Well, I bet that many many many people out here in the forum and also out of the forum, don't know that iPhone misses out many functions which even a 4K Nokia 3110c has....
I'm just trying to enlighten them.
Fine.....
But anyways, we're discussing about the features of the iPhone and comparing it with other fones because this damned price of 31K & 37K doesn't justify it features.**
** = I still believe that locked iPhone is going to retail around 12K.....

What is the difference between locked and unlocked iPhone?

It’s also not connected to the Internet 24/7, cannot make calls and is rather difficult to carry in your pocket. Let’s make sensible comparisons, please!

In a locked fone. You can't change your Mobile Operator until your contract is finished. For eg. Vodafone selling you iPhone @ 12K with 2 years of contract.....
You'll have to use it and pay all the bills until your 2 years are complete...Moreover, only limited plans will be available so that the operators can rob your money.
^^ Just an example, the facts may be wrong.
Whereas, an unlocked fone will be completely free of these terms and conditions.....

Ok. Thanks.But can we change the operator after the contract is over? does this mean that iPhone would be useless after that? can we renew

Locked means your phone comes with a operator contract, your phone won't work with any other operator unless you illegally patch it. Unlocked means no such operator restriction.
You cannot change your operator. You have to renew with them only. Maybe here you can shift between Airtel & Voda.

Yes, we can change the operator when the contract will be over.
But the iPhone will definitely not get useless after the contract, it will just get OUTDATED (after 2 years) and you'll have better options available and most probably, you'll not use it further more and get a new phone. (I'm just predicting the future)

So How many times do we change operators? Its a good idea to get a locked phone.By the way, What is the expected price of locked iPhone? 12k as Gagandeep said?

Well, the plans will definitely be expensive than the normal ones and you'll not have many plans to choose from. In the end, the operators and Apple will be having tons of $$ after robbing the customer for 2 years.
Well, we still don't know.
Wait for 22nd. That was just an example.
thats why we have forums, good points.
An eye opener for newbies.

No! The price that has been announced is not unlocked.So basically you have to pay 31k for a locked iphone which IMO sucks big time!
WHAT????
Locking was enough for hardware and now its for operator...its madness. I mean they can do anything within contract term, and you have to follow like zombie.

Thats the problem. People start blaming companies(Apple in this case) without even knowing whats the real truth
I would say its locked because
a. It says you have to buy a new vodafone connection with it compulsorily
b. Special postpaid plans have been laid out for iPhone users.
