The explanation from Apple does not give “why” they are removing financing for carrier unlocked phones.
Is this pushback from the major carriers?
Is GS trying to reduce their liability by offloading financing to major carriers?
So many questions unanswered.
People say GS, but I feel like financing iPhones only makes up a tiny part of Apple Card lending.
That's fine, I'll just buy used phones instead again. I will never go back to using big carriers who want me to pay twice as much as a MVNO.
Couldn’t do it to myself, there is a reason MVNOS are cheaper they get deprioritised access to the network and the big one they collect all your data for selling.
You can still buy unlocked phones, you just can’t finance them with Apple Card monthly installments.
