Hi Does anyone know if you can buy an iPhone SIM free (and duty free ideally) coming back via JFK airport? My son is returning next week. Chris

You cannot buy iPhones (new) in the states without a contract. Even the US Apple website makes you pick a network, as oppose to the Apple IE shop that is not network specific.
