iPhone 15 Pro Max Who bought an unlocked iPhone 15?

[memo90061]

I'm bummed that they don't offer financing for the unlocked iPhone.
I wonder if I should buy the T-Mobile version, but was thinking of switching to Verizon.
My APR is pretty high with the Apple Card. I believe it's 21%.

Did anyone buy unlocked? Did you just pay it all up front?

I did and paid in full. Refuse to by and ATT and then they Lock it even when purchased in full. They will unlock if you go to their website and request but its BS. They are the only carrier that locks on Full Purchase...

I always do as I use prepaid. I'll just pay the $350ish difference between my trade in and full price once it posts to my Apple Card

I bought outright from Apple.

Unlocked, full retail. There goes my Q1 bonus.

The financing is for an unlocked an iPhone, but it is associated with a carrier (presumably your current one.)

So if I buy the T-Mobile version it's unlocked?

I bought mine direct from Apple, picking it up a the store today. I don't like the tacked on insurance charges when making phone payments. I decided it was time stop playing that game.

I bought an unlocked version yesterday and today I have a pick up window for a T-Mobile version.

I financed an unlocked iPhone using the Apple Card.

What do you mean the tacked on insurance charges? Are you referring to the required Apple Care plus purchase with the IUP loans?

Possibly buying the T-Mobile version like others did since it appears T-Mobile version is the unlocked one that can be bought with monthly installment based on what I was reading in the forum.

Thus is one of the reasons I stopped using IUP/Apple Upgrade Program.

Bought an unlocked phone, paid in full, but now I want to return it for another color. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No. I was comparing it to lets say, AT&T's device payments. I don't want 1UP loans either.

I always buy unlocked from Apple but I just pay it all right there. Plan ahead and have the money on hand.
