Almost all handsets available on the Australian market have no such restriction.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}} One law professor, Dale Clapperton, gave a talk stating that bundling iPhone and mobile phone service could be violating the Trade Practices Act.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.news.com.au/news/iphone-could-fall-foul-of-law/story-fna7dq6e-1111115642334 | title=Latest Reviews | date=February 25, 2008}}</ref> However, no other legal professional or academic has come out in support of this viewpoint.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.builderau.com.au/news/soa/Legal-schmegal-Aussie-iPhone-will-still-be-locked/0,339028227,339286350,00.htm |title=TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals |publisher=Builderau.com.au |access-date=2013-06-21}}</ref> This also doesn't address SIM locking ''per se'', only as applied to subsidised iPhone purchases, and persistence of the lock beyond the contractual period.{{Citation needed|date=August 2023}}
