carrier unlocked iPhones can be purchased in store and online.
This assumes that you are purchasing within a country where they are available. New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong to name a few.

Unlocked iPhones are not available through US Apple Stores or purchases through the US Apple Store online.

If you live in a country that sells the iPhone and it ISN'T the US, you're golden for the most part.
You can buy a factory unlocked iPhones from another country via sites like eBay, but expect to be a much larger amount than even an unsubsidized phone. Also, if that phone were to have any problems you would have to take it to an Apple Store in the country of origin.

You cannot buy unlocked phones for Apple in the USA at all. Online, on the phone, in store, anywhere.
I know, I know. I'm not talking about USA. I'm talking about the carrier/factory unlocked ones in countries such as Canada, France, UK, HK.
Yeah you probably can walk into one of those stores and purchase a factory unlocked iPhone. But like I said, if it breaks you have to return to said country to get it repaired. So either make an international friend, or trust that a phone bought abroad (or on eBay) will never break.
Probably?
Are ALL the phones in Canada unlocked? Even the ones you buy subsidized for Rogers for example?
