This morning, Apple began selling factory unlocked GSM Apple iPhone 4 models directly on the online Apple Store in the US, the first time that Apple has openly sold factory unlocked iPhone models in the US since the 2007 launch of the iPhone. Before today Apple typically limited factory unlocked iPhone 4 sales to select international markets in order to comply with local laws and regulations regarding unlocked phone sales and limited iPhone sales to carrier models, forcing customers seeking factory unlocked iPhones to pay inflated prices for unlocked international models. Pricing for the unlocked models is set at $649.99 for the 16GB model and $749.99 for the 32GB model.
