Apple Card users will be able to buy an iPhone with no interest for 24 months

The Apple Card is adding more perks. Soon after launch, Apple announced that purchases through Uber and Uber Eats would get customers 3 percent cash back, just like purchases of Apple products. Now, the company is making it easier for customers to get iPhones. In fact, Apple Card users will be able to buy new iPhones from Apple with no interest over 24 months and no fees.

The new offers were announced as part of Apple’s earnings call, and are expected to go into effect sometime in the near future. If you’re interested in getting an iPhone and have an Apple Card, it might be worth waiting until the new feature is activated. If you use your Apple Card, you’ll also get 3 percent cash back on the purchase.

There are similar financing options for iPhones currently available, both through Apple directly and through third-party retailers. For example, as 9to5Mac notes, the iPhone Upgrade Program offers no interest over 24 months. Here, however, you’re paying for the iPhone outright with your card, and you can manage the payments through the Apple Wallet app.

According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the Apple Card has been the most successful credit card launch in U.S. history, and that’s not all that surprising. The key to the Apple Card isn’t the card itself — it’s the Wallet app, which makes managing the Apple Card and seeing insights on your spending simple. According to Apple, the app is built to help people manage their credit and their spending, while discouraging letting the balance build. Lastly, it offers no fees, including international fees.

Apart from the new Apple Card perk, Cook also announced that Apple achieved its highest fourth-quarter revenue ever — $64 billion. While iPhone revenue was down a little compared to last year, it beat expectations — and was offset by income from other areas of Apple’s business, like wearables.

For the first quarter of 2020, Apple expects revenue of a whopping $85.5 to $89.5 billion, which is about on par with last year’s Q1 revenue of $88.3 billion. If it beats last year, it will have achieved its highest Q1 revenue ever.

Someone holding the iPhone 16.

Apple’s iPhone 16 has arrived, and it’s quite an impressive offering this year. Not only does it come in some of the best colors we’ve seen in a while, but it closes the gap between the base and Pro models even more.

That's all to say the iPhone 16 is a fantastic phone, but if you’re thinking about buying it as your next smartphone purchase, you should also consider some of these alternatives.

Public access to certain features of Apple Intelligence is rolling out to users with the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1 updates. However, even if you are fortunate enough to gain early access, the service is currently only available in U.S. English in select countries. That is expected to change in the coming weeks and months.

According to GSMArena, Apple plans to add local English variants in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K. in December. Most recently, it was confirmed that starting in April and continuing throughout 2025, Apple Intelligence will gain support for Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Apple has begun rolling out Apple Intelligence to those with eligible iPhones through the latest iOS 18.1 update.

However, as of today, iOS 18.1 is available to everyone, though Apple Intelligence is only available for the iPhone 15 Pro models and the entire iPhone 16 lineup.

With iOS 18.1, those users can now access several Apple Intelligence features, including Writing Tools, a more natural and capable Siri, summarize notifications, a smarter Photos app, and priority messages in Mail. Be aware that these are just a fraction of Apple Intelligence features — there are even more AI tools coming in iOS 18.2, which is currently in beta.
