In a nod to reality, Apple Monday began listing worldwide carriers offering ‘unlocked’ iPhones. Just a year ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs described the struggle between hackers and Cupertino as a “cat-and-mouse game.”

Now the Apple Website includes “Carrier offers authorized unlocking” on a support page.

Nearly 40 of the 105 countries listed offer unlocked iPhones. However, some handsets are unlocked through just one carrier.

    there is a huge difference between a country that requires unlocking and what’s going on in the US which does not.
