Is iphone 5s 16gb available in factory unlocked version in USA?

is iphone 5s 16gb available in factory unlocked version in USA

As Chris says. while the phone will work in India some features such as LTE connectivity may not work.
As to the differences, there is only one unlocked iPhone for sale form the Apple store. The T-Mobile version.
It is contract free and unlocked. But only if you buy it from Apple.  If you buy it from a T-Mobile store it will be locked.
Also I'll repeat what Chris said:  The warranty will only be valid in the US. so if you have any issues with the phone you won't be able to get it fixed or exchanged anywhere but the US.

  • If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

    If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

    I have looked around here. And I've actually in person helped a number of people clear a jailbreak from an iPhone and they work fine. The OPs biggest hurdle is likely to be the process of obtaining an unlock from the cell provider.
    The mistake many people make is waiting to Restore until the unlock is approved. They should Restore prior to even getting the unlock approval then do it again after they receive it.
    As most people know who have been here awhile we see the ones who have problems, not the ones who have successfully done the process.
    If you go by ASC noone would ever buy an iDevice.

  • What's the last version of IOS I can download on my iphone 3gs? (it is factory unlocked)

    what's the last version of IOS I can download on my iphone 3gs? (it is factory unlocked)

    Some App developers keep older versions around for download.
    You will need to download the App to iTunes on a computer first.
    With that done you can follow these steps to get a compatible version:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

  • Can somebody tell me whether iphone 5S model A1453 comes factory unlocked or not ?

    Hello there , i just want to confirm that whetgher iphone 5S model A1453 comes FACTORY UNLOCKED or not ?

    Hi,
    See  this http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If after a restore the iPhone was activated with idea sim, in all probability it is FUL. As there are only two supported carriers in India, Airtel and Aircel.
    From the support doc it would be evident that you bought a different iPhone model which is not marketed in India.
    You may be able to get all services here except LTE which is locked to any one of the listed for the model and selling US carrier.

  • IPhone 4s shipping date for the unlocked version

    iPhone 4s shipping date for the unlocked version seems to be stable at 1-2 weeks for at least the past two months now. Is there a shipping date in sight? Would be great to know, since I would love to give it as a present.

    My experience has been that all anyone you can reach at Apple could tell you would be the same information shown in the web site. So the estimate of shipping within one to two weeks from time of order is probably as precise an estimate as you're going to get.
    Regards.

  • When apple will release iphone 6 unlocked version at usa states ?

    when apple will release iphone 6 & 6 plus unlocked version at usa states ?

    Historically I believe its been 2-4 months after the release of the provider locked versions. You just have to be patient. Personally I am also waiting for Apple to release a truly unlocked device before I upgrade one of our iPhones.

  • My iphone 4s supposed to be factory unlocked but i am unable to use local sim

    I bought my 4s one month ago from usa and i asked to be factory unlocked as i will use it when returning from usa to my country lebanon, unfortunately i came back and i inserted my local 3g sim and my phone show message "need activation" , all applications work fine..
    In settings i found a usa number under my own number and a usa carrier "Verizon" instead of my local carrier... Can anybody help me to solve this issue??? Thank you in advance

    Verizon does not include a SIM in their phones as they are a CDMA network.
    If your carrier says Verizon, then you have a LOCKED iphone.  You can continue to argue this point buy you have been provided with the following information:
    1) JUST BE CAUSE A PHONE IS PURCHASED AT A NO CONTRACT PRICE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S UNLOCKED
    2) NO UNLOCKED PHONE WOULD COME WITH A US PHONE NUMBER AND LISTING VERIZON AS ITS CARRIER
    3) THE UNLOCKED IPHONE 4S HASN'T BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR SALE YET OTHER THAN ONLINE.  YOU DIDN'T PURCHASE YOURS ONLINE--THEREFORE YOUR IPHONE IS NOT UNLOCKED.
    As Allan has said, return the phone to the US for credit if you're within 30 days of purchase.  Or sell it.  That phone will never be of use to you where you live.

  • Can i use a GSM sim on a CDMA iPhone 4S after a CDMA factory unlock?

    I just got an iPhone 4S as a gift from my cousin in Canada. Upon trying to get a factory unlock for it i was informed that it is a CDMA phone. If unlocked can i use a GSM sim with it? Am in South Africa.

    There is no way to "unlock" a CDMA iPhone. Only the sim slot can be officially unlocked, and that can only be authorized by the carrier the phone is locked to. None of the Canadian carriers will authorize such unless you are a current/former customer who used the phone on their network...obviously, not you. Thus, there is no way for you to get the sim slot unlocked. Send it back to your cousin & have him/her get the sim slot unlocked.

  • Iphone 3gs wont activate, Bought factory unlocked

    Hello everyone
    I bought my phone from a retailer in New Zealand called 1-day, they were selling refurbised iphones that are factory unlocked.
    By the box it would appear that it is from AT&T in america and so should be a proper factory unlock as from researching how to fix my phone i noticed that they do unlock there phones.
    Itunes told me that i could update my phone so i decided to because i figured why not, I now get the seemingly common screen when i try to activate telling me that the activation server is down.
    I have already sent an email to the retailer asking them about this but i figured i should try asking the community as well.
    Thank you for your time.

    Sounds like the reseller a) is not an authorized reseller, and b) lied.
    Get your money back and buy from a legitimate source.

  • IPhone 4 factory unlocked replaced in USA. Will Apple replace it with a locked one?

    Hey guys,
    I bought my girlfriend a factory unlocked iPhone 4 from Canada for Christmas last year and few days ago somehow her phone won't charge anymore. I told her to try and get it checked out by an Apple specialist. She ended up sending the phone over to an Apple Care Center in her local area (MI), got an email in return showing her the progress status and all. Much to our surprise, Apple replaced her with a brand new iPhone 4 within 24 hours.
    Here's the problem. She just tried to get it set up but the phone says no service and she can't hook it up to her iTunes to activate anything. She called up Apple again and their suggestion was to get her to download the latest iTunes and to try syncing it again. She just did that and it still doesn't work. My suspicion right now is the local center might have replaced her with a locked phone 4 but then again, i'm not familiar with the whole carrier locking system in the US so i'm not entirely sure if i'm right.
    Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated. Anyone ever experienced the same problem or know for sure that she has been replaced with a locked iPhone 4?

    Do you have receipt that you bought your previous phone in Canada? If so, go back to apple store in Michigan, and perhaps they will replace it. Otherwise, you pro ably should have returned it to the store in Canada. You best bet is to call apple and see if they can come up with a solution.

  • IPhone 4 cant get a factory unlock

    I bought this iphone on craigslist and am currently using it, I plan on traveling to the Philippines for a few months and wanted to unlock my iphone so I could use it over there, I called AT&T to see if they could unlock it, all I had to do was give them the emei number and wait 72 hours and restore the iphone with itunes, it sounded easy but it did not work.
    after restoring the iphone there was a msg on itunes saying congratulations your iphone is unlocked, I was so happy to see this,but after setting up the iphone i find out that it is still locked, at this piont I made sure that I was running the latest verssion of itunes next I did a reset on the iphone befor restoring it, than I did the dfu restore where you hold both the home and power button then after ten seconds releasing the power button, with the same results,
    I am very frustrated and would like some help

    You do not.
    There are no officially unlocked iPhones available in the US.
    All GSM iPhones are carrier locked to AT&T.
    All CDMA iPhones are carrier locked to Verizon.
    Neither AT&T, Verizon, or Apple will unlock US sold iPhones under any circumstances.
    In the future, try a search.  This has been asked and answered a few billion times.
