how much does apple store charge for unlock iphone by online

While it is very possible that the OP was misunderstood, the thread was started 5-years ago in 2012. The OP never returned to the thread to verify the information provided, or provide additional explanation. Your statement about subsidized phones is no longer pertinent, since most providers here in the US have stopped selling subsidized phones, so you no longer agree to contracts with subsidized phones. You pay the same price as you do with phones purchased from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller. The use of incapable is a little strong don't you think, considering the syntax of the OP's question was not written in plain English, so it was interpreted as written, to imply the OP was looking for Apple to unlock a phone with an online request.

The answer has not changed in the 5 years that this thread

has been inactive.

Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can

unlock it. Contact your current wireless provider to see if

they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

I feel that everybody misunderstood your question. i don’t yet see how to go online in the apple store to order an unlocked iPhone but you can pay the full price for an unlocked iPhone in just about every country when they become available. I did so for the first iPhone when I was in Kuwait and I did so in the apple store in the USA for the 4S. Too many Americans are tricked into thinking they have to pay for a 2 year contact with service included and an iPhone of their choice will cost a couple or a few hundred dollars. if those Americans add the cost of the iPhone plus the 2 year contract they will notice just how much money they were tricked into paying for a ”Locked,” iphone really cost them. The actual price of buying an unlocked iPhone ranges according to the installed memory (fixed) and and the model year it became available. Which is usually about $650/750/850 and climbing this year to about 1000 and higher. This explains why they are incapable of even understanding your question.

The only entity that can authorize an unlock is the cell carrier to whom your iPhone is locked. Contact your carrier and inquire about unlocking services and the cost, if any.

Apple does not unlock the phones, it is the responsibility of the provider the phone is locked to to provide that service. They are the ones that authorize the unlock. Some charge a fee, some don't, and providers in the US do not unlock the iPhone, period.

Apple does NOT unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Fees and requirements vary by carrier.

You can find a list of supported carriers here along with details as to which ones offer unlocking and links to their support websites.
