No. Apple can not. ONLY the carrier can authorize unlocking. Not all do. All iPhones sold in Japan are permanently locked to Softbank. You can not get it legitimately unlocked.
Sell it and purchase an unlocked phone from a country where they are legitimately sold.

  • Can apple unlock an iPhone 4 that was bought from the apple store?

    I bought an iPhone 4 last year from the apple store, my network provider cannot unlock it as I didn't get it through them. Hope someone can help.

    Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process.  In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason. 
    If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked.  If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone.

  • Can apple unlock my iPhone 5s from Verizon

    Can I call apple to unlock my iPhone 5s Verizon version I payed full price from apple store

    This is a little late but I thought I'd add my 2 cents because I worked at Verizon. Verizon will not unlock the phone. It is able to work in other countries on the GSM and 4G LTE bands without an unlock but it won't work in the US because...well because the US carriers don't like eachother. I believe the ATT and Tmobile iPhones are able to be unlocked for use with other carriers within the US.

  • Can ATT unlock an iPhone 5 that is currently being used on Consumer Cellular?

    Hello,
    I currently have an ATT iPhone 5 that is being used on Consumer Cellular. I want to unlock my iPhone so that I can use it on a different carrier. I was wondering if ATT can unlock my iPhone, since Consumer Cellular is a MVNO of ATT.

    You would need to direct that question to AT&T.

  • Can Apple unlock an iPhone 5c?

    Can a sprint iphone 5c be unlocked by apple or not. Can it only be unlocked for international use?

    Apple does not unlock phones at all.  Carriers process requests for unlocking.  Only Sprint can authorize an unlock of a Sprint iPhone, and yes, they only unlock the SIM slot for use with carriers outside of the USA.  In the USA, a Sprint iPhone will only ever work on Sprint's network.
