Why should I buy a SIM-free iPhone on the Apple website?

An unconnected iPhone purchased from the Apple website is unlocked. This means you aren’t tied to a single network provider or a multi-year service contract. You can choose the network and plan that are right for you. Once your new iPhone is activated, it remains unlocked, which means you can use it with any network that provides service for iPhone.

Will my iPhone work worldwide?

All iPhone models are world phones, so you can use them almost anywhere. Whether you are a GSM or CDMA network customer, you can roam internationally on GSM networks in over 200 countries or regions around the world. If you financed your iPhone with your service provider, contact them to verify that you can roam internationally. Availability of 5G and LTE data varies in some countries or regions and depends on carrier support for certain 5G and LTE radio frequencies. Contact your service provider for more information regarding international roaming policies and rates.

Can I return my iPhone?

Yes. If you change your mind and no longer wish to keep your iPhone, you have the option to return it to us. The returned iPhone must be in good condition and in the original packaging, which contains all accessories, manuals and instructions. Returns are subject to Apple’s Sales and Refunds Policy.
