That’s fine, I’ll just buy used phones instead again. I will never go back to using big carriers who want me to pay twice as much as a MVNO.
I’m curious whether or not “carrier connection” includes prepaid mobile plans or if it’s shorthand for “contract-only”.
I assume you just have to activate with that carrier. Do the big 3 even have prepaid plans?
Yeah, AT&T has a fairly sweet prepaid plan. Unlimited data, talk, text, no throttling, and only $50 a month if you use autopay.
TIL, that sounds pretty good and I assume it would qualify, if you are activating on att it shouldn’t matter what kind of plan. I recently moved to Visible which is owned by Verizon but unfortunately I don’t think that counts.
The explanation from Apple does not give “why” they are removing financing for carrier unlocked phones.
Is this pushback from the major carriers?
Is GS trying to reduce their liability by offloading financing to major carriers?
So many questions unanswered.
People say GS, but I feel like financing iPhones only makes up a tiny part of Apple Card lending.
