Apple startet å selge sine offisielle ulåste iPhone 5s på nett i dag til $649. Tidligere har de bare solgt 5s "contract free" som ligner mye på de ulåste uten å være det. Det vil si at man har kunnet bestille 5s med T-mobile sim uten bindingstid på abonnement. Men man fikk med et T-mobile sim uansett. Videre har det også fungert å kjøpe 5s i butikk med Verizon abonnement, fordi Verizon ikke krever at man tegner abonnement i butkk. Så man har da kunnet kaste medfølgende sim-kort og bruke sitt eget sim. Men fom. i dag begynte de å selge 5s helt uten sim/abonnement.
Om dette bare er tekniske detaljer eller ei, vet jeg ikke, men nå er det i hvert fall helt problemfritt å kjøpe iPhone 5s i USA. Eneste aberet er at de ikke selger Model A1457, men A1533. Det har bare litt betydning i forhold til LTE/4g nettet i Norge i dag.
Her er forresten forklaringen fra Apple selv:
"About the Unlocked iPhone
The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T or T-Mobile in the United States. The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA-based carriers, including Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
If you don’t want a multiyear service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. If you choose T-Mobile, your iPhone comes with a T-Mobile SIM card already installed. You will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
Otherwise, the unlocked iPhone does not come with a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s, or a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s so you’ll need to get one from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using your iPhone, simply insert the SIM card into the slot and turn on iPhone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
Purchasing an unlocked iPhone means you will not qualify for the lower iPhone price associated with a contract. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
