Buy.com seems to be buying iPhones from foreign countries where it hasn’t been locked down to a specific carrier, then selling them in the US for $800.
Too much? That’s up to the market, we suppose. But with the new models coming out soon, that seems like a lot.
The sales description says that these phones work fine with software updates; something software unlocks don’t, but your instructions may come in a language that’s not English. That’s a small price to pay for an unlocked iPhone. A big price to pay? $800.
No word on how long these will last, or where they got these phones from. Odds are Apple will get the message eventually: people are willing to pay for unlocked iPhones, and pay large premiums for them. Maybe its time Apple woke up to this, and consider it as an option for their upcoming line of iPhones.
The odds of this happening: Not good. But we had to say it
