Apple Store in New York

Where can you buy an iPad, iPhone or a MacBook in New York? Many small shops sell these products, but it is best to buy them at an Apple Store. The prices do not differ very much from the small shops, but purchasing from Apple Store ensures that you will get quality equipment. iPhones are not always available for sale for those living outside of the United States, because the purchase is sometimes based on purchasing a contract. iPods, iPads, and MacBooks are easy to buy here. You can also buy the “Apple Care” (protection plan) since this is available to those living abroad.
