If you are one of the few people who hasn't picked up an iPhone because you don't want "The Man" harshing your calls with his locked iPhones. Plus, you're still dreaming of moving abroad to start your life as a rare-breed chicken farmer. Well, Apple is now making it easier for you to pick a country and a carrier.
Apple has recently added a column to their support page listing carriers who are authorized to unlock iPhones. There is an easy to ready check mark by each company that does so. The page is also lists which companies are selling locked iPhones which means you're still tied to a single carrier, but it will possibly reduce the costs of the iPhone and monthly fees.
Some countries like Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay offer unlocked phones on all carriers, while other countries like Brazil, Portugal, and India only have some carriers who unlock your phone. Either way, farming rare-breed chickens in any of these countries would be very close to our idea of paradise... chickens live on beaches right?
