First sentence, no comma needed after "person" as it is joined by the conjunction "and."
Second is correct. The commas separate the appositive "who are the sole service providers for iPhone" that renames or further describes "AT&T" and could be removed altogether from the sentence with no negative effects.
Third is correct as the comma delineates the dependent clause "while others characterize it as un-American" from the independent clause.

I think most of the commas are correct, except there should not be a comma after "stores". But that sentence is unclear. Does it mean "This does not apply to AT & T stores who are the sole service providers for iPhone, or to on-line sales."
I also don't think it should be a semi-colon after "mixed". I would use a period, followed, of course by a capital letter for the S in "Some".

1. No. The last comma should not be there because the phrase following the conjunction is not an independent clause. Also make sure to capitalize Apple as a brand name.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.

Sounds like you're asking for someone to do your homework.
I'll tell you HOW to tell.
If after the comma you can find a subject and verb, then you need the comma. That means, for example, if the first paragraph, the first comma is correct (separating a prepositional phrase) but the second one is NOT (because read without the middle bit it should be "Apple is now banning cash..." not "Apple, is now banning cash")...
You can sort out the rest on your own!

In the first paragraph the comma after person is wrong.
The second paragraph- commas after stores and iPhone are wrong.
Apple should also be capitalized.
