Hi! Normally when i buy from Apple i use the AppleStore app. I could take one of my friends with me and go to the Apple Store nearby but to me the App is a much smoother way of buying. THe down side is that you can’t touch the thing you might want to buy before you buy it. But fore me that’s not a big issue. /A
