Apple has changed Apple Card financing terms for iPhone, just ahead of its new device season.
As of August 15, 2023, customers financing an iPhone via Apple Card Monthly Installments will be required to connect their device to a carrier at purchase. This practice was already in place when buying an iPhone in a physical Apple Store location, but it is now extended to online purchases.
Similarly, Apple Watch financing is being changed, though in this case it’s that the repayment term is reduced from 24 months to 12 months.
