Which is preferable?
My close relative is in US, who is returning to India very soon.
He enquired about iPhone in US without contract. The Customer Sales Rep kept insisting that even if he buy without contract, he cannot use at other place by any means. Also said that latest iPhone IOS cannot be unlocked like older iPhone models/OS.
Another distant friend is in Singapore, who will return India at later time. He enquired that iPhone is available in singapore factory unlocked with no hassles, but at a higher price than in US.
So, my question is: Is it worth getting it factory unlocked from Singapore at higher price (about 4200INR) from distant friend, or should I get it from US through close relative by assuming that even if Apple Rep says it cannot be unlocked, it can be done and used freely in India?
Is spending 4000 extra rupees to have factory unlocked iPhone and freedom to install apps/upgrade Apple IOS in future worth it ?
Please advice..
