It’s official, Apple is now offering the iPhone unlocked. You can now head out to the local Apple store and purchase your iPhone without a contract at a price of $499 for 8GB, $599 for 16GB and 32GB for $699. A bit on the pricey side, but not unreasonable compared to the Nexus one or other unlocked phones. Engadget has confirmed the availability of the unlocked iPhone at at least 5 stores. Does this mean the end of the exclusivity to AT&T in the near future? Lets hope so…
UPDATE: It appears the first reports of the unlocked iPhones were inaccurate. You can now buy the iPhone without a contract, but it is still locked to AT&T. This is very sad…
