When will officially unlocked iphones be available (LTE issue)

I know iphones are unlocked now.  And from what I understand you can go into an Apple store and get a contract-free iphone6 which would work in other countries.  But I heard/read somewhere that although that was the case, these 'unofficially unlocked iphones' would have an issue where they could only connect via 4G and NOT via LTE in other countries' cellular networks.  Apple was said to be getting ready to release 'truly unlocked' iphones that would work on 4G & LTE in any country.
Does anyone know when that will be?

The N900 just had its soft launch last week, so it should be hitting the shelves pretty soon. Plus it's already listed on Nokia Malaysia's site.

    Yes.
    Tim is correct. If purchased from an Apple store it will be fully unlocked. If purchased from a T-Mobile store or other partner store that is not an Apple Store it will be locked to T-Mobile.
    In other words do not buy it directly from T-Mobile. Buy it from an Apple Store.

    If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed .... When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier
    That means its unlocked.

    when will the unlocked iphone5 be available?

    You can find unlocked iphone 5's at any Retail Store. I've just got mine from the store by 5th avenue 3 days ago.

  • When will the unlocked iphone 5 be available in the US store?

    i was wondering when will the UNLOCKED iPhone 5 be available in the US store...
    i found some UNLOCKED iPhones in the UK but they are so expensive.

    I don't believe Apple has announced this.
    An unlocked iPhone is expensive regardless. VAT is included with the sales price in the UK and the advertised price in the US does not include sales tax with the sales tax rate fluctuating depending on which city and state the iPhone is purchased. The sales tax rate where I live is 8.25%.

    Unless Apple has changed their policy, no.

  • WHEN WILL THE NEW IPHONE BE AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE PURCHASE?

    Ordered the first iphone on-line and want to order the new one the same way. When will the new model be available for on-line purchase?

    Maybe never, but doubtful anyone here has any idea before Apple makes an announcement.
    We can thank the hackers and those more interested in making a few bucks by selling non-activated iPhones via eBay.

  • When will Factory unlock iPhone 5 come out?

    Anyone know when will the factory unlocked iPhone 5 release?

    Last year iPhone 4s was announced Oct 4, and factory unlocked sales started Nov 11 (I ordered mine then and got it right before Thanksgiving). So I'd guess in a month or two, but who knows if they'll treat it differently given the multiple models for LTE.
    deggie is of course spot on.

  • Will officially unlocked iphone get relocked after os4 update????

    hi i bought the iphone 3gs in Australia for a 2 year contract with 3mobile and it was officially unlocked by 3 mobile upon my request... now i am in India for a business tour and will stay for another six months.i am using a different carrier in India my question is will my iphone get relocked if i go for a ios4 update...as i said before it was officially unlocked by 3mobile....looking for a positive answer.....thanks in advance

    It shouldn't - not if the iPhone is officially unlocked, with this info requested and provided by 3Mobile to Apple which allowed you to unlock the iPhone with iTunes in the first place.
    This definitely happens when installing a firmware update on an iPhone that has been hacked to be unlocked or that is unofficially unlocked.

    Assuming you are referring to the US, no one knows for sure but probably 4 to 6 weeks after the release of the iPhone 5 for the same price as the 4s.

  • When the international unlocked iphone 5s will be released in boston ?

    When the international unlocked iphone 5s will be released in boston ????

    There is no such thing as "an international unlocked iPhone". The only 5s model sold in the US is the A1533. There is an unlocked version, which is the same as the t-mobile version.
    Call the Apple store(s) in Boston. Nobody on this forum would know.

  • When the unlock iphone 5 come out, will the unlock iphone 4 price drop down?

    when the unlock iphone 5 come out, will the unlock iphone 4 price drop down?

    We can't speak for Apple, but I highly doubt that there will be further price drops to the iPhone 4, not just because of the release of the unlocked iPhone 5, anyway.

    Good Evening, I would like to know from that day Apple will sell unlocked iPhone 5?

    There is no such information currently available because Apple is not currently selling unlocked iPhones 5s anywhere. When they announce that information then you will know along with the rest of us users here.
