APPLE SELLS UNLOCKED IPHONES IN HONG KONG

September 28, 2008
The Times of India
Apple has started selling unlocked models of its popular iPhone 3G in Hong Kong, which allow users the freedom to select the telecoms provider of their choice. Apple said the phone can be activated with any wireless carrier. The move is a shift from Apple’s previous strategy of tying the phone exclusively to a single mobile operator in each country or territory. As you can imagine, the unlocked sans-contract version of the iPhone 3G comes at a premium over the subsidized with-contract version that we get here. The 8GB and 16GB sell for about $700 and $800, respectively, pricing it at around the same range as an unlocked HTC Touch Diamond.
