According to 9to5Mac, Apple stores now have the ability to unlock iPhones when they sell them. If the store is running low on officially unlocked handsets, they can now take an AT&T handset and just chose to unlock it, tripling the price, but getting you out from underneath AT&T’s yoke.
While right now it only looks like they’ll do this at the point of sale, I hope this indicates that the near future will see them transitioning to unlocking phones they’ve already sold. If my mandatory contract with AT&T is over, I don’t see why they wouldn’t unlock my iPhone if I asked nicely…
