Visible offers you a nice deal. If you get financed through Affirm you can pay off 50% and they will pay off the other 50% off. Of course you have to send it back to them. Then your old phone goes back to them.

I have always gotten my phones through my carrier. This present phone is six years old, so it’s been a while. I had thought I might switch carriers but I think we’re going to standpat with what we have on T-Mobile. But as far as I can see, T-Mobile isn’t really offering me anything useful. I would have to upgrade to their most expensive plan, which would be really stupid in our case, since we don’t need or want any of the extras that we would get. so the question: has anybody purchased a phone through Apple that is going to be connected with your carrier once you get it? That is not an unlocked phone. What’s that like as opposed to going through your carrier? I figure that if I buy it through Apple, at least I can get 5% back via my Apple card, which beats a blank when you’re talking about 1000 bucks or so.
