Apple has started selling contract-free iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in retail stores and online completely unlocked. While it was previously possible to get an unlocked new iPhone without a SIM card, it was tied to T-Mobile and the customer had to call the carrier in order to deactivate it. But now, there's now need for that as Apple is selling the newest iPhones completely unlocked and SIM-free.
The pricing remains the same, with the 16 GB base model iPhone 6 costing $649 and the iPhone 6 Plus starting at $749. Unlocked iPhones can be activated for use on any carrier - AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile. So, now, if you plan to travel to a distant country, you can take your new iPhone with you and use whichever SIM you like to.
