Edit: Picking the financing option forces you to pick a carrier but buying it lets you get the phone without locking a carrier in

I despise being on a contract. I heard that the new iPhones are all going to have eSims so it should be easy to hang them unlocked but when I looked at the preorder it made me choose a carrier.

I'd like to have Google Fi, does picking one of the carriers lock me into a contract?

You’ve been able to buy factory unlocked phones in most countries since the iPhone 4.

Just buy from directly from Apple, and in checkout, either buy outright, or finance through Apple. That’s the easiest way to avoid carrier BS.
