What's the difference between factory unlocked and normal unlocked iPhone?

I'm planning on buying an unlocked iPhone. The official Apple website sells the unlocked version at around $600, but there's a factory unlocked version sold on Amazon at around $800. What's the difference between those two? I'll be using my phone on Tmobile btw.

    Some says that unlocked "normal" phones being used with different service provider than the phone was originally locked to, it won't have same quality network service.

    In case when the phone is factory unlocked, meaning it wasn't locked to any service, you shouldn't experience any troubles with lower signal using the phone on different networks.
