How much does iPhone unlock cost?

T-Mobile GmbH will sell unlocked iPhones for $1,482, the German mobile carrier said today, marking the first time Apple Inc.'s smart phone has been officially available unlocked.

In a statement today, T-Mobile said it would immediately start selling unlocked iPhones, and unlock any already-purchased iPhone for no charge. It made both moves in response to a preliminary ruling Monday in a lawsuit brought by Vodafone Group PLC's subsidiary, Vodafone Germany. According to the injunction, which T-Mobile is appealing, Apple's wireless partner must offer the iPhone without a required 24-month contract.
