Buying from Apple unlocked is the way, even though TMO & VZW attached iphones purchased via Apple are unlocked also. Only ATT activated/attached iphones are locked. National retailers sell flex iphones, which lock to the carrier if the 1st SIM activated. Therefore, it's always best to buy from Apple sim free.

And water is wet. Have your carrier order you another phone after contacting them with the details of this unfortunate occurrence.

Not exactly in the US. BBY sells flex models, while the Apple Store will sell unlocked models for TMo & VZW, but not ATT. All 3 of the tmo 14PMs I got last month were unlocked at purchase. YMMV.

Take it to Apple. You should end up with a replacement phone. Sorry this happened to you.

Reply to Folks, I am first time iPhone user. I am just loving the experience so far(14 pro max). I bought the leather cover as well. So wanted you opinions if AppleCare is worth it, it’s quite expensive to be honest by Onion_rings_

So you have an expensive phone but you’re balking at 15 dollars a month to have peace of mind if anything adverse happens to it? Anyway, to answer your question, YES. AppleCare is definitely worth it.
