Apple Starts Selling Contract-Free, Factory Unlocked iPhone 4S Models In U.S.

Apple has begun selling no contract, unlocked iPhone units factory 4S between the United States in some Apple Stores.


The news comes from 9to5Mac - a blog for all things Apple - in a post where he talks about the iPhone Apple unlocked 4S sale of shares in the United States.

From 9to5Mac:
Although Apple says that they will begin selling unlocked, contract-free iPhone 4S units in the United States in November, we have learned otherwise. Select Apple Stores in the United States have begun selling contract-free versions of the iPhone 4S, which our friend Steven Troughton-Smith was able to both verify and purchase.
After purchase, the iPhone 4S without contract by the device via USB cable to your PC and open iTunes are unlocked. You see a message "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked." On the screen and then you can set up and sync your iPhone as usual.

The availability of units of the iPhone 4S without a contract was confirmed and verified. 9to5Mac Steven Troughton-Smith (aka the guy behind the Syrians iPhone 4 ports) has bought one and took a photo to make it on T-Mobile's EDGE network with a SIM card from O2 roaming function:

The iPhone 4S in seven countries on 14 October due to popular demand, started after he announced at Apple iPhone event, please contact the company's campus in Cupertino, CA. The demand for the phone is so high in fact that all mobile operators in the U.S. are sold out and if you want to get an iPhone 4S right now, well, you have to wait a few weeks. Apple called it their most successful launch of the iPhone, according to the announcement that the iPhone 4S received over one million pre-orders in the first 24 hours of pre-orders will live.

Based internal memory, there are currently three models: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. On a two-year contract from AT & T, Verizon or Sprint cost $ 199, $ 299 or $ 399 respectively. On the other hand, if you want to get a factory unlocked iPhone 4S without contract, then costs $ 649, $ 749 and $ 849 respectively for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models.
