Why there is no unlocked iphone for metropcs

Some people want to know if there is any unlocked iphone worked for metropcs, but in fact there is none , because the iPhone is a GSM phone, which requires a sim card in order to work. MetroPCS' phones and network are CDMA, which doesn't use sim cards. They are two completely different technologies and are not compatible with each other.
Unlocked iphones will not work with CDMA carriers, as unlocked only refers to GSM and iDEN phones, meaning they can accept a sim card from a compatible carrier.
