I'm an AT&T customer that will be buying iPhone X at full-price, any downsides of getting Model A1865? It has all the bands that Model A1901 has plus additional ones. I'd would think Model A1865 would be easier to sell in the future since it covers more bands.
  • Model A1865*
  • FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 66)
  • TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41)
  • TD-SCDMA 1900 (F), 2000 (A)
  • CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900, 2100 MHz)
  • UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
  • GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
  • Model A1901*
Model A1901 does not support CDMA networks, such as those used by Verizon and Sprint.

  • FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 66)
  • TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41)
  • UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
  • GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
 
No downside at all. But I don't think you can pre-order on the 27th for the Verizon model as it requires your carrier account info with Verizon. You'd have to wait till the 3rd and buy it in store.
 
Thought read elsewhere that would need to be activated on Verizon before using on another network even though bought at full price.
Anyone done ?

That would be if you purchased it at Best Buy/Walmart/Target.
