Does anyone think it matters where you buy iPhone 4?

[icehead13]

I'm getting ready to go out and buy a new white iPhone. Does it matter if I get it from Best Buy, the Apple Store, or ATT? ANy opinions

id buy it from apple store, since if anything goes wrong you have to take it to the apple store to get it fixed. no one else can/will fix it. or you could go to AT&T/Verizon and buy it they will tell you where the closest apple store is and that they cant fix it for you.

I bought mine at Verizon because it was closest haha. But they also put on my screen protector and had bundles of accessories you could get at a big discount which the Apple Store won't necessarily have. I dunno if AT&T will have it, but they might!

I buy mine at Apple because at least here in NV, Apple only charges sales tax on the contract price. Att and Best Buy charges me tax on retail. Not sure if Apple charges tax differently in other states.

The same is true in Arizona...

... I don't even know what a retail tax is LOL. We don't have that in Indiana I don't think haha. I definitely just got charged sales tax.

VZW. They give me a great discount.

Which ever one is closer to you. I've bought from AT&T, Best Buy, and the Apple Store. All being the same I'd go with the Apple Store.

I prefer going to the Apple Store, but it's usually a "zoo" in that place.

+1 on the Apple Store *ALWAYS* being a zoo. We've bought all of our phones at one of the local Best Buy stores. ALWAYS friendly, ALWAYS helpful, they do free installs on screen protectors, let us try out any case in stock, etc. etc. YMMV

Difference for me on a 32GB is $323 OTD at Apple or $358 OTD at Att and Best Buy. The choice is simple.

I had to ask if there was a sale going on that I didn't know about. That was my first time at the Apple store here in Nashville. A Zoo! Exactly. had my 3 kids with me and got ran down by some "Blue Hairs" trying to get in! WOW!! Next time i will be combat ready.

I got mine from Verizon, but without insurance. I then just purchased the Apple Care separately, since I knew I'd have to deal with Apple anyway (as far as repairs, trouble, etc).

Anywhere

Anywhere that looks legit with the cheapest prices would be my first choice. I'm sure that all places are the same with a set price of $199 w/ 2 year contract, so that just makes it harder to choose. Whichever store is closer to you would be the best.

I got my last one from apple I think that I will get my next one from at&t.

AT&T for me!

I bought mines from AT&T and they gave me 50% off of my Otterbox White Defender case and I also bought the Apple Care too. We have a Apple Store here so I can just make an appt at the Apple Genius Bar if I want them to help me explore more of my White Iphone Enjoy!

Just got back from Apple Store. I got a fresh White iPhone 32GB. Still haven't opened it up yet!

Got mine at AT&T. My two year plan was up, and they gave me a good deal on the iPhone4. Got the Apple Care Plan at the Apple Store.

No it's not ... But true in California.

Wait apple stores in California charge sales tax on the subsidized price?
