| Unlocked Apple iPhone 4S to be available in November Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:53 AM PDT  If you woke up early this morning in hope of purchasing an Apple iPhone 4S and wanted to get an unlocked version, you were out of luck, as Apple is only offering locked versions for AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint at the current time. However, if you have some patience, Apple has revealed that unlocked versions of the iPhone 4S will begin shipping in November. The unlocked model will only work with AT&T in the U.S., but it can be used with overseas carriers that support GSM/UMTS networks. Cost for the unlocked version is the same as full retail pricing, with the 16GB model costing $649, and the 32GB and 64GB versions totaling $749 and $849, respectively. Read the full story here.
