On June 29, it was reported that many "parallel imports" on the market in the past were mainly divided into two types, one is unlocked, that is, there is no operator lock, and it can be used at will, and the version of the National Bank is not much different, but the price is cheaper than the National Bank.
There is also a locked machine, the main thing is to increase the limit of the operator lock, the locked machine can not be used normally after changing the operator, and it must be used through the perfect "black solution" or through the card sticker.
This also leads to a very low price of the locked machine, and even the price difference between some models and the new machine is more than 1 times, but the risk behind it is also very large.
However, a new rule proposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States will directly turn locked phones into unlocked phones.
The new rules mention that operators must unlock their iPhone or Android smartphone within 60 days of activating the phone, which is intended to make it easier for users to change carriers, thereby driving market competition.
Of course, the cheapness of the locked machine is that the operator subsidizes the hardware, and if the new regulations are implemented, the price of hardware is bound to rise, losing the current huge price advantage.
In addition, the new rule is still in the draft stage for public comment, and the FCC will publish the full document on July 18, at which time more information will be announced.
Another point to note is that starting from the iPhone 14 series, the American version of the iPhone has directly canceled the physical card slot, even if it is an unlocked machine, it needs to be hard broken to increase the use of SIM card slots, which is extremely risky, and it is very recommended for everyone to start.
