Good news for people who hate carrier contracts and have a thousand bucks to spend on a phone: Apple now sells a SIM-free version of the iPhone X. 。

This model is the same as other iPhone X variants but it's unlocked, meaning you're free to use it on whichever network you prefer. It supports both GSM and CDMA networks, which is important for frequent travelers. 。
