As the title states, I've been seeing people with iPhone 4s's that have been factory unlocked and my friend says to check in the stores. I called them and they said they didn't have it. So, how are people getting these?
Got a tip for us?

Same with Canada although we do have to pay the full price...is it the same for the UK?
They are available at the apple store everywhere else but the US. The release date for the US sim free phone is November.
I'm not sure about the exact situation in the USA but here in Germany some carriers sell them unlocked alongside their other contract phones. Also, we can order unlocked IPhones from the official Apple website, so maybe it's the same on the US Apple site too.
Interesting, my friend said the same thing, to go in and ask and not to call the store. But this is in Washington State.
I also heard that when you buy it under Sprint, it's unlocked so you could buy the phone off of someone?

Don't forget the UK price includes Tax at 20 pecent and your price does not include tax.
Look at this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1253171/ I got one and didn't even know it, and I'm in Pa 🙂
The 64GB is $959 CAD after HST, where as the 64GB in the UK is $1117 CAD. Canadians I think has the cheapest unlocked iPhones...people from other countries chime in!

AU$999 here, which I believe is CN$1050, give or take a few $. Thats including 10% GST on our prices too, so it's more like CN$940 plus tax 😉
