A:AnswerYes you can. I didn't want to trade in my old phone, am not in a contract with my carrier, and didn't want to be in one or pay it out monthly.
I don't think any reputable stores sell an unlocked version online. Have to buy in store.
I bought my new iPhone XS - 64gb UNLOCKED -- and without activation on 12/31/18 from Best Buy in Allen Tx. Paid same price as full price unlocked that Apple Store charges --- and which is actually equal to the same price as you pay to most carriers through their monthly plans.
A:AnswerThe screen size as the XR will be bigger than the XS unless you go with the max. There's also the 3D Touch for all the shortcuts into apps and previewing notifications on the home screen, although the XR has a haptic tough that is similar but not as fully integrated. The camera doesn't have the 2nd lens which is mostly useful for the 2x optical zoom. The screen on the XS is OLED where the XR is LED, although the LED on the XR is great its still not the quality of OLED you'll get on the XS. A plus for the XR is it gets the best battery life out of XS and XS max probably due to it running LED and not OLED screen. So if battery life is most important to you I'd go with the XR, I chose the XS max because I wanted all the top of line features and size.
A:AnswerThat is correct. You pay the taxes on the price of the phone you’re getting at the time of purchas /upgrade. Depending on your carrier or promo going on, you can expect to pay anywhere from 32-51$ a month depending on the configuration of the phone you select. Typically your first bill will also have an upgrade fee, again, depending on the carrier you have.
You can also purchase the device outright and not pay an increased Monthly bill
Hope this helps.
A:AnswerHey there,
To qualify for the Best Buy gift card you would have to have your phone completely paid off ( owned ). The $32 you mentioned is considered an early upgrade. Since you're only 20 payments in out of 30, consider it like a lease.. AT&T requires that phone to be returned to them since it wasn't paid in full.
Hope that helps .

A:AnswerI would NOT recommend it. It is water RESISTANT, not water PROOF. It can withstand water in small bits and not for an extended amount of time, such as being submerged underwater
A:AnswerI do believe so, you should be able to call any AT&T store and they should be able to answer that, I would recommend calling 2 or 3 stores just to see if you can get the same answer.
