I was wondering this too, then decided I never want to be locked into a carrier again, so I’m going to cough up the extra cash and finance through Apple only.
You can pay the Apple Card balance in full as soon as the installment plan posts.
Oh I know but if I can’t take advantage of the 10% off, other than preferring not to carry a balance, I have no good reason to pay in full. Might as well earn the interest in my savings for a year
That’s how I look at it. I have no problem paying outright, but why turn down interest-free financing. Also, 10% off would be a serious discount!Oh I know but if I can’t take advantage of the 10% off, other than preferring not to carry a balance, I have no good reason to pay in full.

Only thing would be is you wont be able to track the device. But picking it up at the Apple Store will be a good experience
You’d want to preorder an unlocked - labeled as “Connect with any carrier later” - iPhone. The only difference with this (besides not being locked to a specific carrier) is that you have to pay up front, in full.
I usually wait for my initial credit for the phone to process on my account and the just pay it off
If they did for the 14’s, they will for the 15’s!
It’s technically still on a first come first-served basis… however, since you save your billing information when you pre-pre-order, all you have to do on Friday is log in and fill out the shipping information. So, you’re effectively done with half of it, just got to fill out the last part. That’s why it’s technically first come-first serve, because you’re still not guaranteed a launch delivery! Still gotta be quick!
