Not if it isn't done like that. And even when it is,
that is done for the first one and doesn’t need to
be done again.

Wrong.

And when a carrier asks for a price on a million or ten locked phones,
they will get a better price just because they are getting so many and
the locking is included in what they get for the much better price.

Irrelevant to locked phones in general.

Not if a million or ten are shipped to a carrier from the factory locked.

That is just one way of doing locked phones.

Not all locked phones are done that way.

They don’t necessarily have locked software.
