Can I finance a phone through Apple?

Answered by Frank Schwing

You can finance a phone through Apple. Apple offers several options for financing your iPhone purchase, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your budget and preferences. Here are the various ways you can finance your iPhone purchase through Apple:

1. Pay in Full: If you prefer to pay for your iPhone upfront, you have the option to pay the full price at the time of purchase. This allows you to own the device outright and not have any ongoing monthly payments.

2. Carrier Financing: Apple offers carrier financing options that allow you to spread the cost of your iPhone over a set period, typically 24 months, through your chosen wireless carrier. This option allows you to make monthly payments for the device while also paying for your cellular service.

3. Apple Card Monthly Installments: If you have an Apple Card, you can choose to finance your iPhone purchase through Apple Card Monthly Installments. This option allows you to pay for your iPhone over 24 months, interest-free. You can manage your payments directly in the Wallet app on your iPhone.

4. Trade-In: Apple also provides a trade-in program where you can trade in your old iPhone or other eligible devices to offset the cost of your new iPhone purchase. The trade-in value can be applied towards the upfront payment or the monthly payments if you choose a financing option.

It’s worth noting that the availability of financing options may vary based on your location and the specific iPhone model you are interested in purchasing. It’s always a good idea to check with Apple or your local Apple Store to get the most up-to-date information on financing options available to you.

In my personal experience, I have financed an iPhone through Apple Card Monthly Installments. It was a convenient and hassle-free process. I was able to choose the iPhone I wanted, select the Apple Card Monthly Installments option at checkout, and set up a monthly payment plan that suited my budget. The interest-free financing allowed me to spread out the cost of the iPhone over time without incurring any additional charges. I found it to be a convenient and flexible way to finance my iPhone purchase.
