In certain countries there are certain laws and restrictions that does not allow Apple to sell iPhones that are locked to local mobile phone providers. These laws made Apple come out with an iPhone that known on the market as Factory or Officially Unlocked iPhone, which is not 100% true, as this phone isn't been locked, it had been made by Apple without any SIM card restrictions so you can use it with any GSM Sim worldwide.
Among the advantages of this phone is that it is not important how often you update, upgrade or downgrade your firmware, it will still work with any SIM card worldwide, also you can still jailbreak this iPhone and you don't have to be worried about effecting the unlocking status of your factory unlocked iPhone. But aside from the fact that this iPhone is NOT locked to the specific service provider, and you can utilize it worldwide without needing to unlock it, it is exactly like the locked iPhone.
Factory Unlocked iPhone is better than a locked iPhone due to two reasons, one its already unlocked so you don't have to be worried about unlocking it, and two you can change your firmware version each time apple have a new version as well as your iphone will stay unlocked.
