One of the many rumors around the upcomingiPhone 14is a new way to pay for the device. With the currentiPhone 13costing upwards of £679/ $699 buying one outright is a significant outlay and a definite barrier to purchase.

Of course, there are already plenty of ways to get theiPhonewithout paying the full amount upfront. Phone networks in the UK have, for many years, offered the phones for a reduced cost – or even for free – as part of a monthly network charge. In the US this tends to be in the form of bill credits each month but the idea is essentially the same.

Applealso offers its iPhone‌ Upgrade Program, which splits the full cost of the phone into 24 monthly payments and allows an upgrade after just 12 months, which will then extend the payments.

According to MacRumors, this year Apple could offer either abuy now, pay laterfeature or a dedicatediPhone subscription. Potentially both. While these might not seem like a big step from the current offerings, they are slightly different.

There are potential benefits to a leasing-style subscription service. Firstly, the monthly cost is likely to be less than even the current upgrade program while still offering benefits such as early upgrades.

Where it could get interesting is if Apple was to package an iPhone subscription with its Apple One subscriptions. The current Individual Apple One subscription, which includes Apple Music,Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and iCloud+ costs £14.95/$14.95 a month. An iPhone subscription that cost around £40/$40 per month and included Apple One would be a big saving compared to buying Apple One and the upgrade program separately and could be a big win for Apple.

Buying an iPhone 14 Max, Pro or Pro Max would obviously cost more. However, astop streaming platformssuch as YouTube TV and Hulu have proved with their live TV subscriptions, people are prepared to pay $65+ per month for their streaming, so why not for a phone and entertainment package.

The problem is, of course, that all those monthly subscriptions mount up. But if Apple is able to package it with its services, you could actually end up saving money.
