Does Apple sell the iPhone 6 unlocked?

Hi: I'm interested in buying an unlocked iPhone 6. I wondered if anyone has been able to do so from Apple directly?  I'm in the US, home of locked telco contracts, but prefer to have an unlocked phone so it's more convenient in my international travels. Can one buy from Apple an unlocked phone?
I checked with AT&T and they will sell you the iPhone 6 but won't unlock for you for a year from the purchase date. I guess that's to punish you for the notion of wanting to have a bit of freedom from their overarching grasp
Thanks,
Phil

Kappy: my remark that you characterised as 'silly' is hardly that. AT&T is charging me over $900 when the monthly payments for the handset are tallied up. I looked online, at least within the US, and that's still slightly better than the $1100+ I was seeing for an iPhone 6 on Amazon and a few other sites (note this is for a fully memory configured phone not the 32MB version).  So yes there is a modest subsidy, but no it's not $99, at least from AT&T.
I know that is some benefit, but you have to admit it's not much.
I appreciate your suggestion about T-mobile. They do seem to be the most aligned with more contemporary currents of openness and enabling the customer's value proposition while serving their needs to return value to their shareholders.  Unfortunately  for me, one of the areas that parts of my extended family lives in doesn't have great T-mobile coverage (at least not at the moment). Hence, I ended up with AT&T and their willingness to unlock the phone not in 40 days, but 365 days.
Thanks to everyone for the assistance. Very helpful.
Cheers,
Phil

    Hi Everone,
      Don't want to waste anyones time, but I have search the Apple site and maybe I over looked it but I can't find refurbish iphones anywhere on their site to buy? I am new to Apple and would really like an iphone, does Apple sell refurbish iphones or do I need to buy it somewhere else like ebay? Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time.

    I think they have in the past but doesn't look like they have any now... http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals
    Sometimes carriers offer refurb iPhones.  Check with your carrier but read the warranty info closely.

    do apple sell the codes to unlock your phone? if so how much?  ive been going round in circles on here now t, thanks

    when you buy a sim locked phone you don't pay the full price of the phone
    the carrrier pay most of the price because you haveing your phone locked to their network for a period of time make it possible for them to make up for the loss of them paying most of the price of the phone
    if the phone manufactor went back on their sim lock and sold unlocks on the side they would be in violation of that agreement between the phone manufactor and the carrier and would be sued for alot! of money

  • Does apple sell the back cover for iphone 5?

    As we all know the iphone 5 back cover is made of aluminum and how easily it's edges can get scratched....
    now if i don't like protective covers and I am willing to invest in replacing the back cover after a while with an original one, can I purchase it from apple?

    Apple does not sell any iPhone parts. 3rd party suppliers like iFixit.com would be your best bet, but will void any warranty you may have.

  • Does apple sell the US Model iPhone 5S in the UK apple stores?

    So I'm going to the UK for a few months and I was wondering if apple sold the US model iPhone in their UK stores?
    Thanks.

    Well no, of course they don't.  If you are going to the UK for a few months, then buy an iPhone in the UK for use over there or if you have an unlocked iPhone from the US, then you can use it in the UK with local sim cards for the length of time that you are over there - you will definitely be able to get a signal on UK 3G, but with a US iPhone, you will not be able to benefit from 4G in the UK because the frequencies are different.
    If you have a US iPhone that is locked to a carrier, then you can use international roaming charges.
    Buy a new phone for use in the UK, but no, the UK Apple store stocks iPhone models that work in the UK and not the US.

  • Does Apple sell the plastic film that comes with the iPhone when you first open it?

    You know when you first buy an Apple product like the iPhone 4 or 4S it has those two pieces of protective film covering it? I want to buy those exact ones I like the way they look, I dont want any other suggestions, I want those same exact ones. Does anyone know where to get those or how I would be able to contact Apple to ask where I would be able to purchase those? Please let me know asap. Thank you very much.

    Those are not screen protectors. Furthermore, they cover the speaker and camera so you wouldn't be able to take a picture very well or hear anything, as they are not designed to be used as screen protectors.

  • Does apple sell OEM iphone 4s battery?

    have done some searching and I cant find anything like this on the apple stores (useless) website.   I don't want to get a low quality battery and I'm not ready to change phones yet.  I (somewhat) trust that apple will sell a good battery instead of 1000's of other choices that will last only a few weeks.   my orig batt is 2.5 yrs old
    thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts nor are there any user serviceable
    components in an iPhone. Apple does offer battery replacement
    in some countries. Contact Apple for your location to find out the details and
    cost involved. If you can get to a physical Apple store, replacement can be done
    on the spot. Make an appointment before going to avoid delay.

  • How does Apple produce the iPhone demo videos?

    Anyone who knows how Apple produce their iPhone demo videos (iPhone + hands)? Greenscreen or filmed realtime on the phone´s screen? I´m going to produce a demo video (Apple App) so any tips are welcome!

    Yes to each technique. Each is used where appropriate or necessary to pull off the illusion of clarity and performance. Those are illusions and simulations designed to sell iPhones and iPads, they do not represent real world conditions or response or display.
    So you get to do whatever you want. But for the most part, the screen image is placed into the shot of the device. Affecting a seamless chromakey into the screen reuires careful planning, tests, and superior acquisition tools. You wont' be able to do the same work using DV or a GoPro.
    I've seen this question asked many times on forums for effects software like After Effects. The answer usually comes down to this: Are you selling your app or are you selling iPhones? If you're selling the app, figure out how to spend as little time as possible trying to make it look good on the phone. If making it look good on the phone is crucial to your sales effort, hire the necessary equipment and technical talent to do it properly and, if you are a good study, let them teach you how to do it next time.
