    You buy it from where ever your comfortable with.

    I'm not an Apple user but buying from Apple could mean you can get any help via the Genius bar, maybe buying from Amazon will also mean you can go to the Genius bar.

    Apple don't care where a device was purchased, if it is under warranty they will handle it the same way. I've bought a number devices from eBay and Amazon and not had an issue getting service from Apple.
