SIM-free unlocked iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now available from Apple

As expected, Apple has begun selling SIM-free unlocked versions of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, over three months after the pair’s release.

Since their launch, Apple’s latest flagship smartphones have been offered in the U.S. with a carrier contract on AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon, or unlocked and contract-free on T-Mobile. But now, they’re also available unlocked and SIM-free through Apple’s retail and online stores in the country.

You can use a SIM-free unlocked iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus with a SIM card on any supported carrier worldwide. As noted by Apple, “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.”
