Unlocked iPhone’s make the world go round. Not official, but some sources are reporting that an unlocked iPhone 5 will be available soon. This would be great news for users with GSM services other than AT&T. [Hint: T-Mobile] The only difference would be the hefty price tag that comes along with it. Hit the jump for pricing…
Apple (AAPL) has already accidentally leaked its unlocked iPhone 5 pricing and now 9to5Mac’s sources say the contract-free smartphones will be available for purchase on the online store as early as Thursday night at 9 p.m. Appleretail stores are reportedly receiving stock for the unlocked iPhone 5 and will begin selling them “soon.” As previously reported, the factory unlocked GSM iPhone 5 handsets will be priced at $649 (16GB), $749 (32GB) and $849 (64GB) and will be available in white/silver and black/slate. Of course, if you didn’t already know, the CDMA iPhone 5 on Verizon (VZ) comes with its nano SIM card already unlocked. 9to5Mac also reports Apple Stores will make a small change to its Personal Pickup program that lets shoppers reserve devices for pickup after 10 p.m. to anytime during the day.
