Meh... I only choose Walmart if I need to buy socks, a bag of Cheetos, underwear & condoms at 3am. Otherwise... I'll let the pros at Apple handle my iPhone order.

Good call. I'm sure Wal Mart gets the bad batches of iPhones and not the ones that are the same everywhere else.

Choosing a female hero is always a reasonable response

I also live in Cali. I pay $73 dollars Tax for a 64 GB iPhone 5 pre order. But not $100.

lol That wasn't towards you....I quoted the guy that said he only trusts Apple to handle his iPhone purchases!

Yes, Walmart and Sam's charge you taxes from the subsidized price because they sell it as a warehouse, and there is a different tax policy on them.
So for a 16gb iPhone 5, I paid $55 in taxes (depends where you live in CA). If I would get it from Walmart, I would save $39, which I don't want to save because I get my iPhone this Friday. I would pay this $39, just bring the cellphone to my doorsteps.

To make a sammich? Yes you are correct!


Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I wanted to preorder, but it seems to be only for the 2 year commitment. I wanted to buy it outright.

Same problem here :/ so stupid

Curious...how does anyone expect to keep a preorder going and buy an upgrade in a store?

You status will be checked.

Yeah. I don't see the problem in doing it. But I'll just be checking if we get more in, since I work in the same department. xD I just gotta wait for that check, then bam! New phone here I come. Lol

Based on these past levels, don't you think aapl learned from it and allocated them more this time around?

More to themselves....not places like radioshack/walmart.
