That's actually wrong. Apple has what's called a Flex Activation policy. Some networks can lock your device based on just the sim card installed, even if it was paid for outright.
I'm actually curious if yours is locked and you just don't know it. Mine purchased from BestBuy is locked (thanks T-Mobile) even though it was purchased as "unlocked."

- lotsofpulp 4y agoMy carrier lock says “No Restrictions”. I have been an ATT customer since 2008. It would be disappointing to find out that unlocked phones purchased from Apple.com are lockable after the fact. It is already disappointing that any unlocked phone, much less Apple which heralded unlocked phones, are lockable after purchase at Best Buy or other retailers. Apple’s website does not say that unlocked phones purchased from Apple are lockable after purchase: https://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/ https://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/ > Will my new iPhone be unlocked? > Every iPhone you buy from us online or in an Apple Store is unlocked, with the exception of a few carrier financing options. With an unlocked iPhone, you’re free to go with the carrier of your choice.
