Get an Unlocked iPhone 4S in November

Want an iPhone 4S, but don't want to be stuck in a contract for the next two years of your life?

Want an iPhone 4S, but don't want to be stuck in a contract for the next two years of your life? You're in luck. Apple's iPhone 4S product page shows that you'll have the option of grabbing an unlocked iPhone 4S in November.

You can choose from all three available models — 16GB ($649), 32GB ($749), and 64GB ($849) — but there's one catch: the unlocked versions only come with a GSM chip, which means you're tied to AT&T or T-Mobile (Verizon and Sprint use CDMA) in the US, but are free to use other GSM wireless providers across the globe as well without a contract. World travelers, this one's for you.
