Carrier Sim Unlock for Preorder

Last year, they didn't until a month or two after release, if memory serves me correctly. However, if you bought using the iPhone Upgrade Program, the phone unlocked as soon as it was activated.
I have an unlocked (purchased outright 6s+) and would like to be able to preorder an unlocked 7. I hope they give the option. The alternative is to show up at a carrier and purchase the phone outright from a GSM carrier like I did last year. That seemed to work fine for me but I had to drive 35 minutes to the nearest store.
I am part of the Note 7 recall and am wanting to come back to iPhone. Just wondering the best way to return the Note 7 and be able to preorder the iPhone 7 (likely on Friday) without being phone less until the iPhone 7 is shipped.
I'm on the same boat. I returned my Note 7 for a full refund and am currently using a backup phone. What carrier is your Note 7 for? You should have until Sep 30 to return the phone.
As for unlock, T-Mobile version paid in full are unlocked from apple, it should say something like "unlocked with t-mobile sim".
