iPhone 13 Pro Max Unlocked Phone Question

[Jazwire]

If I go to the Apple store and purchase an unlocked phone, can I switched carriers, just pretty much by just a sim swap.
So if I have Verizon right now but in the next 30-60 days want to switch to T-Mobile or Att, is that as simple as just sim swapping?

Kinda the whole point to having an unlock phone, yes.

I wasn't sure if soft-locked to the carrier upon sim insertation.
Requiring me to contact the current carrier before swapping sim cards.

So if I wanted I could have an active Verizon sim and an active TMobile sim. And make a Verizon call, swap sims, make a TMobile call, swap back and make a Verizon call, in theory.

Yes. Or you could just use eSim ( since about 2018 ).

I am kinda late but you could also use T-Mobile and Verizon SIM at the same time as dual SIM

Yes, as others have said. Simple and easy. Just swap sims and restart. I’ve done that several time. That’s the reason I buy unlocked from Apple. If I find a better prepaid plan, I want the transition to be simple abs quick.
