For a lot of people, buying a new phone is as easy as breathing. Every year when Samsung announces a flagship, I preorder the device, and that is the end of the story. The same goes for many iPhone users who do the same when Apple announces a new phone. However, not everyone has a simple and smooth experience when moving to a new phone, especially when the phone is from an entirely different ecosystem. The Cupertino tech giant thinks that 'Shop With a Specialist Over Video" is the answer to your phone-buying woes.

Apple wants to help you decide which iPhone is best for you thanks to the new 'Shop With a Specialist Over Video'

Apple has announced that customers in the U.S. can get in touch with a retail employee through a video session. This is an excellent feature for those who want to switch over to an iPhone but are not sure about which model they want. Now, ideally, I would call this new initiative useless, but considering how so many people face confusion when buying a phone, this really is a great way of getting all your questions answered.

In addition to comparing iPhone models, you will be able to go over different aspects of your iPhone, too. Apple has mentioned that users can compare different models, colors, and sizes, and not just that, you will also be able to find some really solid trade-in options through Apple's own program or their carrier. This is a great time for those who are interested in getting a new iPhone 14 or any other variant.

For those interested in using Apple's Shop with a Specialist over Video, the option is now available for customers residing in the U.S. You can get in touch with an Apple employee from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT. All you have to do is head over here. Another great thing about this new buying experience for the camera conscious is that customers will not have to turn on their cameras, so they will be able to see the specialist on the other end of the call.

I still remember the time my wife took before she finally decided she wanted to switch over to Android. There were countless options in front of her, even from the same company. Apple's decision to introduce this ability is an excellent feature for anyone who is not sure about switching to a new phone or a new ecosystem, for that matter. Sadly, we don't know at the moment if Apple will be expanding this service to other regions, but it might be done based on the response in the U.S. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments below.
