Gen 1 Apple Card did a bait-and-switch about using it to buy iPhones with 0% interest. Super frustrating.

How so?

I've used my Apple card to buy a few Apple devices and indeed with 0% interest.

  • I used mine to buy Macbook Airs with 0% interest just fine. For the iPhone, the fine print says you (now) have to sign up with one of their pre-approved carriers. If you use another - Mint or US Mobile or whatever - you're out of luck.

    • And it can’t be prepaid plans, at least with Verizon when I tried that 2 years ago.
