Apple starts selling unlocked iPhone 5

iPhone /

Back around the September release of the iPhone 5, Apple said it would be selling an unlocked iPhone 5, which means a model that is not tied to a specific network, within a few months. Apple has now officially begun online sales of the unlocked iPhone 5 through its website, The Washington Post reported.

Apple also sells unlocked versions of the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4, and like these models, the iPhone 5 will only work with supported GSM networks and will not work for Verizon or Sprint customers. The news source also revealed that the largest GSM-based network that does not have the iPhone is T-Mobile.

The unlocked versions will mean there are no carrier subsidies attached to the purchase, meaning the unlocked iPhone 5 starts at $649 for the 16 GB model, with the 32 GB model costing $749 and the 64 GB model costing $849. In addition, Apple restricts the sale of the unlocked models to two per customer.

A new iPhone can “unlock” a world of possibility, but all the fun can be cut short if the device is damaged. Should your new unlocked iPhone 5 ever suffer an accident, iResQ's iPhone repair services can get your device back to working order and you back online in no time.
