After Apple’s recent announcement of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, U.S. mobile carrier Sprint rolled out a new plan called ‘iPhone for Life.” “iPhone for Life” is a rental plan that allows customers to rent iPhones for a monthly flat rate instead of buying the device. Re/code reported that Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure told them, “I think a product like that deserves different treatment.” Claure told Re/code that because Apple’s handsets are at such high demand, they wanted to take advantage of that with this plan.
For those who are interested in Sprint’s new plan, a $20 monthly rental fee is required for base model iPhones. If you are interested in the iPhone 6 Plus, the monthly charge will be more. Since the plan is a rental plan, taxes are not required for customers and customers can upgrade every 24 months. The mobile company will also offer a $50 fee for iPhone-only plans which has unlimited text, talk, and data. Last but not least, customers can also opt to finance the device for $30 a month or pay full retail price for the new iPhone.
Will you be renting the new iPhone, financing it, or purchasing it at full price? Let us know in the comments below.
