Are there any discount for apple? I would like to buy the iphone 5s without contract but it seems too expensive

is there any way to get a discount on an iphone 5s ,esp one bought without contract?

The only discounts are through the carriers themselves, in exchange for you agreeing to a contract term.  It's not really a discount as much as it is simply distributing the cost of the phone over the period of the contract - the carriers still make their money on the phone in the end.
Its not unlike T-Mobiles new update anytime or AT&T's new deal - pay the whole price upfront and never have a contract, or effectively (with AT&T) finance the price of the phone over a year's worth of payments.  No matter how you slice it, you still end up, one way or another, paying essentially the full retail price of the phone.
(I particularly dislike T-Mobile's current ads - anyone with any carrier could always upgrade "whenever they want" as long as they paid rull retail price for the handset - nothing at all new with T-Mobile's latest "deal").

    I agree, but there should not be any disagreement for a standard that has been defined, and I think the OP doesn't understand the standard. So I was just trying to help.

  • I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but...

    I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but I am from Canada. Is it possible for me to buy a no-contract iPhone 4 from Apple in USA, and bring it back to Canada to use it? Does it come with the micro-sim? I believe it is locked to AT&T but is it possible to unlock the iPhone at all?
    Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box? And if so, would it arrive around June 24th as well? When pre-ordering, would it be mandatory for me to sign up for an AT&T plan as well (even if it's not a data plan)?
    Thanks in advance!

    Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box?
    No. Someone must accept and sign for the delivery.
    Wait until the iPhone 4 is available in Canada, or will it be available in Canada at the same time?
    Regardless and as already provided, the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only and AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason under any circumstances.

  • Is there any discount for apple apps for students?

    Hello,
    I am a student. I need to use Final Cut pro and Page, keynote and other apps. I can get all the apps free from my friends.
    But, as far as I know, it breaks copyright law. I want to be 100% legal.
    But it is impossible for me to efford that much money to buy them. So, does Apply give any discount for the students?
    Please help me dear friends...

    So, If I buy Motion 5, I will get it for life time. Even I can get updates all the time...
    Again, it depends on where you get it and how Apple continues to sell it. If you buy from the Mac App Store, then as long as Apple doesn't make some future version a new, separate app, then you would be able to get all future upgrades. But Apple could decide to release some future version of Motion as a new app in which case, as deggie said, you will have to buy it again. There's no way to know, and Apple can't/won't tell you so there's no point in contacting Apple Support on the issue.
    Regards.

    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.  If you want to buy something, you must contact stores directly yourself in the country where you live.  Apple stores do not ship outside their own county.

  • Are there any limitations for importing Apple Aperture Libraries for Lightroom 5.7 ? What can be the hardware limitation importing large Aperture Libraries like 200 gb ? Or is importing larger Aperture Libraries even possible at the moment for Lightroom 5

    As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
    IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.

    Hi, actually there is, but you have to inquire according to Apple.com/za website. Here is the statement:
    Student Discounts
    Students, staff and academic institutions are eligible for ongoing discounts on Apple products and solutions. Call 011 535 9080 for further information.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    Are there any free TV channels that can be received on the Apple TV?

    No, it's not a TV tuner.  It's primarily marketed as a rental vehicle for iTunes store movies/purchases and for playback of compatible (see specs) media from iTunes.
    Some subscription streams are available eg Netflix, MLB as well as youTube and some limited internet content (no browser).
    Check the Apple tech pages.

    No (except for the costs of having your legal team check the license). You do need to read the license carefully, you are making specific commitments and there are specific restrictions.

  • Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
    (pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
    Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
    representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
    and all its properties in my Flex app.
    Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
    server side data?
    I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
    then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
    It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
    compiler though.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!

    One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
    Farata Systems called
    DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
    You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
    single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
    generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
    version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
    extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
    regenerates your Flex VOs.
