iphone payment plan - anyone done it?

There is a £20 deposit (I just checked now) so you actually repay £1,051.76Anamox said:Every current iPhone is cheaper if you purchase via finance than pay with cash. iPhone 11 pro is approx £1031 for a 24 month payment plan, or £1049 to buy with cash. That tells me it is interest free for the consumer...

Or you could just buy an Android phone for around £100 outright, it will last just as long as an iPhone and save you £££No free lunch, and no free laptop

If you need an iPhone 11 and can justify the monthly payments it seems a pretty cheap way to get it. Make sure it's appropriately insured too, should it get dropped or stolen.Personally, I'd be querying if I could make do with something more sensible. You're moving from a 6 so why not look at a 7/8/9/10 which will be a big leap forward whilst being much cheaper. I went for a sim-only plan years ago and now just buy whatever Samsung I can get for about £100-150 and it's worked pretty well so far, but I just didn't like the iPhone I had before.0

What if you don't like the phone you be stuck with it for 2 years what if you lose it or damage it you still need to pay for it0

Prefer a phone that does not force you to only buy apps from appleDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.1

You don't need an Iphone 11. Any android phone is just as good as Iphones and are a fraction of the price.0

iphone se due out mid april, £300 cheaper, i'm going to look at that as a cheaper upgrade option.0
