You know, Apple really doesn't need a dual SIM iPhone. I mean, that would be handy for a small subset of the population, but the vast majority of people would find an Apple SIM for iPhone infinitely more useful.

Imagine having an Apple SIM in your iPhone, landing in another country, turning on your phone, and immediately being given the option to either choose a prepaid plan for that country (that can be paid for with Apple Pay) or stick with your domestic plan. Most people would love that.

Looked at the GigSky pricing: unless you can't get a local SIM, which admittedly can be a problem in some countries, it is ridiculous. Example:
In Italy the last couple of times I got a 10GB SIM from TIM for 20€ vs. 3GB for $50 from GigSky. Also the TIM one will work for a whole year. Do some research about offers for the countries you are traveling to.

Wow! Huge markup for at least one country I travel to on a regular basis. Convenient yes, but absolutely no value for the money.

T mobile gives me unlimited slow 3g around the world free of charge. As a person who travels allot, it's amazing honestly. Yeah I can't stream 4k video, but it handles all web browsing just fine.

This was my concern. Premium pricing.
[doublepost=1466522910][/doublepost]These pricing are outrageous!

PHILIPPINES
US$ 15 — 50 MB — 3 Days
US$ 25 — 100 MB — 7 Days
US$ 35 — 150 MB — 14 Days
US$ 50 — 250 MB — 30 Days

Prepaid plans in the country can be had that include 6GB of data for $30. GigSky is a rip-off.
