I "think" that the iPhones arrive at the store (Best Buy, Apple Store, etc) and they all come unlocked. When the sales person activates it, they also send a request to Apple to lock the IMEI to the appropriate provider.

That way they don't have to stock based on provider; just based on sizes and colours.
