Apple doesn't sell unlocked phones ANYWHERE (except France, but that's because of French law).
They have exclusivity deals with service providers that stop them doing it elsewhere
iPhone 4 Giveaway! (Unlocked & International) Win a brand new factory unlocked (GSM) iPhone 4 32GB! This giveaway is open to anyone in the ...
Those who held off on an iPhone 4S purchase until the unlocked version became available can now whip out their credit cards—but it's gonna hurt. Apple began selling unlocked versions of the iPhone 4S via its US online store Friday alongside a handful of international iPhone 4S launches—the phones don't require the typical two-year contract and only work on GSM networks.
The unlocked, contract-free iPhone 4S will cost $649, $749, and $849 respectively for the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions. That's $450 more per device than the carrier-locked versions, but there are plenty of reasons to not want to be tied to a single carrier. As noted by Apple, those who travel abroad regularly and want to use local GSM networks instead of roaming on their US network will benefit the most—just obtain a micro-SIM card from a supported GSM carrier and pop it into the iPhone's micro-SIM slot, and you're set.
(As noted by MacRumors , Apple's retail stores began selling no-contract iPhones immediately after the 4S launch, which also appeared to be unlocked, but the official launch of the unlocked devices was not until today.)
