It seems like the same price. Buying it with Apple Store means unlocked phone I think. Not sure the benefits in buying it via ATT directly. Any suggestions?
You can do the carrier but do it on their site rather than in the store. When I upgraded to my current iPhone I did it in the Verizon store because I was flying to Europe the following morning and needed the new phone. they kept me there for 4 hours (none of that was transferring data fro the old phone; I did that myself later) trying to sell me extra shit while dealing with other customers and trying to work their computers
Best to buy the iPhone8 that has no gsm card. You can then use with any carrier according to Apple.com. Including cdma.
Do consider the Apple upgrade program. I personally love it.
Neither. Buy Android.
Lol
Are you the type that would buy anything from Apple? Even if it was a pile of shit
I wish Apple would sell an unlocked CDMA phone online. I want an unlocked CDMA X but that will be a giant PITA.
Isn't the iPhone 8 with no SIM card or carrier an unlocked cdma phone ? It works with any carrier according to Apple
Why would you ever buy a product at the store of the carrier? That’s like me asking, should I buy a new TV from Direct TV, Comcast or Samsung? Maybe we should also buy computers at cell phone carrier stores as well??
Buy it through your friendly neighborhood 🍎employee who can give you a 15% discount - always the best option - and don’t forget to take him/her out for lunch ! 🙂

Apple store for sure, the GSM iPhone is locked to GSM, whereas the CDMA iPhone works in any network! Buy an unlocked Verizon iPhone in store, activate on ATT and always have the option to switch/resell at a higher price.
Awesome. Thank you. I could still buy an att phone at Apple Store right? Would be unlocked and work the same?
Unfortunately, buying the ATT or TMobile iPhone (in the Apple store or through the carrier) gives you the less good one. This is a chipset supply issue , the intel GSM chipset is GSM only whereas the less available (Qualcomm I think?) CDMA chipset does both. In the Apple store they don’t care who your actual carrier is if you pay full price. The VZW iPhone is unlocked if paid in full and should work on ATT. Verify that with the Apple store people, wouldn’t want my random internet advice to ruin your cool purchase!
