Although the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have been on sale since September, the new phones have always been connected to a carrier somehwhow in the US. Well not anymore, you can now buy the two phones unlocked in the US for the first time.
While getting them unlocked was the only way to get the phones from the Apple Online Store in many other countries like the UK for example, Americans have always had to purchase them connected to a carrier in some way. Practically every network offered the phones with a plan, and you could only visit T-Mobile to actually purchase the handset without a contract, but now they can be bought free of those pesky mobile network ties.
The 6 starts at $649 and the 6 Plus at $749 and can be purchased in-store or online at store.apple.com.
