In some countries there are specific laws and restrictions that doesn't allow Apple to market iPhones that are locked to local cell phone service providers. These laws made Apple come out with an iPhone that known in the market as Factory or Officially Unlocked iPhone, which isn't 100% true, because this phone is never been locked, it was manufactured by Apple with no SIM card restrictions so you can utilize it with any GSM SIM card worldwide.

One of the advantages of this phone is it does not matter how often you update, upgrade or downgrade your firmware, it'll still work with any Sim worldwide, you can also still jailbreak this iPhone and you do not have to be worried about effecting the unlocking status of the factory unlocked iPhone.
