    Where I live we dont have an apple store, just an authorized reseller. Does anyone know if there is a difference between buying from an authorized reseller or getting it from the online store?

    The warranty is still honored by Apple. Check the prices though.

    No important difference, really, the warranty is still handled by Apple. The only main difference would be pricing, usually third party resellers will have some sales while Apple doesn't.

    There's no difference, as the "authorized reseller" is tightly controlled by Apple.
