When you purchase an iPhone at Apple.com do you have to create an apple id right then or can you bypass it and do it later? On the apple site, when you're making a purchase, it says you can continue as a guest and create an apple id at the end. Can you bypass that and make a purchase without creating an apple id? Thanks.
You have to create an Apple ID to use Apple's services like purchases from the App Store or iTunes. You create the ID using your new iPhone:

I expect that you must be able to buy the thing without
creating an account for it, since many people would be
buying it for someone else to use, such as a gift.
