Apple Launches SIM-Free iPhone 7 Sales in the U.S.

Almost one month after the launch of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Apple is finally offering its latest flagship smartphones SIM-free in the U.S. at its retail stores and through Apple.com.

According to the website, the factory unlocked SIM-free iPhone 7 and 7 Plus handsets are not associated with any single carrier and do not include the usual carrier-specific SIM card, which allows buyers to use them with any SIM card from any supporting carrier.
