Is there a way to factory unlock my iPhone legally from Apple?

I bought my iPhone in Japan and now I am returning to India. I would like to do this legally. Does apple not support factory unlock at a price?

As is stated on this forum many times a day, Apple cannot unlock an iPhone without the authority of the network to which it is locked.
You need to contact the network in Japan that your iPhone is locked to and ask them if they allow unlocking of their phones, and if so, what the process is.
If they allow it, they will send the unlocking authorisation to Apple and the unlock will be done via iTunes.
Again... Apple cannot do the unlocking without the network giving them permission.

  • When we be able to factory unlock, an iphone 4s from verizon?

    Im From Dominican Republic, and i have a IPhone 4s 32Gb, from verizon USA, but i cant factory unlock.. only the at&t one... when we going to be able to unlock them

    What else did you expect? If you are a Verizon customer in good standing, you can get the SIM slot unlocked. It will work on any GSM network outside of the U.S. If you're not, then there is nothing you can do other than buy a phone you can use.

  • IPhone 5 Factory Unlocked 3rd Party Replacement from Apple

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 5 from Rogers Factory unlocked to make it work with all carriers from a third party vendor. Now I have an issue with a power button, if I retun it to apple will they give me a replacement phone as a Rogers unit or a Factory unlocked unit. Please let me know because this unlock costed me $150 I don't want to unlock another iPhone if apple give me a replaceent as a Rogers phone.
    Thanks, looking forward to your replies

    If the power button issue is a hardware issue, the only option from Apple is to replace it.  Apple does not perform hardware repairs to any iOS device (never has done so) - they replace defective devices instead (and send the turned in one back to Foxconn in China for refurbishment or recycling).
    Apple's strict policy is also to replace a defective iPhone with an exact duplicate one - so if your phone was purchased locked to Rogers, and you did NOT get it unlocked by Rogers, then you will get a Rogers locked iPhone in exchange.
    There is no such thing as a legitimate 3rd party unlocking - only the carrier an iPhone is sold locked to has the authority to officially unlock it.  Anybody else offering "unlocking" services is hacking the firmware, and such activity is not recognized by Apple when replacing defective phones.

  • Is there a way to delete on the iPhone (meaning from left to right)

    Similar to the way you would use the delete button on a PC is there a way to use that same function when drafting messages on the iPhone?
    TIA,
    Shaun

    Sorry, no.  You need to move the cursor and then use the backspace key.  Note that you can tap and hold the text to zoom in and move the cursor.

  • How can i unlock my iphone 4 from apple

    I'm staying in Bangladesh..... I've bought an iphone from a store near pann Station of NY.....I've asked them before buy whether it was unlock or nt...and they said it is unlocked.....After return to my country ...when i entered local sim ..seen it is locked. From the very beginning it's carrier is AT&T which i don't know and basically i didn't handle iphone before.Than i've tried to jail break through several types/times but it won't work..and current situation of my phone is always DFU mode or Showing apple logo....As such i wanted to get a temporary or permanent solution....how it will work...? does apple provide any paid service,,? Pls help me if any body knows abt it.............

    As was mentioned, your only option is to sell it on ebay or return the phone. However, seeing that you have attempted to jailbreak, and something went wrong, which also voids the warranty, so it is likely that your phone can't be returned.
    However, you can still sell it on ebay and get your money back. You may want to mention that the phone is not working. Some people buy them for parts.

  • Is there a way i can restore my iPhone from a backup but everything apart from settings?

    Is there any way i can restore my iphone 4S from a backup after restoring it from factory settings but not applying my previous settings? as parental controls have been added, but passcode is forgotten and i now need to keep all my stuff on the iphone but get rid of parental controls!!

    You can't chose what to include/exclude with a restore, you can restore the whole backup (including settings) or not restore. I'm assuming that the passcode was on the iPhone when you last backed up, in which case (apart from remembering it) the only way to remove the code is to restore back to factory defaults.

  • I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the original sim card in america as i live in ireland is there any way i can unlock ios 5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 ?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.
