month financing options for iPad purchases
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple has introduced 36-month financing options for cellular iPad purchases through AT&T and Verizon, expanding beyond the previous 12-month interest-free Apple Card financing.
- These new carrier financing plans are available for all cellular iPad models, including iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro, but require customers to be existing subscribers activating a new line of service.
- The extended 36-month payment plans significantly reduce monthly costs compared to the 12-month Apple Card option, making higher-priced iPads more affordable over time.
- This move follows recent price increases on all iPad models, suggesting Apple aims to attract buyers despite the higher costs by offering more flexible payment solutions.
- For example, the 11-inch iPad Pro with cellular now costs $1,399, with monthly payments dropping from $116.58 (Apple Card) to about $38 (carrier financing) over 36 months.
