Like most people who suffered through both AT&T and VZ, I wanted to try a carrier that didn’t physically and emotionally assault me and steal my wallet. I am now using H2O and loving it, but trying to navigate to an iPhone X on release day. Does anyone know if we will be able to buy an AT&T iPhone in the Apple store and then just use a 3rd party SIM as I did with my 6+ and 7+? I’m also willing to pay for (but not use) a month of service with ATT so I can get a phone from them, and then cancel. Is this possible? The Apple online store won’t let you proceed with the purchase unless you already are unlucky enough to be stuck with an ATT/VZ/TM account.

It’s hard to imagine that a company making products as meticulously nice as Apple does is going to force people to use such inferior carriers.
