Buying iPhone in Germany

The iPhone will be available in Germany, if it is not already available now.
I want to buy one and use it here in Germany , eventually I will be moving back the the U.S. When I move back will I be able to use the same iPhone granted I will have to sign up with a local service provider in the area I move back to. I do not want to have to buy a new iPhone when I move back.

As you are aware, the iPhone is not available in Germany at this time and I do not believe that there has been any announcement if and when it will be.
It is being released in the UK this week and in France later this month.
I would not have any idea how you would be able to operate any of the iPhones sold in the UK or France in Germany or whether an iPhone bought in the UK or France will function in the US when you move back.
As you also may know, the iPhone is functionally keyed to working with AT&T only for the next several years, in the US, and any other use through any other service provider could subject your iPhone to becoming a 'brick' if you try to update a phone that has been hacked.

Look for a 3rd party repair shop that can fix it in your area. It wouldn't be covered by warranty anyway.

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
from Apple.com
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US )

How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

Hi
I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
Thanks in advance...:)

This is a user to user help forum only.
The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

how if we buy iphone in us. does the warranty valid in another country? and whats the different between t-mobile unlocked free and the only sim free version? can we still use it outside US?

Actually, Apple has now changed their warranty policy, & if you purchase an iPhone with AppleCare Plus, the warranty will be honored in every country that sells AppleCare Plus:
Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

If I buy iphone 5 from Sprint , can i use GSM network out of the US ?

hi there,
you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.

Today i am going to buy iphone 4s . i have some questions.

i wanto to buy IPhone 4S off contract from apple store , will they sell it to me? is it a factory unlocked iphone?? if i need any repairs in the future .what happens if i send it to repair , will they give me a AT&T phone , do i need to wait for the "factory" unlocked that is supossed to come in november ? the last one ,
when there is an update for the iphone, i want to update it. but my iphone is factory unlocked . and i was wondering if it will still be factory unlocked if i updated it?
because i just heard .someone already bought a free-contract iphone 4s at the apple store. you just need to CONNECT to itunes and then it said," congratulation your iphone has been unlocked" is it true ? can someone answer my question?
i am waiting for your question......................
[ thank.]

That is impossible since every iPhone sold in the USA until the November release will have some sort of sim card in it. What differs is whether you purchase subsidized or not. Once the item is purchased without any subsidy it is automatically unlocked. I've unlocked two so far just by plugging them into iTunes: "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked".
The unlocked packaging will be exactly the same but will have different SKU numbers and will not come with a sim card and will have an ejector tool.
I just had some issues replacing my unlocked phone since it was malfunctioning. They replaced it with a locked unit & then came to the conclusion they are unable to unlock it. I had to return the phone and repurchase another for the unlock to work again. Come Novemeber they will have actual "unlocked" replacements.

My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts?

My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts? We want to be able to share my itunes library on both our phones and sync our calendars, but I don't want every update and reminder that my wife puts in her phone and I know she doesn't want every reminder I put in my phone.

What you need to do is both use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but separate Apple ID's for everything else. So, you keep your existing Apple ID. If not a verifiable email address, you will need to create a new Apple ID for yourself. You also create an Apple ID for your wife, again a verifiable email address. You use the existing Apple ID for all iTunes content. The new Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. Here's how to create an Apple ID:

No, you can't do what you want. Apple will only ship a US iPhone to a verified billing/shipping address in the US.

I want to buy iphone accessories for my iphone5, so that my iphone 5 can be more functional and more perfect.Anyone have any idea?

Listening to music - Bluetooth wireless speaker
Brands that carry these accessories: Jawbone Avantree, Kinivo
Watching movies - Get a case where the iPhone stands horizantally.
Brands that carry these accessories: Speck, MiniSuit
Taking pictures - iPhones camera is top notch. I would recommend enhancing it with these apps
Snapseed - Image touchups
Over - Typography
KitCam - Image touchups
Pic Collage - For collages
Pic Jointer - For collages
Instagram - Image sharing
Earphones - I think the ones from Apple are the best.
LG Tone - Good wireless headphone.
