I live in Toronto and Apple iphone only comes with a contract for three years and i can not even buy this since I am already in a contract and only one year has passed. How can i get an iphone without a contract. If I go to states can i get an iphone without a contract. What maximum price should I spend from my pocket for an 8gb or 16gb Iphone.
