When will iPhone 5 be available contract-free @ the US Apple Store?

Hello everyone!
Would anyone know when will iPhone 5 be available contract-free @ the US Apple Store?
Thnx in advance

No contract iPhones will likely be available on the 21st when the iPhone 5 becomes available for retail sales.  Note though that you can buy an unsubsidized, contract free iPhone which will still be locked to a specific carrier.
If you want an unlocked iPhone, that is also sold at the full retail, unsubsidized price, but Apple has not announced yet when unlocked phones will be available.
Just beware that contract-free does NOT necessarily mean unlocked, so make sure you are buying what you actually want.
Also note that the new iPhone 5 GSM only phone comes in two versions - one for NA LTE channels, and one for European/Asian LTE channels, so be sure you get one that will work with the data networks available where you plan to use it (the non-NA LTE channel version will not be sold in the USA).

  • When will iPhone be available all over the world?

    It's really difficult for me to purchase iPhone from USA or UK where no relatives of mine live. Therefore I need to know when will it be available in countries like singapore, thailand, etc..so that I can purchase it easily...

    Singapore...released 9/21. Thailand...sometime in December 2012.

  • Will iPhone 4S be discontinued on the Online Apple store?

    Hi, will the iPhone 4S be sold on the Apple Store online after iPhone 5S is released?

    Who knows - only Apple knows that, but if you bothered to listen to the keynote and what they said in this, they did say that the iPhone 5 would be discontinued after the launch of the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 4s would still be sold, so probably not.
    The line up would now be the iPhone 4s, then the iPhone 5c and then the 5s and that is it, no more iPhone 5.

  • HT3939 iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store: LOCKED or UNLOCKED?

    If i buy an iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store will it be LOCKED or UNLOCKED? Can i use it Europe with a local carrier? Cannot find a clear answer to this question anywhere! Thank You!

    According to a chat with an Apple support representative, the iPhone 5s is not yet sold fully unlocked. But it is unlocked for international use. This means that it won't work on any GSM carrier in the US other than T-Mobile. But it will work with any GSM carrier outside of the US using a SIM card. You should make sure the frequency bands are compatible with your local carrier.

    Hi Destiny
    Thank for contacting the Apple Online Store. I hope you are well. How may I assist you?
    I placed an order for 2 iPhone 5s
    this is the T-Mobile version, so I'm paying full upfront price... almost $2000 altogether
    My uderstanding is that these phones are factory unlocked, but the wording at the website is a little misleading. I want to verify that they are indeed fully factory unlocked because I plan on uisng them with AIO Wireless
    This may not be the option for your then. These iPhones come preinstalled with a T-mobile for use domestically and can be used internationally with a local GSM carrier.
    You would need to contact AIO wireless directly to see if it would be compatible.
    so they aren't truly unlocked?
    They are unlocked in the sense that they can be used internationally. I can see how that would be confusing. The option you are looking for would be the contract free and SIM free iPhone 5s.
    We have not released the unlocked iPhone at this time.
    We do have the iPhone 5c unlocked available. Have you considered that option?
    I have an iPhone 5, so the 5c isn't attractive for me
    Do you have any idea when the iPhone 5s would be released contract free and SIM free?
    At this time we do not have a release time frame. I'm sorry I don't have more information available for you.
    I recommend checking apple.com/hotnews for updates on it's release.
    ok, thank you.
    You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion.
    Is there anything else I can assist you with?
    This is all, thank you. I will cancel my order.
    Do you know how to cancel your order?
    yes
    Excellent! It has been a pleasure.
    Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat with us again.

  • When will we be available to use the extentions that we used on 3.6? Don't you think this is a sudden change to disable all those extentions?

    Some of extensions i used in 3.6 were not available on 4.0. Also i couldn't realise a speed advance with 4.0. Nothing to consider as a revolution at first sight. So as lots of people i think this upgrade has no real benefits. However, i've been using mozilla/firefox for about 6 years and these are not enough reasons to give up and select another browser instead. I wonder when will we get our extensions back?

    Please give me a link to download my previous version of Firefox -- the latest in the 3.6 series, I believe -- anyway, I always had the latest version. I cannot operate for a month until Norton gets its toolbar extension compatible, and I do not appreciate losing something I depend on, like their identity safe toolbar.
    A working version of 3.6, for this month, that's all I ask.

  • My iPhone won't work in the Spanish Apple store, but my iPad does.  Same Apple ID

    I currently live in Spain.  I've lived here for a year and I just started having trouble with the App Store.  My iPhone 5 gives a message "Account not in this store, your account is not valid for use in the Spanish store. You must switch to the US store before purchasing". All I'm trying to do is update my apps.  Using the same Apple ID on my iPad I can update the apps.  I've tried changing my address info to my US address and I get the same message.

    Hi, I have three accounts and usually get the same message.
    In my case, it is because I have apps downloaded from the three different accounts. When it tries to update, it will check first from which AppStore it was downloaded and try to connect. So, if you have two Apps that need updating and one was downloaded from the US and the other from Spain, then you'll get the message.
    What I did was delete all the Apps and then download them again from the Spanish AppStore. Most are still recognised as purchased.
    Hope it helps.

  • Where do i go to make an appointment to get the Iphone 5 with telstra at the sydney apple store?

    I am trying to make an appointment to get an iphone 5 under telstra contracts...
    What do i click on? Genius bar? workshop or Business??
    Plese help

    You can just show up for a genius bar appointment, but it's best to make an appointment in advance. If the Apple stores in Italy are anything like the one's in the US, that means they are slammed...you may have to wait several hours if you don't have an appointment.

  • Can you tell me when will iPhone 5 be available contract-free in USA?

    When will iPhone 5 be available without contract in USA?

    It is already available contract free, simply pay the full unsubsidized price.
    Contract free does NOT mean unlocked.  It will still be locked to a carrier, whichever one you choose when purchasing.
    I'm guessing your intent was to ask when the unlocked iPhone will be available.

  • Why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
