Rumors have surfaced online that Apple and its partner AT&T Wireless have ceased to offer the iPhone 4 without a two-year service contract. Speculation on the issue has blamed the policy change on everything from an impending Verizon iPhone to AT&T greed. These reports would be informative except for one thing, the rumor is not true.
Both AT&T and Apple offer the iPhone 4 without a contract at no-commitment pricing. However, these deals are not available online. AT&T representatives have verified that the iPhone 4 can be purchased without a contract in person, from either an AT&T Wireless retail store or an Apple Store. To have an iPhone purchased online and shipped to your residence or place of business, a two-year contract is required.
AT&T reps have stated that the policy is not a new one, although some reports have claimed that Apple changed verbiage on its iPhone FAQ page. The text below can be seen on the Apple website right now:
Can I buy an iPhone without an AT&T contract?
No. iPhone requires a two-year AT&T wireless service contract.
Purchasing an iPhone 4 unsubsidized results in the following prices:
Newest iPhone FAQs
16GB for $599
32GB for $699
Going with a two-year service contract from AT&T Wireless shaves $400 off the price:
16GB with two-year service agreement for $199
32GB with two-year service agreement for $299
AT&T Wireless is currently the only official carrier of the iPhone in the US. The only other compatible carrier is T-Mobile, although 3G data frequencies will not work. Switching carriers requires a jailbreak and unlock on the iPhone, which could violate the Apple warranty.
According to reports, Verizon Wireless could offer the iPhone 4 as early as January 2011.

I sell iPhone 4's, both ATT and Verizon, also Factory Unlocked, which is pretty expensive actually. My prices for 16GB brand new is $569.99 ATT or Verizon. 32GB is $669.99 ATT or Verizon. Unlocked 16GB is $989.89 and 32GB Unlocked is $1039.89. Feel free to buy from others whenever you find prices lower than what I sell for. I do accept Pay Pal, and provide tracking number and insurance, and my shipping is free within the US. International shipping rate depends on where you order from. My email is mrscarroll_09 at ya hoo or you can try and leave me your contact info on here and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I sell iPhones every single day, both online and in person. One site I use is http://www.ioffer.com/i/201340714 that takes you directly to my page. There are a lot of scammers on that site, so please be sure and keep your business with US sellers if you find any prices better than what I sell for. If you don't want to go through a website then you can always feel free to contact me through email and let me know what you would like to do. Please serious buyers only. I will not ship without cleared payment, no matter what. And I do accept returns if the item is sent back to me in the same condition I ship it in. Thanks.
