πΊπΈ ESIM LOCKED / FACTORY LOCKED
β
β
β
These particular iPhones are purposely locked to use a particular network: meaning a company can meet apple to produce a device for them and only allow their SIM card to work in it. So this is very common in USA where you see iPhone that can only work with its companyβs SIM card and if any other sim is inserted, there wonβt be service so you need to only use the phone with Wi-Fi or hotspot for internet connections. Eg AT&T, Verizon, T mobile . They all have eSIM versions and physical sim.
Another example is if MTN produce a phone that only MTN SIM card will work inside, glo and airtel will be useless inside. But any other thing will function properly, you wonβt just get service .
FACTORY UNLOCKED β
β
β
These are the normal iPhones that apple produces them to support any carrier from any part of the world ( all SIM cards ).
This one comes is two types, which is
1. πΊπΈ ESIM UNLOCKED β
β
β
: Apple has different companies in different regions, so from the iPhone 14 and above all iPhones produced in USA are eSIM unlocked and their model number ends with LL/A: meaning there is no sim slot on the one, so to activate your SIM card, you need to go to your network provider and theyβll give you a QR code to scan, in few minutes, the SIM card will automatically be on the phone just as if you inserted the SIM card inside.
For example you can walk to any MTN or airtel store and tell them you want to activate eSIM. If you need a new sim itβs fine, if you want to use your main sim, itβs fine. Theyβll just give you a bar code to scan and after 30 minutes, the SIM card will be activated in your phone. Note that: it has no difference with the one you insert in a physical sim phone and you can add up to 8 different eSIM on a single iPhone. If you need a physical SIM card back, you just go and welcome back the line thatβs all. Besides eSIM is advantageous in a case where your phone is stolen, the thief canβt remove your SIM card and throw it away, which is more easier for tracking.
2. PHYSICAL PLUS SIM. β
β
β
These iPhones are produced from different regions and has a sim slot on them. It can be from Canada, Belgium, uk, Belgium etc and 13 pro max and below produced in USA as well. You insert 1 SIM card and you can also add up to 8 eSIM on the phones which gives you added advantage. 99% of the physical sim iPhone I sell is this particular one.
In the case of Dual PHYSICAL SIM. β
β
β
These are iPhones from china region and their model number ends with CH/A.
China has a policy that every phone produced in their region must have 2 physical SIM card, thatβs why. you canβt add eSIM such iPhones.
As for CHIP UNLOCKED β
β
β
This was a previously locked phone ( factory locked to a particular sim ) so thereβs a little chip in which you insert any SIM card with it and youβll have service for all networks. No Chip, no service. The chip is not expensive .
As for WORLD WIDE UNLOCKED &
MDM BYPASSED β
β
β
These ones are also locked to a particular company before getting bypassed to support all SIM cards in the world. If you factory reset them to welcome page, itβll lock itself back.
DM = Display message ( changed screen BM = Battery message ( changed battery
CM = Camera message ( changed camera
NFID = No Face ID
NTT = No True Tone
DDM = doubled changed parts

I guess we now all understand the common iPhone terms.
I took my time to type and explain this without google or ani Ai / text copying somewhere, so kindly like and repost.

Itβs a lie, every phone vendor earns 300k profit on iPhone Xr to 13 then 500k-800k on 14 pro max to 16 pro max.
Some of you on this app are just in every vendorβs dm. Please stick to one person and stop wandering from one place to another like a cattle rearer. You people think we wonβt know? Lol.
