Best to buy iphone from apple shop or mobile phone shop?
Hi
I'm looking to buy the iPhone 5 on contract in the next few weeks and was wondering whether people think its best to buy it from the apple shop or from a mobile phone shop? I went into the apple shop today and they have a variety of price plans for different providers but would you get a better deal within a providers shop?
I found better deals in the carrier store. (AT&T.) On a contract, you get a reduced price, but pay the tax for the full price. It is still a good deal… The Apple store seemed to have higher prices…
If you want an unlocked factory phone - so you can put any sim in it - then choose it from Apple because they are more reliable than phone shops. You can't trust some these days but if you wanted a contract it wouldn't be better because you can't put any sim in it e.g you can't put a vodafone sim in t-mobile phone. £36 a month deals are for 2 years - 24 months - so you end up all together paying about £800 so that is a rip off because at Apple.com it is £529 so I hope this helps!
Hi. I would say buy the phone from a service provider instead. Like Rich said… You can find better deals. Which may equal it being cheaper
- Will the Apple shop replace my iPhone or my phone network company? My iPhone has started to break (not through accidental damage, but a software issue) and I was wondering if it's better to go to an Apple shop or to an EE shop where I bought it. Will any of them give me a free upgrade? Which is more likely?
- If you buy iPhone from Apple Store with Apple Credit Card and stop making payments on it what happens next to that phone? If you buy iPhone from Apple Store with Apple Credit Card and stop making payments on that Credit Card what happens next to that phone? Does it get blacklisted like other companies does it? (I'm not trying to do this, just to prove a point to somebody stupid that he won't get away with it. Lol)
- If you buy an Iphone at an apple shop, can you? Get the phone service connected there? Or do Apple stores only sell the phone itself, and you have to go to another company to get the phone service hooked up?
- If I buy a new phone and restore my phone will a virus transfer to the new phone? I believe my iPhone has a virus but I'm not sure. I'm due for a new phone anyways but I need to know that if I do have a virus on my current phone, will it transfer with my information and data to my new phone?
