Where should I buy my iphone?

I usually buy stuff on Amazon, but since iphone 4 isn't for sale there, what is the best place to buy it? Should I go with AT&T for my phone service?

I would try Apple as well. And you would have to go with AT&T for your phone service.

Where Should I Buy The iPhone?

I'm Thinking of going to the apple store to purchase my iPhone, will the apple store have the iPhone in stock? Or should i buy online.

I was in the same predicament this week. I had sold my Nexus One thinking I could find the iPhone 4 in stock since my brother bought his days before from an Apple Store. The first day I called all AT&Ts (only pre-order), Best Buys (out of stock), Radio Shacks(dude said they dont sell them), Walmarts (no stock for two weeks), and of course Apple Stores (they get "daily" shipments but don't know how many) in my area with no luck. The second day in the morning, frustrated I was about to order one online from ATT (a 7-10 business day wait) when I decided to start calling again....sure enough around 11am I called the closest store (for the second time that day, I had called at opening time 10am) they had them BUT only the 32GB.
Thinking I would have to wait days if not weeks for the 16GB I went ahead and bought it. Then one day after that I called out of curiousity again, and what do you know! They had both 16GB and 32GB! So I went in and exchanged the 32GB I had bought the day before.
_Moral of the story: Best chance is to call Apple Stores everyday at least twice a day_. By noon they will know whether they have them or not for the day. They get daily shipments.
TOTAL WAIT TIME: 2 days for 32GB, 3 days for 16GB (my preference).

Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

Great article by HuffPost Tech.
The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
June 2007: original iPhone released
June 2008: iPhone 3G released
June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
June 2010: iPhone 4 released
June 2011: Nothing!
In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
So there is Reliable Source One.
Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

Apple has two prototypes out testing now. One is a thinner totally redesigned case. The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it. Hence the delay. The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals. If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5. If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

Where can I buy an iPhone 3G?

Everyone tells me with in an Apple store or an ATT store. I have called every Apple and ATT store in my entire state and they are all sold out. They are sold out EVERY DAY for the past week. So, where do I buy an iPhone 3G?

jzaun,
Welcome to the forum. You know, in your "My Settings" you can enter where you are located. That displays to the left of the post. I'm sure if the responder saw that you were in Hawaii, they wouldn't just suggest you go to another state. People need to help the rest of us out by including more information. Another thing to add is what platform you are on (Mac OS X or Windows, etc.). Having more information about someone posting helps everyone.
As far as not finding an iPhone, I say relax. I too am looking for one and the AT&T stores are out. I need to get one there because I am transferring my wife's phone too. I plan to wait a few weeks (things will get better by then) and then get a phone. Hope you can wait!
Good luck.

Where can I buy a iphone 4g in Utah?

I would like to know where I could buy the iphone 4g the day it comes out. Also would I have to get in line early or will there be enough for everybody?

The iPhone is sold at Apple stores, AT&T corporate stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Walmart.
If a Best Buy, Radio Shack, or Walmart is available, I would call the store to make sure the store will be selling the iPhone. An AT&T corporate store will be.

Should i buy an iphone 4s or wait for the iphone 5 to come out

hi, just wanted to know if i should buy an iphone 4s or simply wait for the iphone 5 to come out... Do you know what is going to be new on the iphone? is there going to be another iPhone?

We only know what information Apple has released. The only real thing released is iOS 6 will be out in the Fall. We have heard no official announcement as to the date of that release, nor have we received any announcement of the release of a new iPhone, no matter what they want to call it. Your decision to purchase a phone has to be based on your need at the time and what is available.
