Apple starts selling SIM-free iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units
So, the iPhone 6 sales are starting to slow down a bit, which is expected, as the market gets saturated, and demand started to even out with supply. Cupertinians figured that this would be the perfect time to start selling its new handsets SIM-free, which may be something that a lot of users have been holding out for so far.
Since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were launched back in September, the only way one could buy one of the new Apple handsets in the US was by either signing / renewing a contract with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, which would naturally mean that the iPhone would be locked to the respective network, or grab an unlocked handset, but with a T-Mobile card inside. While the latter is not a major inconvenience for the ones who crave a larger-screened iOS handheld, some customers would certainly rather not bother.
Well, you can now buy a SIM-free iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus directly from Apple, and the prices are the same as they were with the T-Mo unlocked variants:
| 16 GB | 64 GB | 128 GB | |
| iPhone 6 | $649 | $749 | $849 |
| iPhone 6 Plus | $749 | $849 | $949 |
