Unlocked iPhones Hit Asia
If I’m not mistaken my radar tells me that it’s already here locally (Philippines). My gadget master friend in Hong Kong told me that unlocked iPhones have been in the HK market for about a month and a half already. It originally came out with a price tag somewhere around USD2000, and dropped to USD1200 now.
You can shave off a hundred dollars by buying from the US and get it unlocked for USD800-USD900. Locked or unlocked, it’s still not economical but a couple of Apple zombies still bought them.
I also found out about this Turbo SIM that disguises your carrier’s SIM as an AT&T SIM. It seems that Bladox stopped selling it. All is not lost though. Thanks to eBay, you can still get one with prices averaging at USD200.
