iPad Air 2 Financing Options
With the holiday shopping season upon us, many people are looking to Black Friday sales to alleviate the costs associated with owning the latest consumer electronics. However, there are many existing financing plans offered by Apple and cellular companies that provide buyers with the opportunity to pay for the iPad Air 2 on a monthly basis. Here’s an overview of four financing options currently available for the iPad Air 2.
November 14 marked the launch of Sprint’s latest iPad for Life Plan, which enables consumers to pay for the iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3 over the span of two years, according to Sprint’s official news release. Payments range between $17 to $28 a month, depending on the model and configuration of your iPad. Once the leasing period ends, you have the option to purchase the devices to own, proceed with a monthly lease, or return the iPad.
If you’re planning to get an iPad Air 2 that’s connected to a T-Mobile data plan, then this carrier offers a two-year monthly payment option that includes upfront payments that vary between $0-$199, depending on the iPad Air 2 configuration you choose. The monthly payments are set at $26.24, regardless of the model you select. Users must also pay an additional $10 upfront for the purchase of a T-Mobile SIM Starter Kit.
Verizon customers can also snag an iPad Air 2 from their carrier on a 24-month payment plan with 0% APR, according to the company’s product listing. This financing option is known as Verizon EDGE, and allows customers to pay between $26.24 and $34.58 a month with $0 on all iPad Air 2 models.
AT&T monthly payment strategy is slightly different from the other carriers. Their Installment Plan for the iPad Air 2 includes higher monthly payments that range between $31.50 and $41.50 depending on the model you select. However, the payment period is four month shorter than other companies’ financing options, with the terms ending in just 20 months.
Visa’s Barclay program has been a long-standing financing option for customers shopping directly with Apple. While you are issued a credit card, your Apple purchases do not begin to accrue interest until 6 months or later, depending on your transaction total. An iPad Air 2 16 GB model would qualify for a 12-month interest-free repayment period. You can apply for the Barclay financing program online or at an Apple Store location.
