I am interested to know this too! I may not have to wait for the unlocked version if you can buy from T-Mobile or Apple Store at full price and it is unlocked.
I will wait for the replies to roll in and see what is what! LOL!
Supposedly, if you buy it full price from T-Mobile, it'll be unlocked....but I'd just wait and get one from Apple, no worries for sure that way.
Checking unlocked
Did anyone bought an iPHone 6 from TMOBILE STORE?
You can probably check whether it is unlocked by using your IMEI #.
Just google IMEI iphone and there are bunch of websites that you can check if the phone is locked or unlocked!
Also people who got their Tmobile iPhone 6 from APPLE STORE, just check your damn IMEI # using those websites and stop worrying about whether to first stick in your tmobile sim card or other carrier sim cards.

Have one for india, but how would I test it? Don't get any connection here in US lol
If it worked just fine with a att so probably it will work just fine with any international Sim card so just don't worry

Here I mean GSM carriers only
Hopefully I will have an answer shortly... Waiting on the phone to arrive and will activate with international sim card.
I will let you know... but there is absolutely no reason it would not work if it works with an ATT sim.
There is no such thing as a US only unlock.
I will pay for your phone if you purchased the T-Mobile Unlocked phone from Apple and can't use your international SIM on it!
I can have results for you guys by Monday as I'll be using the iPhone 6 that was purchased on the US Apple Store with my Canadian SIM card.
I work in the US from Monday to Thursday's so I didn't get a chance to pickup my delivery today which is currently sitting with front desk at the hotel I'm stay at.

It is Locked purchased directly from T-Mobile.
I should be able to test that tonight. I normally use a StraightTalk in mine, but I also have a Swiss SIM that I can try. I will activate it with my StraightTalk SIM, but once that's done, I will try inserting my Swiss SIM. My Swiss SIM works in the US (it gets signal from AT&T via roaming).
But for now, I have to wait for the phone to be delivered at my house...
iPhone 6 off contract tmobile purchased from Apple.com works using a Wind Mobile (Canadian Sim).
Though I'm currently roaming in the US so it is using TMobiles network......

Tmobile iphone 6 purchased from tmobile store is not unlocked
Luckily for all you guys, I'm your guinea pig.
I purchased a iPhone 6 128GB from a T-Mobile store, and yes I payed in full. I tried putting an ATT sim in without ever turning on the phone and it was locked.
Sorry to everyone. Most of all, sorry to me.

Just a followup....only ATT phones were left in the configurations I wanted this morning. Bought 2. Both are happily working with T-mobile SIM cards. So yes ATT phones bought Device Only at the Apple Store are unlocked again this year. So I don't believe anyone who took my advice will be disappointed in me.
