"It appears likely that Apple will launch something resembling a mobile phone in mid-sept, although the details are still up for grabs."
Does "up for grabs" hear mean available or unavailable?

They mean unavailable. It is not a very good use of the expression. Usually "up for grabs" means "help yourself".

Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one's "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place - sometimes site of a war - which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.

I think it means available,
but if "up for grabs" was said by Apple, it might mean that they're still putting together the design and features

It means it could be yours if you paid enough, won it as a prize,
Example ,,,," This 2006 Mustang is up for grabs to the first person who guest how many jelly beans are in the jar"....
It's yours for the taking
If you work , they may bid a job class that will be up for grabs in Oct.

In this sentence it means unknown results as yet.
Usually up for grabs means available, as
'The job is up for grabs to anyone that qualifies'
So, again, in this sentence which uses 'likely' ....
'something resembling a mobile phone'.... although
the details.....
It seems to me whomever wrote is entirely up for grabs!

Unavailable to the writer. Someone has the details - of course - but they have not made them available to the writer.
;-D Up for grabs probably came from the throwing of the wedding bouquet tradition.
