I'm buying myself an iphone at Christmas after having a blackberry for two years. I'm unsure whether I should pay the extra money for the 5s or just stick to the 5?

Also, can you unlock iPhones?

In theory you can't buy the original 5 anymore except maybe some old stock at networks.

The 5c and 5s both support all the UK 4G networks, the original 5 only works on EE and Three's 4G.

I would get the 5s if the price is right.

Yes you have to ask the network to arrange it with Apple. Once unlocked you can change SIM anytime. You can buy iPhones direct from Apple stores or website without a lock.

If you go through Apple directly you can swap your SIM without any real hassle.

If you go via the Carphone Warehouse though it'll lock to the first SIM that's inserted. I can't comment on other mobile phone shops.
