Only exceptions to the above rule are EBay and Amazon, both being reliable secure purchase online shopping centers.
Another important issue to consider is that computers as well as other high tech devices tend to decrease in price and increase in capabilities, ease of use, variations and range of functionalities offered to the user. therefore when you go out to buy an iPhone – get the latest most up to date version. it may cost a bit more but you would not end up with a new but outdated iPhone.
