You can now purchase a sim-free iPhone and pay over time with Apple Card
For those so inclined:
You can now snag yourself a brand new SIM-free iPhone and pay over time with no interest —if you have an Apple Card, and existing wireless service.
Apple is coming up with new ways to incentivize Apple Card cardholders to head to the Apple Store. For a limited time only, buyers can purchase a new sim-free iPhone and pay over time with their Apple Card. Before, users would need to pay the full retail price upon purchase or utilize another credit card. With the Apple Card, users will get 3% cash back on their purchase.
In order to view the option, you'll have to be using the Apple Store app, have an Apple Card already associated with your Apple Account, and have wireless service through a carrier on an iPhone associated with your Apple ID. Otherwise, you'll still have to buy an iPhone at the full retail price with no financing. You must use the Apple Store app as the option is not available in-browser at this time.
AppleInsider has confirmed with Apple that this is a limited time offer and must be completed through an existing iPhone with the Apple Store app.
That last bit about a limited time offer is a little disappointing. If the 11 Pro was smaller, even iPhone 8 size, I'd be all over this. That Midnight Green probably won't be 'round again and the iPhone 9 won't be SE sized or even close to it.
