It’s a lease, not rent. I don’t know the exact numbers on this but you can pay “rent” for two years and then pay like $300 (I don’t know what the right number is here) at the end to own it outright at that point. So at the end of the day you pay like $200 more than someone that buys it outright from the get go.

- what 17d agoThe upgrade program cost including the buyout is the exact same price as if you paid it all upfront.
- dyauspitr 17d agoInteresting. So everyone should be doing the lease.
- artisinal 16d agoNo, because then you pay full price. If you buy your iPhone at a third party retailer the price is much lower. The iPhone Air is €1329 at Apple and €849 at retailers.
