Edit: Picking the financing option forces you to pick a carrier but buying it lets you get the phone without locking a carrier in

I despise being on a contract. I heard that the new iPhones are all going to have eSims so it should be easy to hang them unlocked but when I looked at the preorder it made me choose a carrier.

I’d like to have Google Fi, does picking one of the carriers lock me into a contract?

    I just went through the “get ready” process on the Apple Store app, and it allows for picking a carrier-free option.

      Yep, I had selected the financing option which forces a carrier but selecting Buy lets you pick a carrier later. I edited my post, thanks
