Apple is planning to sell SIM-free versions of its latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models across the US, via the company’s physical retail stores and online store.
Presently, the phones are available only through contract, with the unlocked version available on T-Mobile which works using different carriers. However, users in the US cannot technically buy the latest phones SIM-free through official channels in the country.
With the latest move, users will be able to buy iPhone 6 and 6 Plus without a SIM-card which will enable them to use their phones all around the world using a carrier of their choice, reported 9 to 5 Mac.
The price for SIM-free iPhones is expected to the same as that of T-Mobile variants which ranges between $649 and $949 depending upon the screen size and storage capacity.
Apple has already introduced SIM- free version of iPhones in other countries, and in 2012 and 2013 the company sold unlocked version of iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S two months after its initial launch.
