Are Apple stores (not online) selling the iphone 4 SIM free?

hi,
i read in several places that buying the iphone 4 from the apple online store will get u a SIM free version. i wanted to know if you go to the Apple store, can we still get the iphone 4 SIM free straight from the store. Or is getting the iphone from the online store the only way to get it sim free?
Please provide any info you might have
thanks

Theoretically, yes, you should be able to walk into an Apple store and purchase a sim free iPhone.
However, if you were thinking of doing this on 24th, then I would not bother, unless you have either pre-ordered or reserved for in store pick up. You probably will not get one on launch day, unless you are prepared to go and camp outside your local Apple store from perhaps midnight on Wednesday, or 3 or 4am on Thursday.
I am sure there will be lots of disappointed people on launch day who come away without a phone. Unless you have reserved, then I would wait or go and order directly from the Apple UK store and you will get it delivered by July 14th then.

AT&T Do not open my new iPhone to sim free :( NEED HELP PLEASE :(

I just bought an AT&T iPhone 4 from eBay and i live in Israel.
I need to unlock the phone because our "Carrier" {ORANGE} do not work if the iPhone not sim free.
I called AT&T "1-800-3310-500" few times follow this article: "http://www.noeman.org/gsm/mobile-phone-talk/48308-why-pay-t-unlock-code.html" for a "non-customers" section .
AT&T rep say that she cannot help me if I'm not an AT&T customer, I asked them what can i do? I bought the iPhone from eBay and the person that sold me the iPhone also send me an AT&T Sim card and when i insert to the iPhone and open the iTune i saw the old number so i told to the AT&T rep that i have an old AT&T Sim and if she can open the phone? She say OK took my IMEI number and then suddenly she ask me what is the 4 social number digit of the Sim holder? I told her i don't know i bought the phone from eBay i only have the person name, Sim number and paypal confirmation, i don't know the social number... then she say that she cannot do nothing...
Please help what can i do?

Can any one send me Apple email support that i can write them?
The iPhone 4 I mentioned above was bought from eBay I have problems that the iPhone is locked to AT&T carrier although the previous customer graduated his payments to the company.
In the last few days I called (1-800-3310-500) and Corresponded ([email protected]) with AT&T number of times and ask from the represent to open the phone to Sim free because I live in Israel and my Carrier is “ORANGE” and when I remove AT&T Sim and insert my local Sim, the phone not working. I told them that I can send them the PayPal transaction confirmation on the Acquisition and the IMEI on the phone.
They say that only AT&T customers can ask to open the phone and I'm not a customer thats why they cannot begin the apply request to Apple.
I love Apple products and I use them every day and very happy.
When someone say to me change to Android products I tell him it's like to compare between BMW and Subaru cars, ofcource the BMW represend the Apple IOS system.
I think what AT&T doing is Bullying!!!

Does the apple store (not online) sale cases for the iphone?

i was wondering because tonight im going to an apple store and look for a case i am hapopy with.

Yes, but the two stores in my area have been out of stock on a lot of cases. They seem to be a hot item right now.

Will The Apple store replenish stock of the iPhone to purchase online?

I really like this version of the iPhone, mine was stolen, and I wish to purchase another, but I cannot go hunting one down across NY, is Apple going to put more of the 8GB up for sale again? the Apple online store says "Ships: Currently Unavailable"...
Thanks

Since your iPhone was stolen, at&t has a record of this - you certainly notified at&t that your iPhone was stolen. I think if you spoke with a manager at this closet at&t store - giving them your information to look up to verify that you were an iPhone owner, your iPhone was stolen, and you want to purchase another now, they may waive this policy of not revealing this information over the phone. Tell them your willing to give them a credit card number to hold one for you if there is one in stock. I would pull out all the stops for a little help.

Can I go to an apple store to pre-order the iphone 4s

I know this sounds like an asinine question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere.
Is it possible to go to my local Apple store (yes, physical location) and go through the pre-order process there?
I want to be able to ask questions about the continuity of my cell service/plan/etcetera before pressing 'purchase', and the best way for me would be to talk to a person in-store...but I don't want to waste my time going out there if I can't actually pre-order there after I ask my questions!
Thanks!

AFAIK, there are no "pre-orders" at any Apple store. Apple stores sell iPhones on a first come-first served basis. It is possible to order from Apple's online store for delivery at an Apple store. Bear in mind, pre-orders for delivery on 10/14 are sold out.

Can I buy a upgraded not a standard configuration in any apple store, not online, and how long do i have to wait for it, what is the protocol for it ?

Well thats my question, whats the protocol, i get in to the store tell them what what configuration and upgrades to ram or whatever do i need, and do i wait a couple of days to pick it up or how dose that work
Thanx

Pleasr note that if you do order a 'built to order' MBP, avoid RAM and HDD upgrades. You can save money by purchasing these through third party vendors and installing them yourself. This will not void your warranty and Apple will still make a handsome profit.

I bought an iphone 4s that was purchased from an apple store in canada and the iphone won't work here in south africa. what can i do?

please help

Do you mean that it is carrier locked?
You would have to contact the carrier to which it is locked and see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Or does "won't work" mean something else?

I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty)

So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty). Would it be able to be claimed at the iStudio in Thailand?

There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone. Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand. If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.

HT4528 I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I wanted to find out - can I bring my old iphone 4 to the apple store and get a new iphone 5 through the apple store instead of verizon? Will it cost the same to get the phone as through Verizon?

I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I am trying to find out if I can get my phone through the Apple store? I have an iphone 4 and am hoping to upgrade to a iphone5. Just want to make sure if the price is the same as if I went to a Verizon store to upgrad.

I don't believe they were looking for a trade in, they are due for a subsidized Verizon upgrade. I think the bringing the iPhone 4 was for setting it up and transferring as Verizon does not require you to swap your previous phone for an upgrade.

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,
Nathan

If I have my iPhone 5 replaced at a Apple Store, can I have the colour of the device changed?

My iPhone 5 is faulty as its battery is overheating. I was thinking about taking the phone to an Apple Store for a replacement. Will I get to choose the colour of the phone or will I recieve the same colour?

It might help to think of the Apple Store Genius Bar in the same way that you would think of an auto mechanic's service bay. Imagine that you have towed in a disabled car to have it fixed. When the repair is done, the mechanic hands you the keys to a different model with a different engine and different option package. Great deal right? As I'm sure you can imagine, real life does not work this way.
You will only drive out with the same model that you towed in. If you want a different model, your solution is not in the service department, but on the sales floor. The Apple store is no different.

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.
