Some might I think the Apple store does if I’m correct and you can call who you are with like AT&T or Verizon etc and ask if you can buy an iPhone with cash


An Apple Store will definitely take cash, although I've heard that big cash transactions may mean a manager and/or security guard is there. I think most transactions at Apple Stores are made with card readers these days. It's not like a Best Buy where they have a big cash register out there though.


I'm not sure if the OP is thinking about old reports that iPhones could only be purchased with credit cards to enforce limits. Apparently that was done in an attempt to reduce the number of iPhones that were purchased in order to gray market them. That was a long time ago though.
