Where to Preorder
Pre-order directly from Apple. Apple is a perfectly fine place to buy your new iPhone. It's one of the only places you can get an unlocked model that isn't tied to any particular carrier - especially useful if you get cellular service from something other than one of the big national carriers.
Trade-In Deals
Apple does offer some trade-in deals with up to $650 off, though you'll need to activate through one of the major carriers. There's always fine print you should read, and Apple's deals aren't always as good as going directly to the carriers themselves, but at least in the U.S., Apple's offerings are solid.
