Hey guys, I'm traveling to the US from Canada, I'm looking to purchase a new iPhone X that is unlocked so I can use it when I return. The only retailer I can find that sells it brand new is Best Buy, the model number shows it as a Verizon model, even though it's listed as unlocked on the website. If I purchase this unlocked verizon model is it truly unlocked to any carrier world wide, or only unlocked in the US? Also this model comes with the Qualcomm Modem correct?
Got a tip for us?

Did you check to see if Apple stores here in the US carry the unlocked sim free version of the iPhone X? I purchased a brand new iPhone 8 sim free model from our local Apple store. I'm sure Apple stores still carry the sim free unlocked version of the iPhone X.
I checked the apple store website, it shows the iPhone 8 still for sale, but not the iPhone X. I did some more research and it seems that if I insert a Verizon SIM card first, the phone should be unlocked for any carrier. Does anyone know if I can buy a Verizon SIM card without having a Verizon account?
