My comment was more about your statement regarding the SE 2020 deals.You‘ve been able to buy an unlocked iPhone for years now … nobody will know anything about the price until launch day in September/October time frame. People will guess, estimate and hypothesize but nobody will KNOW until then.
Will the 13 mini come as an unlocked device, most likely yes - I mean the 12mini did, the Xr did, the SE did.
