iPhone Users About To Be Mad

[Seoul Gleou]

I mean they kinda already doing that anyway, most people I know with new IPhones are on payment plans paying their phone bill and for the actual phone

isn't the phone bill inclusive of the payment for the phone?

this is actually retarded. how is that legal?

 

[Tom Foolery]

I don't care about the iPhone because it's already sold with a contract, but for the Macbooks? This can fukk the used-market up.

Used Macs still sell for a good price. If you get people to return their old Macs, that market is done.

OP, explain yourself .

Imagine you fully bought a house. No mortgage. But you can't replace the windows/doors or install ANY improvements on it without the builders' say-so.​

Don't a lot people already finance their phones through the carrier? And I thought Apple already had something like this. Where you paid monthly and can upgrade annually? Unless I'm misunderstanding. It's not for me personally, as I stopped upgrading that frequently but I don't see the problem. If anything it looks like this wouldn't require a credit check/hard pull which is a plus. OP, explain yourself .

Yeah we got a thread in the Arcadium and people are bringing up the same points
Very few people are paying full price for their phones day 1 and instead have them with the cell phone plans
I’m assuming though this will allow you to switch it out even easier and you’ll do it through the Apple Store so the carriers don’t have full control over the phone if you stop paying for the service

Some services do things like sign up for them for 2 years and they’ll reduce the phone payments from $20 to $5 so you’re tied to the service as well

Is that Louis Rossman?

That fool was born to battle the big bad Apple Corporation

I remember when his videos were 3 hours long

The OG iphone repairman

You’re absolutely correct. nikkas just wanna be obtuse though and make dumb threads. If you didn’t buy your phone cash, then you are already doing this every month. Apple is just saying you can do it with Apple directly instead of Verizon or T-Mobile. They already have the program where you can upgrade every year but your payments are still technically financing. This is just expanding that program a little. No news here.

The phone and the service are 2 different things.

A phone service payment is separate from a device payment. One is for the service and one is for a device if you didn’t have one. How is this a question?

They do technically already do this , just not legally.

when you’re due for an upgrade and don’t , they will still include the phone charges in the bill

This is what I'd assume they'll do.

Take the used leased iPhones once people turn them in for the newest iteration, "refurbish" them, and sell those to the people who don't want to lease their phones nor want to spend 1300+ for a new phone. All out of the Apple Store.

What's to be mad about this? I'm not even an apple person but this shyt is brilliant.

 

[STAN JONES]

phone companies already do this

its why most of yall bum ass nikkas are paying $30 per month for your phone

most people don’t buy phones outright

Apple is just cutting out the middle man

Which is crazy to me since my phone ran $350 with equivalent features/functions.​

 

[Geek Nasty]

I'd be done with apple the moment that happened

You can't repair/service them. Even the refurbs have to go back to Apple for repairs because you have no access to parts.​
