Want an iPhone 7,Secret Confessions (2025) Wifey's BFF Episode 48 but don't want to be locked into a carrier contract? Now, if you're in the U.S., you can get SIM-free, unlocked versions of the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus from Apple's online store.

Of course, that also means you'll be paying the full price for the device right away, which in this case starts at $649 for the iPhone 7 or $769 for the iPhone 7 Plus.

Buying a SIM-free iPhone 7 does not mean the device cannot be used with a SIM card; it simply means you're free to insert a nano SIM from any carrier and it will work with all of them.

To get an unlocked iPhone 7 (or iPhone 7 Plus), go to Apple's Online Store and choose your desired model. Then, instead of picking a carrier on the left, choose the "SIM-free" version on the right.

The SIM-free versions of the iPhone 7 will ship fast (1-3 business days) in most colors except in Jet Black, which takes 3-5 weeks to ship.

The situation is much worse with the iPhone 7 Plus. For most colors, shipping takes 3-4 weeks; for the Jet Black variant, the shipping time is 6-8 weeks.
