Any O2 Pay As You Go phone is locked to O2 for 12 months, because O2 sell the phone at a discounted rate, to try and recoup some of the discount the phone cannot be unlocked by O2 for 12 months.

Hope this helps

All UK iPhones are locked to O2. Latest versions cannot be unlocked nor will they be by O2 even at the end of contract (unless that policy is changed in the future)

The preset policy in NO UNLOCKING EVER. Until the policy changes or someone challenges it in Court that is how it will stay.
