MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has announced that a very promising iPhone 4S unlock is in the works.

Crazy Thanksgiving weekend! Very promising 4S unlock (http://twitpic.com/7kku4t) is in the works (Not i4, just 4S..that's crazy part)

This is excellent news for iPhone 4S users; although it will leave many iPhone 4 owners disappointed.

We'll keep you up to date on the status of the unlock. You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for the latest.

Untethered jailbreak and unlock for 4 and 4S, will there ever be a thing like that? I hope! Guys don't flame me, just asking. Peace!

I hope they do it before I leave for my business travel abroad. I hate paying overpriced international rates. Good luck and more power!

On average most international rates are cheaper than in the US usually with better service. If you want an unlocked phone then you need to buy one and stop depending on others to supply you with a solution that you need.

Also MuscleNerd has been promising an unlock since the iPhone 4 and Sherif Hashim found an exploit for iPhone 4 and we are still waiting. So until we see something, then we will believe they have something.

the bad part is that a lot of people are expecting the iPhone 4 Unlock, if he just jump from 3gs to 4s, then,,,, all the people can use their iPhone as an IPOD...

How about a jailbreak? I don't need an unlock. And every carrier except T-Mobile carries the phone so why are we unlocking it? Jailbreak it.

Because unlock is for Travelers, worldwide users and people who wants to switch companies. Did you think about that? huh, didn't think so. So Stop complaining!!! and be patient. Good things comes for those who wait :-)

Funny how they have a "very promising iPhone 4S unlock" the same weekend that Apple is selling iPhones at discounted prices. Can you say sellouts? Man, I'm glad I have moved on to Android. How do I unlock my HTC Nexus One? By plugging it in and running "fastboot oem unlock" from Command Prompt. Thats it. Simple.

I have to be honest, I love my Iphone 4, but i also tested the galaxy tab and the samsung Ace, and they are good, you have to be open to options and discover new worlds, The Woz (Steve Wozniak, for those who doesn't know him) has also a Nexus and he like it, you can not be that close minded, 8 years ago I was a Nokia Fan, and later I was an HTC, then I tested the Glofish (Chinese phones) HP and back 2 nokia, and then The iphone, and I love it (of course is factory unlock) I test it with gevey and was a pain in the..... Neck... Anyway, the important thing is to be open minded and share good things, not stupid comments

@gus, Great post. Like you, I have no problems embracing technology. You might want to give the Nokia N9 a try. It is a zombie phone but it runs Meego and is surprising fast and reasonably stable. Nokia did a great job even though the phone will not be supported after a few years, but for the moment it is great and fun to use. I still use my iPhone 4S daily but as a side or backup phone the N9 is in my opinion better than anything Android has to offer.

Regardless if dev-team works for apple or not... Apple likes them around..... It's free marketing for Apple! That's including I clarified and mac rumors... If dev-team or geo hits never hit the scene no one would really know what apple is.. Or even got this famous. I only found out about apple from geo hits in the news lol

MrYogi - November 27, 2011 at 9:50pm

Muscle Nerd for the win. It's about time dev-team regains its reputation

Lyxx - November 27, 2011 at 8:41pm

Simon - November 27, 2011 at 7:04pm

Andrew - November 27, 2011 at 5:34pm

Who cares at this stage... I stop following them on twitter and now I get sick of hearing the coming soon or close to it Unlock phones are available retail. Almost all carriers now have the iPhone.

dt - November 27, 2011 at 5:15pm

Found an unlock already. No need for the Dev-Team. Simply pay for an unlocked phone and get over it.

Lyxx - November 27, 2011 at 8:42pm
