iPhone XS model A1920<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWith the iPhone XS, Apple makes it easy for people to find an unlocked iPhone<\/strong> that works on their wireless carrier. In 2018, Apple introduced only a single unlocked iPhone XS<\/a> model for carriers in the USA: A1920<\/a><\/strong>. Being that there’s only a single unlocked US variant, this makes it dead simple to figure out which unlocked iPhone XS is compatible with your wireless carrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe A1920<\/strong> is the de facto iPhone XS for the US, once sold as the “SIM-free” option by Apple and used for AppleCare replacement devices. This version is fully compatible with all wireless carriers in the US — working on both GSM and CDMA networks — and is the preferred model for anyone living in the states. If you want an unlocked iPhone XS that works with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, the A1920 is your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\niPhone XS model A2091<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile the A1920<\/strong> is the GSM + CDMA model and is fully compatible with any US carrier (including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint), the A2091<\/strong> is Apple’s GSM-only version that has better support for GSM networks (AT&T and T-Mobile) and worldwide carriers<\/strong>, but does not<\/strong><\/em> support CDMA networks like Verizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLack of CDMA support might not be a big deal since most carriers are already in the process of retiring their CDMA networks in favor of 4G LTE, something the A2091 does support. Since Apple didn’t technically sell this model in the states, it’s not even available in the Swappa marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s also the iPhone XS A2097<\/strong> which is the “global model” for European and Asian markets (although it also shares some compatibility with US carriers), and an A2098 model intended for Japanese carriers. So, what\u2019s the difference between the unlocked iPhone XS A1920 (US)<\/strong> and A2091 (Europe)<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\niPhone XS 1920<\/strong><\/th>iPhone XS A2091<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>AT&T<\/strong><\/td>AT&T<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>T-Mobile<\/strong><\/td>T-Mobile<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Verizon<\/strong><\/td>Cricket Wireless<\/td><\/tr> Cricket Wireless<\/td> Metro PCS<\/td><\/tr> MetroPCS<\/td> Mint Mobile <\/td><\/tr> Mint Mobile<\/td> Straight Talk<\/td><\/tr> Straight Talk<\/td> Lycamobile<\/td><\/tr> US Cellular <\/td> Simple Mobile <\/td><\/tr> Visible<\/td> Walmart Family Mobile<\/td><\/tr> Etc.<\/td> Etc.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\niPhone XS A1920<\/strong> supports the following LTE Bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32, 66, 71.
