I think this is exactly right — when the options on the table are:
- iPhone 17 (~$800)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max (~$1200) a person may reasonably make the choice that they don't need the Pro Max and buy the regular 17. Now, when the options are:
- iPhone 17 ($23/month)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max ($35/month) $12/month extra doesn't seem too bad, except the fact that after 24 months you can't afford to keep the phone and are effectively forced to upgrade to a new iPhone. I agree that more options are generally better for consumers, but these types of leasing programs are predatory and come at a time when everything is becoming a subscription. |
