Iphone 6 for £48.53pm? no upfront cost.

Just looking at an iphone 6 (plus) with 64gb.

If I renewed my contract with three, it is £56pm with a £99 upfront cost over 24 months (unlimited data option). Total cost over 24 months is £1,443 (getting quite dear these contracts aren't they?)

However, looking on the apple site, the phone can be bought with finance over 24 months at £33.53pm for the phone itself (unlocked) and then you can add on a £15 pm rolling all you can eat 3 sim card. Total cost over 24 months is then £1,164.72

a saving of £278.28 over the term.

or have i missed something?

    Why does this surprise you?

    Buy it from Apple on a 0% credit card and it will cost you less than £1000 in total.

    ... and asking for a PAC code instead of contract reneval can give you discounts up to 50% off sim-only deals. Sometimes under a tenner a month.
  • Is Apple offering 0% finance for 24 months? If not then you can buy it using a 0% interest credit card or buy it from Giffgaff at 9.7% interest rate.
