Where to Buy the iPhone 4?
You have a few choices:
When the iPhone launched, you could only buy it at an Apple Store. Now you can trade up at big box stores Walmart and Best Buy, retail AT&T and Apple stores, and online at Apple.com. (Ok, you can’t actually “trade up” at these locations. You’ll have to pick where to buy it then find another place where you can sell your old iPhone.)
Apparently, Apple does not sell refurbished iPhones at Apple.com. Bummer because I was hoping to save a few bucks on the new purchase. I got a heck of a bargain when I purchased my refurbished iMac.
Why Buy a Brand New iPhone?
I purchased my 1st Generation iPhone a few weeks after it was released. It’s only 4GB, runs on the Edge network (slower than 3G), plus the apps lack punch.
I’m thinking about to buying the new 2010 iPhone (4G? Verison?).
Sure, my current iPhone still works, but I’d like to get the new, faster version with video, picture text messages, etc. I’ll keep my old phone in a safe place where I can easily activate it as an emergency backup.
I’m Buying The New iPhone 4. You Can’t Stop Me
It’s official, I’m gonna buy the new iPhone 4. There are several ways I can rationalize the purchase:
- I blog about Apple products and readers want to know about the newest iPhones
- My current AT&T contract is up
- The new iPhone will be available on Version! (I hope)
You’re right, those aren’t great reasons. What are you, my mother?
Like mom would say, “make sure you buy the warranty.” I did and it saved me a few hundred bucks.
UPDATE:
You can pre-order iPhone 4 on June 15th!
