You Can Now Purchase an Unlocked iPhone X Without Carrier Activation From the Apple Online Store

Apple is now giving customers the option of purchasing a full price, unlocked, and unactivated iPhone X from the online Apple Store.

This means you can order a Verizon iPhone X with a Qualcomm LTE modem rather than AT&T or T-Mobile iPhone X that uses the slower Intel modem.



Previously, it was possible to order an unactivated iPhone from Best Buy; however, the company was charging an additional $100 fee over and above the full price of the device. After customers complained about the outrageous fee, the company pulled the option entirely rather than sell the device at the full price and lose out on some bounty payments from carriers.

To purchase an unactivated iPhone, select your desired model then choose a one-time payment. After clicking the blue continue button you'll be brought to a page where you can select your carrier activation option. Or, you can just click the link below.
