Is it possible to buy the iPhone 5 from an Apple store at full price?
To clarify: I want to go to a physical Apple store and buy the iPhone 5 without a contract and pay the full price of $649.99. I'm in the US And I can't buy it online without paying for a plan, or upgrading my phone. Nor would I like to wait a month or two for Apple to release it factory unlocked. I want to use AT&T, so "unlocked" is unnecessary. Is there anybody who went to the apple store and bought one like this successfully? I can't seem to find a definite answer online. Thanks, all.
Added (1). I can also confirm that you can buy it full price from AT&T without a contract and no questions asked. The catch is that it can only be paid for by credit card. Not cash or debit.
Need to wait until Apple issue a statement regrading the iPhone 5 unlock. Maybe a month to sell unlock by guess.
The factory-unlocked, no contract GSM iPhone 5 isn't being sold right now. What Apple is doing now and what they have done for the previous iPhone models is that they sell contracted iPhones for a few weeks, and then they release the unlocked version. It is impossible to go to an Apple store and buy an iPhone 5 unlocked right now, you'll have to wait a few weeks.
Unlocked iPhone = just the iPhone. No plans. No contracts. They just give you the phone and you walk out. Paying the full price constitutes an unlocked iPhone. Unlocked is necessary because that's the only kind of no-contract iPhone.
It's apparent that the other to people didn't bother reading your description about NOT needing an unlock.
Anyways yes can go to the apple store and buy it outright locked to AT&T for $649 considering they have any available.
- Should I buy an iPhone on a plan or should I pay for the full price upfront? What are pros and cons? To be honest I want to pay for it upfront because buying it on a plan feels like I'm just renting it. I want to feel like I actually own the phone. But everyone in my family is on a plan and they say it's cheaper because they get free texts and stuff. I don't know what to do? I know, first world problems but please help me. Plan or upfront?
