As mentioned in the title, my younger brother 25fall is going to usa to study for a PhD, and he is thinking of buying a locked American version of iPhone from a certain fish/treasure merchant. The merchant said that there are various carrier versions such as T, XF, V, ATT, and SPE. It feels cheaper than buying it in US, and it costs less than 6k for a lock 16pro.
But what I am more worried about is whether there is any problem with using the iPhone of this channel in usa? For example:
1. Forced to spend high consumption by the operator to meet the contract conditions?
2. Does it affect credit reporting?
3. Forced to lock the machine by the operator?
Thank you guys in advance for your answer!!!
P.S. Which operator is the fastest to unlock?

Poster Mar 7, 2025Thank you guys for your replies! The summary is as follows: 1. Don't buy domestic "locked machines" 2. If you must buy it, buy a real lock, not a contract machine. Although most of the locked machines you can buy are default machines 3. It is better to buy locally, family plan, etc., there are many ways, maybe not as cheap as these machines in China, but safe!!!

Anonymous178 Mar 7, 2025There is no need to buy a locked phone in the United States. You can buy a lot of iPhone 13 during the promotions of prepaid operators such as Metro and straighttalk, and then take it to the Apple store to synthesize a large phone. This is cheaper than Taobao 25 fall After the suggestion of reading a PhD comes, wait until Black Friday and see what promotions are available

Poster Mar 7, 2025@ Anonymous178 Ah, there is also a synthetic gameplay? This is what I didn't expect

Anonymous830 Mar 7, 2025Wouldn't it be good to go directly to the operator to sign one? There is also a telephone bill
