Just connected it to iTunes. I didn't see a message explicitly stating it was unlocked, but I didn't look too closely. I got the 'welcome to your new iPhone screen' and it asked me if I wanted to set up new or restore from backup. But it shows my AT&T phone number and appears very happy on the AT&T network.
