Heads up to those of you who have been waiting for SIM-free iPhone 6s and 6s Plus handsets. As noted by MacRumors, Apple on Thursday night began offering SIM-free models of its latest smartphones via its web store.
While you could previously buy the iPhone 6s at full retail, they have, until now, included carrier-specific SIM cards. These new models, as the name suggests, do not include any kind of SIM card, meaning they are unlocked.
From Apple's website:
Apple has been selling unlocked iPhones right from September 25 — the day when the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus went on sale in the United States — but this is the first time that it has started selling SIM-free variants of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

From Apple's website:
The SIM-free iPhone comes without a wireless contract commitment or carrier financing. It doesn’t come with a nano-SIM card for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or iPhone 5s. And because it’s unlocked, it isn’t tied to one carrier, so you can get a nano-SIM from any supported carrier worldwide, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint in the United States.SIM-free iPhone 6s carriers the model number A1633, while the iPhone 6s Plus is labeled as A1534.
