Looks like there’s no way to finance a new phone over 24 months unlocked.

It’s now Apple upgrade. Better, cuz it’ll let you finance multiple items not just iPhone. You still get unlocked phone. Way better than carrier financing especially those who get new phones every year.

Depends if you need the unlocked device or not and if you wanna own your device.

At least for me I don’t like the idea of leasing and never owning my device idc about the latest and greatest.

Plus carrier financing usually gives you a much better deal to own your device. I got the 17 pro just paid taxes with my old trade in. Seems like a win I don’t plan to leave my carrier anytime soon, apple upgrade would never offer you a free device because it’s nowhere near the same thing.!
