Can gou use a debit card for an iPhone?

I'm getting an iPhone soon, but I heard you needed a credit card? Why do you need one, can you use a debit card to get one?

Are you only buying the device or are you getting a service contract with it?

If it's just the device, you can pay in cash or debit at the Apple store.

You need a credit card if you're getting a contract. They need a way to get paid if you don't pay your bill. Some places will take a cash deposit if you don't have a credit card, usually about $200-$300
