iphone stuff

by ViQweiL • 26 May 2011, 16:58 • Forums › Technology
Hello crossies.
I had a few questions.

During the hollidays i'm going to the states for 6 weeks. I would like to buy the last model of the Iphone 5 (or 4 white if it's still not released) because it's so much cheaper than in europe. but I would first like to know a few things:

-How much Iphones can i buy there and take to europe?
-Where can i buy Iphones without contract.
-A friend of mine says he can de-simlock the Iphones, is that sill possible (with the new updates and anti-thief programs/updates?)
-Is it possible for me to get in trouble if apple/or whoever finds out?

regards.

It will always be possible to unlock/jailbreak an iPhone, sometimes you'll just have to wait for devcrew/whoever to develop the tool.

Afaik there is a limit for technology you can import (400€ or smth like that) just google

Its not forbidden to jailbreak/unlock you iPhone, its just illegal to develop the tools and mess with apples sourcecodes.

"For those who are not qualified customers, are not eligible for an early upgrade, or wish to buy iPhone as a gift, the prices are $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB). In CA, MA, and RI, sales tax is collected on the unbundled price of iPhone. "


From the Apple website.
