Buying a factory unlocked iPhone 5s in the Apple store?

I live in Ireland but I'll be visiting Boston in February. I was wondering if I can buy a factory unlocked iPhone 5s in store without having to order online. Also, I've seen a lot of opposing agruments about whether or not "unlocked" T-Mobile iPhones are actually unlocked. If they've worked for anybody please let me know, thanks.

However; Apple cannot promise that the LTE bands will work in Ireland for your device.
We cannot make promises; or say it will...We can only state that the bands /MAY/ work. And again your warrenty cannot be carried out OOW or in warrenty in your country

    If T-Mobile in the US, while your phone will activate/work, you won't have FaceTime, MMS or 3G. T-Mobile, in the US, is not a supported iPhone carrier, thus all features of the iPhone may not be available. T-Mobile's 3G network, in the US, is not compatible with the iPhone.

  • Are unlocked iphones sold in the apple store factory unlocked?

    are unlocked iphones sold in the apple store factory unlocked?

    Yeah just tested it, change the tmobile to iPhone tarrif and it's unlocked. So Peter was right it is unlocked if you buy from the Apple store. Plus I thought it would be unlocked just needed conformation, like I said the sales guy said it is unlocked to all networks.
    Thanks everyone.

  • Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

    Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

    No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.
    Regards.

    i want to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s from US ,will it work in india

    Unlocked iPhone 4S's are not yet generally available at retail in the U.S. Currently, the only official way to get one is order from the US online Apple store. This will require a US credit card with a valid US billing/shipping address.

  • Buying a factory unlocked iphone

    hi!
    can i buy a factory unlocked iphone in cash?
    cause i've heard you must pay it by credit card...(i'm not from UEA)
    thanks

    Depends on where you are... I see no reason why you could not.
    I do not believe Apple has announced availability of unlocked iPhone 5s in any market as of yet.

  • I have a factory unlock iphone 5 with the lasted version. Since yesterday my sim card stopped working and now says `No Sim`, was working fine and stopped working now, other sim works but just not mine. ¿What can be happening?

    I thought that, but I put the sim card in another device that is not Apple and works. Definitely the sim card work, but no longer in my iPhone 5 or maybe in any other Apple device, i dont know why!! But i gonna get a replacement to see what happen

  • Are there unlocked iPhone 4S in the retail stores?

    Hi. I live in WA, and my unlocked iPhone 4s I ordered online, but I need another one also. When I was in LA my friend went to the retail store and bought one without staying in a crazy-long line. I'm going to Portland, OR, and the OR state doesn't has a sell-taxes. So, I wonder, are there unlocked iPhone 4s in not-huge apple retail stores as in Portland? And I also heard that there are only black iPhones  are sold in retail stores. Is it true (my friend wanted black one so he didn't asked are there white)? So I don't really want to track 2 weeks my iPhone and want to buy it in retail store.

    You can only buy an unlocked iPhone from an official apple store or at apple.com.

    I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012.  I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

  • I bought att-locked but contract-free iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the mall

    Over 9 months ago i bought att-locked but contract-free iPhone 4 from the Apple Store in the mall.
    Now i live in Costa Rica so my question is can it be unlocked?

    You CANNOT legitmately unlock the AT&T iphone at all.
    AT&T does NOT unlocl any iphones at all.
    They clearly state this on their website.
    "iPhone cannot be unlocked, even if you are out of contract."

  • I bought an iphone 4s from the apple store in HK, the model of the phone is A1387. Would it work if I use a sim-card using CDMA EV-DO Rev. A technique?

    I bought an iphone 4s from the apple store in HK, the model of the phone is A1387. Would it work if I use a sim-card using CDMA EV-DO Rev. A technique?

    Based on this issue, I have contacted Rogers. The procedure was very time consuming as I spent over 4 hours on the phone with multiple service reps, supervisors, and managers. This has cost me over $40 in long distance charges just for this phone call. In addition, they made me aware that I was sold an iPhone 4s that was locked to Rogers. Rogers charged me $57 for this unlock, and they said they could not waive this fee because it goes through apple. The typical procedure when apple sells locked phones, is that a replacement phone would be given to me free of charge by apple. I just do not understand why the service rep told me that the phone was unlocked, when actually the supervisor at Rogers confirmed that this device was originally locked to Rogers (traced from imei). I deserve compensation, and would like to hear a prompt response from apple with regards to this matter.
