Apparently so.
A brief search finds a site called Moneysavingexpert, which said this in September 2016:
The new 'iPhone Payments' scheme is the first time we've seen a mobile manufacturer offer an interest-free loan so users can pay for the handset in installments, and it's a move which has the potential to significantly disrupt the mobile phone market.
