If you buy your phone from the apple store directly you get more help from them. You can take a free class to learn how to use it, they'll give you free help, and fix common things if needed. If you b uy it from at&t you get charged for all those things, because you still have to go to the apple store, its just not free. I got mine from at&t but I regret it! Go to the apple store since they both give you the same service plan

There's absolutely no difference. You will be getting the exact same product at both locations. It is an AT&T wireless phone, but it's made by Apple. The only advantage I would see from getting it from Apple, is in case you have like gift cards or anything for the apple store. The nice thing about getting it at an AT&T location is that they can help you with activating at the store.

Nothing its the same thing, Apple is the maker of the phones and they sell it at there stores or online, and at&t is phone service provider and they also sell them, which apple provides to them. Buying it from either place is the same, and activitation you do on your own at home using itunes.

its the same thing, but you may find at&t's insurance policy maybe even phone more expensive, buying it at the apple store you will have guarenteed warantee and more onhand help because they are the actual makers, at&t won't know why your music is fuzzy, but apple will etc....
