Buying one through Apple online at the moment, but it’s roughly $1300 with taxes. So I have myself a little nervous at the cost. Thanks in advance for answering. 👍

I’m buying from Apple directly with no carrier, figure that’s safer.

Yeah just make sure you purchase the unlocked version of the phone and you sb good to go then. They're usually like $20 more expensive than the carrier locked phones.

Apple charges the exact same price for a carrier locked one as a carrier unlocked one.

Since I already have T-Mobile, should I select that when purchasing, or is no carrier fine?

No carrier is what you want. If you aren’t financing you should never opt for the carrier locked version.

Understood, thanks.
