iPhone Lock refers to Apple phones that are sold with an exclusive contract with a specific carrier.

The term "Lock" implies that the iPhone is carrier-locked, meaning it can only be used with the SIM/eSIM from the carrier it is locked to. When attempting to insert a SIM/eSIM from a different carrier, the phone will not recognize it and display an error message.

This is because in countries like Japan, the United States, etc., telecommunication carriers collaborate with Apple to produce iPhones that are carrier-locked, allowing them to work exclusively with the SIMs/eSIMs of that specific carrier. This enables carriers to offer exclusive deals and promotions tailored to their network.

While iPhones with carrier locks often come with a lower upfront cost, they can be inconvenient to use, especially when it comes to handling SIM cards. Users may face difficulties using SIM cards from different carriers.
