I'm as dumb as a post. I thought SIM-free meant no SIM slot. Now I finally understand! Thanks for your patient and complete answer, Winston!! My iPhone 5 is on its last legs (one camera out) and before we go abroad I want to get a new, carrier agnostic, unlocked iPhone, mainly for its camera. The best camera is the camera you use and I won't be carrying around a real camera when my iPhone has a good enough one.
Don't worry. This stuff can get confusing fast. I think there were Verizon/Sprint iPhones "way back when" which did not have SIM card slots.
I had to put a T-Mobile SIM back in part of the card it came from when I found that the iPhone 5 I wanted to use had a micro-SIM slot instead of a nano-SIM slot. And I may eventually want to put it in an LTE router I have, which uses a mini-SIM, so I saved the remaining part of the card.
