The iPhone has been a revolution in smart phone technology and apart from a few dedicated detractors everyone wants one. The problem is that when you're shopping for a new cell phone and a smart phone in particular the iPhone is still an expensive option. If you do want to buy a new iPhone you want to be able to make sure you have some of your hard earned money available to pay for your internet access and to upload the best apps. So how do you find the best iPhone deals? Easy. Shop online.

If you want a simple place to start searching online try eBay and Amazon. These to megasites have been making consumer electronics available online for dirt cheap prices for years and they sell millions of iPhones each year. In fact, it's not actually eBay and Amazon that sell the cheap iPhones. It's everyday people operating out of their basements. These people make deals with wholesalers and sell well below retail prices. And if eBay and Amazon aren't your thing there are other alternatives.

If you want to stick with the big name consumer electronics stores then you'll find they all have online shopping stores. The problem is, because of their huge overheads they are still going to charge you close to retail price. They just can't cut their prices down. On the other hand the little folk on auction sites have nil overhead and this is why they sell for just a few dollars over wholesale.

Now I'm in no way promoting eBay but as someone who has bought and sold a lot of stuff on the site I know how it works. There are a lot of people making their full-time income on eBay and so they are going to go out of their way to please you. Probably more than you'll get from the big chains. Plus if you carefully look at their feedback score you'll know if you can trust them.

Trust is everything online. eBay and Amazon both have great feedback systems and dodgy sellers soon disappear while the ones that provide good service thrive. It's not hard to spot these people. They have massive positive feedback scores and raving review comments.

If you want to pay full retail price for your iPhone go ahead. But if you want to save hundreds - in many cases 50% of the retail price - shop online. If you carefully examine a seller's feedback and look for low competition auctions you're going to have plenty of cash in your pocket for the latest apps.
