Can anyone verify if Verizon iPhones are locked now? I've decided to get an X, but they are not available at the Apple store any more, and I surely don't want a locked version.

The Apple store just says they are still available at authorized resellers.

Most all the carriers are advertising them for $900, but I am not confident the kids working there will know for sure about the carrier locks.

Thanks
