The PHB is not, and will not be free. They’ve said the srd will be free which includes the basic rules and covers a lot of the ground that’s in the PHB. But that won’t be until some time after the monster manual comes out in February.
My understanding is you have to buy the PHB to have full access to it. Otherwise you have limited view and will have to pay micro transactions for certain things (classes, feats, etc.) individually. Pretty much like how you do now.

You can no longer purchase individual things like subclasses, etc. Only whole book purchases. They changed it a couple months back.
When you create an account you gain access to PHB for free, will that be the case for the new version?
If the 2024 basic rules are the same as the 2014 version you will have access to all 12 classes and one subclass for each class. Not sure about feats. 2014 only had one or two that I remember (grappler and sverfneblin sp? magic). I wonder if they will include all the origin feats since they are tied to backgrounds?
Yep. And they also have started giving out the new Free Rules (2024). In its current state, it only have material from the PHB (2024), but as each book releases, more will be added to the Free Rules (2024).

Real quick, I've now realised that it was the Basic Rules that came free, not the PHB
