Iphone 5 unlocked for the US?

When will the iphone 5 unlocked version become available for preorder or buy for the US. You already offer it for Canada and possible others.?

Nobody knows the unlocked 5 release date in US untill now, but what about making a little expectation.
Apple usually launches iPhones on Fridays and the 4S launch date (14 October) was in the second Friday after the announcment (4 October) and the same scenario occurred for the 5 (Friday 21 Sep after announcment in 12 Sep).
then the unlocked 4S version shipped in US in the fourth Friday after the launch (11 Nov)
so the unlocked 5 will most probably be available on Friday 19 October.

How do i tell if my iphone is unlocked for the US?

hi there
my husband has one of the old original Iphones that was purchased in the US back in 2007, it was brought into australia before they were available here and it was patched somehow so that he could use it here. he no longer uses it as we both have the newer models, his is the 16gb and mine is the 32gb, i will be in te US again in 2 weeks and i believe i will be unable to use my current iphone purchased in Aust, but i wonder if i might be able to use the original Iphone that was originally purchased there and just by a prepaid AT&T sim card if these are available? just trying to figure out how to tell if it's unlocked though?

Since all of the Australian carriers offer official unlocking, why don't you just get your current iphone unlocked? The original iphone you have was hacked to unlock it so it could be used where you live. Since it was originally locked to AT&T, it should work fine in the US. However, any attempt to update software or restore your original iphone will re-lock it to AT&T.
The real problem you'll run into in trying to use your iphone in the US is that AT&T has disabled data on all of its pre-paid sims for the iphone. That means you'll get voice, but no data. The only other GSM provider in the US is T-Mobile, but their 3G network is not compatible with the iphone. While you'll get both voice & data with T-Mobile, data will only be available on their Edge network, & their coverage is significantly less than AT&T's.

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone?

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem? tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
Any ideas what to do?

I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

I recently got my iPhone 5 unlocked and the other day I updated my phone to ios 7. After doing so my phone shut off and turned on and it said I had no service. I guess it completely wiped out my unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do!

How, EXACTLY, did you get it "unlocked"? ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack.
You can not get help here for a hacked phone.

Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely in France with Freemobile ?

Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely into France with Freemobile (which provides micro-SIM) ?
I'm travelling to NYC tomorrow and that would be 100€ less than in France...

Thank you for the quick answer
Do you mean that I can't reserve and pick up my phone in the local apple store as it's explained on the site (http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/) ?
What about the social security number asked in the formulary ? I've got a French one...

When Apple will release iPhone 6 unlocked in the US?

when Apple will release iPhone 6 unlocked in the US?
Loyal apple customers will switch to Samsung or HTC while these companies sell the devices unlocked.
only in the US the new iPhones are locked while they are sold unlock in the whole world.

This is not a chat room. It is a forum for iPhone users to help others with hardware problems. We have no idea when Apple will do anything, until they do it.

HT4623 I was given an iphone 4 (unlocked) in the UK, but despite my service provider changing the sim it will not connect to the network here in Australia. Any ideas on what the problem is?

I was given an iphone 4 (unlocked) in the UK, but despite my service provider changing the sim I'm still getting no service. Is ther something else that could be locked to a UK network on the phone? Cheers, Ray.

Expanding on what Tim said to make sure it's clear, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. If Optus is the original carrier, as would seem to be the case, O2 would not be able to unlock it. Only Optus can authorize the unlock, so you'll need to contact them. They say, though, that only the account holder can apply for unlocking, so you might not be able to get it unlocked and will have to work through the person from whom you bought the iPhone.
For more information, see the Optus FAQ on unlocking.

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

AIrplay is not supported on 1st gen, I assume you have a 2nd gen (black box). Not all apps are enabled for AirPlay, this would be up to the developers to do

Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

Hello! Just connected a used iPhone to iTunes for the first time. I'm trying to restore it to factory settings/default. The phone is connected via Wi-Fi and is updated to the most recent OS that the phone allows. The computer is also connected to the internet. But I still get the error: "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." I also connected via iTunes and authorized the computer, but still have the same issue. Really, all I need to do is completely wipe the phone and start from scratch for safety's sake.
Help?
