Has anyone purchased the iPhone 4 full retail price?

I'm currently thinking about purchasing the iPhone at the unsubsidized price which is $700 for the 32GB iPhone 4. But my upgrade is available until May 8 of this year.
I'm a kinda impatient person but working on being patient but I really do want the iPhone.
Has anyone bought the iPhone 4 at a unsubsidized price or was it subsidized?
I'm on a family plan also and my sister line (primary) and my mother line (month to month non contract) is available for upgrade. I can use those I hope...
Thanks...

Many people on here have bought the iPhone at the full retail price because their upgrade wasn't up yet. In your situation, I would advise you to wait until May 8th, it's a lot closer than most people's and it's a substantial discount when you wait. You'll save $400. Or as you've pointed out, you can use your sister's or mother's upgrades right now if they don't mind, and then whoever's upgrade you take can use yours on May 8th. That would also be a very good choice, rather than purchasing the full retail iPhone.

  • IPhone at full retail price

    If you are not eligible for an upgrade will you be buying the iPhone at full retail price?  I am not eligible for an upgrade so I'll be selling my Dinc and putting that money into the iPhone.

    I have an upgrade, but if I didn't there is no way I'd pay $650 for a phone that's been out for quite some time. The only way I'd pay that much is if I had a nice phone to sell that would go towards the cost, like you. The only reason I'm not waiting for the iPhone 5 is because I figure I can sell the iPhone 4 and use the money towards the iPhone 5 anyways.

  • Has anyone purchased the Hangover Part 2?

    I was wondering if anyone has purchased the movie The Hangover Part 2? I purchased the movie, started watching it and the subtitle.."One Week Earlier" shows up on the screen. Now it stayed on the screen the entire movie!!!  On the DVD it only appeared for 3 seconds. Has anyone else had this experience? I have checked my settings. Both subtitles and closed captioning are turned off. I don't mind the subtitle being on there for 3 seconds like on the DVD. But it is very distracting being on for the ENTIRE movie!!
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Has anyone experienced the iphone 4s camera panorama failure where the panorama stops after taking  only one non panoramic shot? I think this happens when you switch direction of the panoramic arrow.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • I purchased a Maxx at FULL retail price (out of contract) to keep my unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made to the plan and all VZW could do was offer me $20 in credit.

    As the title says:
    I purchased a Droid Maxx at full retail price (approximately $540) to keep my grandfathered unlimited data. An unauthorized/illegal change was made by my younger sister (who is not an account manager and stole the information from my mom) to the plan and I was not notified within the 14-day closing period to revert the changes. For the record, both my mom and I are account managers, my younger sister is not.
    I went in to my account (and changed all the information) and found out that when changes are made to the account online, you have to send an authorization text to one of the phones--however, you can send this authorization to ANY of the phones on the plan, so my sister sent it to hers (instead of an account managers).
    So, the only reason I found out about this change to my plan was via a text message telling me I was "approaching max data," which of course should not happen with unlimited data. My younger sister did not tell anyone she made the changes.
    When I found out about two (nearly three) weeks ago, I called Verizon to open a ticket about it. They did, said they would call/text me back a few days later--they didn't. One week later I made another phone call to see what the status on that ticket was--the rep said that the other rep was supposed to call me, but didn't, and so he pushed the ticket again. Lo and behold, another week later, still no response from VZW about the ticket. So I called again only to find out that the request to revert the data plan back to unlimited had been denied.
    I spoke with that representative for nearly 40 minutes and all she could offer was some unwanted advice about what to do about my sister's behavior or that "I'm so sorry that someone would do that." I told her I wasn't looking for consolation, but for a compromise on either getting my unlimited data back, or refunding the difference between contract and full-retail price of the phone. I threatened to leave VZW because of this and all she could offer was a measly $20 credit.
    I have filed a BBB complaint against Verizon Wireless for this issue as an illegal change that goes unnoticed past the 14-day closing period should be addressed in a more urgent manner.
    I have also reached out on Reddit and Twitter, because obviously calling the VZW support does nothing to alleviate my situation. I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.

    You seam to be focusing your anger at Verizon and not your sister. Verizon followed the rules and required IDs and passwords to access the wireless account. You and/or your mother are supposed to safeguard that information.  Your sister has committed the felony by stealing your mothers identity for personal gain.
    You say "I am very dissatisfied with how VZW is handling an illegal and fraudulent change on my account that has shafted me out of 500 dollars.'  My question to you is who made the illegal and fraudulent change to your account?  Verizon or your sister? Keeping in mind your sister had all the correct IDs and passwords,
    I'm sure if you went to Verizon and wanted to make some changes to your account, and you had the correct IDs and passwords, you would be upset and angry if they put you through the 3rd degree because they thought you were committing fraud.
    Good luck to you, (seriously) whatever happens,

  • IPhone 4 'Full Retail Price"

    Why is it that Verizon claims the iPhone 4's full retail price at $649 and $749 and the "discounted" prices at $199 and $299? The standard retail price for an iPhone 4 is $199 and $299. I can walk into any Apple store and pick up a 32gb iPhone 4 for $299 right now. So, why is this considered a "discounted" price by Verizon when, in actuality, I'm not getting any discount on it at all?

    I'd like to see you go into ANY official Apple store and purchase an iPhone 4 OFF contract for the $199/$299 price.  You "may" want to read a little closer when you are viewing those prices.
    Feel free to go to http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone and look at the little numbers beside the prices.  You should see a "2", and when you scroll DOWN the page, you will then see this:

  • Has anyone purchased the Apple TV for Dummies book?

    I saw this book yesterday at Border's and was half-tempted to purchase it since Apple does not offer a quality Apple TV user guide. But at $21.95 I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone has purchased the book...and to offer there opinion as to whether or not they think it is worth the money. Input anyone?
    Thanks.

My Apple tabs do not look like that at all. They did in the 1.0 version but since downloading the new version the only tabs that appear are Summary and Photos. Despite what this link reads, I can no longer synch anything to Apple.
    my tabs looks exactly like that.
    the reason you only have 2 tabs is that you have set up itunes as a secondary library (you only get 2 tabs).... as a primary library you get all the tabs and the syncing functions. secondary libraries only provide streaming access.

  • Has anyone with the iPhone had a problem with 7.3 itunes?

    I'm curious to know if people who bought the iphones have had the same problems with 7.3 itunes that seems so prevalent on the discussion board (like getting the error message in saving the library file, or frequent crashes).
    I'd love to know, because if not, then it seems as if 7.3 is designed specifically for the iPhone (supposedly the iPhones only works with 7.3), and that may be why the rest of us non-iphone consumers are having a miserable time with the upgrade.
    Can you iphone people let us know?
    thanks.

    I have an iPhone and since I've upgraded to 7.3, iTunes constantly stops responding and I've had to force quit. I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and deleted the iTunes preferences in my library file and while this works for 1 or 2 times, it soon does it all over again. Help!

  • Has Anyone sent the iphone in for repair for the low volume issue ???

    I called apple last week and spoke with a level on support agent. After he could not solve the volume issue they sent me to level two. the level two tech took the call and told me right away that they were going to send me a new phone. I give him my credit card as a deposit so they would send a new phone and when I had the new phone I could then send the old one back. Well after a few days I called to check on the phone and found out he never placed the order and now they say they want to send it for repair some place in Texas. They did offer the rent me a phone for 29.00 while I wait for repair. I told them no rental for me. How bad is that, a hardware issue and they say they are going to send a new phone and never do then they offer a repair and to rent me a phone. I was wondering if anyone had sent in the phone for this issue yet. I do not think I am going to send it in and I think I am going to get my refund while I still can. I just thought I would check to see if anyone had sent the phone in for repair yet and how it worked out.

    How are any of us (Apple users just like you) supposed to have any idea?
    We weren't there.  We don't know the specifics of what happened to your iPhone.
    Ask the store that repaired it.

  • Has anyone purchased the refurb macbook pro 1.83 for £928 from the UK store

    If so what are your experiences please....

    I bought a refurb and have been pleasantly suprised. It looked brand new out of the package, and has been bug free. It seemed to freeze once or twice while in sleep mode, but hasn;t done that in weeks. I have been running it for ove a month now without problems.
    To me, it was worth it!!!

  • Has anyone found the iPhone 4 alerts sounds keep turning down. The only way to get them back up is to switch the phone off and then back on.

    My iPhone 4 alert volume keeps turning its self down even though the volume is turned up. The only way to correct is to turn the phone off and then back on.

    YES!  This is really killing me and you're the only one to bring it up in discussions!  I constantly have to turn it off and on to get it back to norm, and this other reply about clean wiping in/resetting it is just too much of a pain in the @#*.  I don't have the apple warranty, but do have verizon as a carrier with insurance.  I wonder if they'll have a clue as to what to do, or just default to the idiocy that is the norm.  Good luck to us both.  Btw, I have the 4s..

  • TS4036 I purchased the iPhone 5 and did a backup to my 4S before I made the change and did a full reset on the 4S.  How do I get everything that i backed up via iCloud on my new phone as it still ha not restored 2 weeks later?

    I purchased the iPhone 5 and upgraded from the 4S.  I backed up the 4S to iCloud before I did a full reset on the 4S.  My iPhone 5 has still not restored to the backup from the 4S and it has been 2 weeks since the change.  How do I get my iPhone 5 to sync to the backup I did on the 4S 2 weeks ago?

    You would have to essentially start again.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Contents And Settings
    This will take the handset right back to the original setup, where you will find an option to Restore From iCloud Backup.
