In Tenkasi, an unlocked iPhone generally sells for more than a carrier-locked one, because it works with any SIM and appeals to more buyers. Here's how much the difference matters.
Why unlocked iPhones fetch more
Most iPhones sold in India are already unlocked, so they carry no restrictions — you can use any network, and so can the next owner. A carrier-locked import (locked to a foreign network) has a smaller buyer pool and needs unlocking, so it fetches less. If you bought your iPhone in India, it's almost certainly unlocked and gets the standard price.
How to check your status
