So where should you buy an iPhone from?
iPhone arrives at 6pm in your time zone tomorrow... if you live in the USA. But where should you buy the iPhone?
We all recall last month when Steve Jobs told a fellow blogger not to go to the Apple Store, but rather go to an AT&T store since it won't be a mad house there. We're not too sure about that.
While AT&T may be less crowded than an Apple Store, we really think that the Apple Store will get the lions share of the iPhones for sure. Today Apple announced that it will allow 2 units per person on a first come first served basis. This leads us to believe that Apple will have more than enough inventory per store to sell to the public.
From todays press release:
"All 164 Apple retail stores in the US will stay open until midnight, and customers can purchase up to two iPhones on a first come, first served basis."
"Beginning Saturday morning, iPhone owners can learn how to get the most out of their new iPhone with free, in-depth workshops offered throughout the day at all Apple retail stores. Every Apple retail store will offer free support for iPhone at the Genius Bar and personal training through Apple’s new One to One program.
“Apple retail stores were created for this moment—to let customers touch and experience a revolutionary new product,” said Ron Johnson, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail. “With our legendary Genius Bar support, free workshops and our One to One personal training, we’re here to help customers get the most from their new iPhone.”
We're still debating which we'll be heading to tomorrow. There is a nice Apple Store in our area that is located inside a mall with air conditioning and carpet. The AT&T locations in our area are not and lately, it's been really, really HOT!
