Do iPhones come unlocked direct from factory?

Hello,


I want to buy an iPhone 13 pro max for a friend who lives in Egypt. I’d rather not have to brave the crowds in the malls to get to the Apple a store - I’d rather buy online and have it shipped to my house.

The only thing I want to know is- if I buy the phone outright (not associated with a particular provider) would it come to me unlocked?? my friend can’t use it in Egypt unless it’s unlocked.

Thanks in advance!!

You can select the "unlocked" option when buying a new phone at apple.com.
