Where is the best place to buy an iPhone - AT&T store or Apple store?

1 Answer

Answer :

I got mine at ATT store. They just handed it to me, they couldn’t answer questions, elaborate on features, or even help with issues (ATT’s, not the hardwares)! I would suggest go to an Apple store if you can, get a genius to help you, and they can help with any hardware questions/issues, then you can spend all the time necessary with ATT customer service from the comfort of your home. :) good luck.
