Hi!! Apple employee here. That’s the leasing program, which means you’re paying to use the iPhone, not own it. Once your lease ends, you’ll have to return the phone. So the monthly payment may look cheaper, but you’re not actually paying toward owning the device!

You’re handing them $885 and paying $5 a month to get nothing back after the lease ends…

Yeah $5 a month this year but next year you’ll have no device to get that trade in credit so it will be back to $80 a month

You’re paying them 885 + 120 to not own the device - if you purchased you’d get 600 ish back after 2 years off from 1350 with taxes so you’re actually losing on the deal buddy. If you owned and returned you’d pay less

That’s just for one year, you have value in your trade in this year, next year you won’t.

it’s cause of your trade in credit… the math is right there. you may as well have just paid for the phone out right

you traded in a device you owned to rent one that you will not own once the lease is done

Don’t do it, someone on here did the math and you are essentially paying i think around $50-$150 more a year for a phone you never get to keep and it’s essentially sucking you in to subscription based soul sucking

this is lease deal. so you technically don't own the phone. you'll need to give it back. it's cheap but not an option for everyone.

It would be far cheaper to just keep your current model. Anything else is just flushing money down the toilet.

Do you not realize by trading in your purchased iPhone 17 pro max, once the lease ends you’ll have to upgrade to a new phone at full lease price. Will only be $5 for a year. You can’t really think that’s a glitch

You have to pay off the lump sum at the end of the lease term

Because you are leasing it, you won’t get a big credit next year when you go to upgrade for the next one and then will have to pay whatever amount they decide
