  Which you can buy for cash if necessary. There's no way to ban you from buying an iPhone.

    What are you going to do with an iPhone without an Apple account? Use it as a coffee coaster?

      The only important functionality that requires an Apple account is the App Store. For that you can create an account with no/limited identifying information and pay for it via iTunes gift cards if necessary. A ban is trivial to circumvent.
