A way to get an unlocked iPhone 4S before it is announced?
If I go to an Apple retail store and ask for an AT&T iPhone 4S, contract-free, for 649$, will it be unlocked?
Check out this video of a guy showing his unlocked 4S(video from 3 weeks ago, October 14th):

Thanks
No one here knows why Apple hasn't announced the availability yet.
Frankly, Apple has no reason to provide an explanation or defend their decision, they are selling 4S's as quickly as they get them available.
The announcement is "Coming in November". An intelligent and rational human being would assume that to mean last day in Novemeber and then be pleasantly surprised if it happens earlier. Unfortunately, there are people stomping their feet and whining because it hasn't been announced yet, get over it.
This is no different that the "why won't Apple unlock my carrier locked device" or "why isn't the warranty international" debates. Frankly, the regulars here get tired of constantly repeating, Apple is free to make their own decisions just like as customers we are free to take our business elsewhere if we do not like Apple's business practices.

I bought my iPhone 4 locked from USA. I leave in Cyprus and i want to know if there is a way to get it unlocked. Could it be changed to an unlocked one with a fee paid to apple.
If you purchased the phone from a person, you need to find out which carrier they used and go to them to see if the will unlock it. If you purchased it from a carrier, give them a call to see what they will do.
Just like atlantabrave said...Apple does not unlock phones. -
Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.
Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5
What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5 when it is released. I want to get the phone as quick as possible. If i order it on The first day of pre orders will i get it on the same day as the release in stores? I'm on an unlimited data plan with AT&T. Because the new iPhone will most likely have 4 g data will I loose the unlimited plan?
Apple has not made any announcement. We are not allowed to speculate on this forum.

I want to change to local carrier sim card when traveling. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5?
I live in the US, and want to buy iphone 5. I am having a hard time to figure out which iphone 5 I should get. I will use the phone in the US most of the time. Therefore, I will purchase a plan from a US carrier. I also want to use the phone when traveling in Asia. I don’t want to use international roaming because every time I travel, I need more 1,000 minutes talking on the phone. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier. Does iphone 5 have the same option?
"Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? "
Yes.
There has been no announcement about the release of an unlocked iphone 5 yet.
"I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier."
If it is unlocked then it can use other SIM cards. -
Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store
Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store in USA
if you buy the phone from apple, online or store, and you do not use your upgrade, in other words pay full price. You can go to att.com. scroll your mouse over the wireless tab. and click the link, "unlock iphone" Fill out the few questions it asks you and at&t will contact you by email with instructions for unlocking the phone. I spoke with at&t about this the other day and as long as the phone isnt in a contract or the contract is satisfied (termination fee paid) then they will unlock it for you..

As I heard, If i get an unlocked iphone 5s, I can use it with my Wind Mobile which i have to have a $40 monthly plan for it. So, I want to buy an Iphone 5s that I can use it here with Wind Mobile and in turkey with my turkish line that supports Iphone. So, is it possible that I can purchase an Iphone 5s that will be usable within Canada and Turkey? Im asking because, In Turkey, you need to register the Imei of the phone on your Passport to use it. Also, if i buy an unlocked Iphone 5s, will I be down to use it anywhere with any line?
I dont know if you know the procedure in Canada and Turkey. Wind mobile wasnt supporting Iphones until they decided to let people use Iphone 5s with their $40 plan.And as i know, Turkey is the only country that asks you to register the imei on your passport to use it. So, most of people did not know it. so procedures are changing country by country. Are you sure that If I buy an Iphone 5s from a canadian apple store, use it with my wind mobile line and the turkish line in Turkey?

I plan to buy an iphone 6 from New York. I am from India and shall be using the phone in India. Is it possible to get an unlocked iphone from the store? If yes, how much would it cost?
It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA. -
I would like to know if I can get and iPhone 4 or 4s unlocked at the apple store in Chicago or NYC
You can probably get an unlocked iPhone 4. Apple has not yet released unlocked versions of the iPhone 4S in the US, at least not officially, though unconfirmed reports have claimed that some Apple Stores have had some. You'd need to contact the appropriate Apple Store and ask.
Regards. -
Can I get an unlocked iphone 5?
I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 but not from the apple store.
Cause they dont have any...
I wonder if you could tell me where can I get one in NY city, something near the 1st ave.
thank you.The unlocked iPhone 5 is not available for purchase in the US at the moment and you have answered your own question with your statement below, but then seem to have gone on to contradict it directly in your next response. Make up your mind!
"I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 but not from the apple store.

Well, if you know of all these people who bought it in the Apple store, then why not go and ask them and don't bother to ask here?
The unlocked iPhone 5 is not available for sale in the US at this present time. -
Is there any way to get iCloud sync (iPhone + 2 Macs) without wi-fi?
We have two Macs (MacBook Pro, iMac) and one iPhone 4; OSs up-to-date (Lion, iOS5). Our only routine access to the internet is via the mobile phone 3G network for the iPhone, and via a 3G USB stick/dongle for the Macs, also using the mobile phone network. We do NOT have access to the internet via a local wi-fi link to a router (whether ADSL or cable). This is in Melbourne, Australia, btw.
Question: is there any way at all that we can get syncing of contacts and calendars for all three devices? - preferably automatic, ideally real-time whenever a device could see the internet. With syncing set, there seem to be some random updates (and duplication) between devices, but it seems that normally syncing is enabled only when the device sees the internet via a local wi-fi link to a router, and that's what we don't have. (We can't trundle the iMac to an internet cafe either!)
Understood that a local sync would be possible via iTunes for one of the two computers and the iPhone, provided they could see each other wirelessly - but there's a second computer...
E-mail no problem; we use IMAP.
All suggestions gratefully received!Thanks for this quick response.
I thought I had established by searching forums that iCloud sync routinely requires wi-fi. I can see from Apple documentation that backup does; and that Documents and Data (in iOS) has a switch to permit/deny syncing using a cellular network. What I have not found is a one-stop-shop on the Apple site that says which iCloud facilities are supposed to work with cellular/3G networks and which not. Can you point us to such a list?
Regarding our own problem: the missing link appears to be the download of new entries from the cloud to either of the Macs, the Mac being connected to the internet via 3G. For example a new calendar appointment entered on the Mac duly appears on the iPhone; but a new appointment entered on the iPhone fails to appear on the Mac. (If it is re-entered on the Mac, it gets duplicated on the iPhone.) Checking the iCloud website show that a new iPhone appointment is getting as far as the cloud; but apparently no further.
I think you'll agree that this makes iCloud calendar syncing next to useless.
This may not (as you imply) be caused by the use of the 3G connection. However in the two households in our family we have one with wi-fi and essentially the same setup, except that the iPhone is a 3GS. In the wi-fi setup, a new appointment entered on the iPhone calendar promptly shows up on a Mac.
If the sync problem has nothing to do with the mode of internet connection, how might it be cured? -
After putting phone into DFU mode and attempting to restore and update the phone, at the end, an error message came up saying: "the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)."
How do I go about fixing this problem. I need to get my phone out of this (connect to itunes) mode. Everything I've tried does not work ! By the way, I have the latest version of itunes .. (iTunes 11)Error 1 basically means you need to try two more times, and if the issue remains unresolved, contact Apple Support.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors - Support - Apple
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
