Apple has made SIM-free versions of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus available for sale on its web site.
The SIM-free versions differ from the carrier versions only in that they are unlocked and don’t carry any obligations to carriers. Customers can purchase the SIM-free iPhone 7 and 7 Plus and put any SIM card in it.
Carrier financing is not available on SIM-free models, but consumers may use Apple Pay, PayPal, and Apple Store Gift Cards to purchase unlocked iPhones.
Some financing options are available from Apple and its banking partners. The iPhone 7 starts at $649 and the iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769.
