Hi everyone,

Is there any benefit of purchasing an iPhone directly from apple rather than purchasing at best buy or target?
 
more in stock? it's all personal preference on who you want to buy it from.

Not sure that would be a factor for me.I plan on waiting maybe a month so I don't get a "1St batch phone" because I see a lot of complaints with different screen issues and random issues in the first ones available

not like they'll fix the issue in a month but since you're not pre-ordering. you should have no problem walking into any store and get what you want.
 
Ok so there's no difference. So when do they typically start selling unlocked off contract iPhones? I called my nearest apple store and they said they won't be available initially
