SIM-Free iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Now Available From Apple Online Store

As of this afternoon, Apple has started offering a SIM-free version (http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-7) of the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) and iPhone 7 Plus from its online store in the United States, allowing customers to buy an unlocked iPhone without choosing a carrier.





SIM-free versions of the iPhone 7 Plus in all capacities list shipping estimates of three to four weeks, with the exception of the Jet Black SIM-free iPhone 7 Plus, which lists a shipping estimate of six to eight weeks.





For the iPhone 7, SIM-free models in Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, and Black feature delivery estimates of October 17 to 19, while Jet Black models ship in three to five weeks.

According to Apple, SIM-free models (A1660 and A1661) will work with any carrier and have full support for CDMA and GSM networks, much like the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus devices available from Sprint or Verizon. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models from AT&amp;T and T-Mobile (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/08/att-and-tmobile-iphone-7-models-lack-cdma/) do not support CDMA networks and are not compatible with all carriers.





SIM-free models are not yet available for in-store pickup from the online store, but should be available in the near future as supplies improve. Retail stores will also likely begin offering SIM-free models in the next few days.





SIM-free iPhones must be purchased at full price, with the iPhone 7 starting at $649 and the iPhone 7 Plus starting at $769.
